--SMPOST--What is the Best Password Manager for 2023?

Bitwarden, the one and only password manager that allows me to host my own stuff while giving me full support on mobile apps! The only limitation is that you will have to pay extra for the haveibeenpwned API integration (which is included in the hosted version)

Thanks for the informative video! Could also be interesting to consider the payment options as part of “features” or “pricing”. Having one or multiple means of paying for a service is an important security consideration in itself for some.

Great video, I appreciate you for doing these comparisons!
I just had a few minor moments of questioning i.e. when you mentioned a feature of one password manager but said nothing about it being there or the lack of with another pw manager.
You mentioned that Synology C2 is the only one that let's you choose where your data is stored but as far as I know 1Password lets you (kinda) choose as well between US, CA and EU.
I think there was another thing about 1Password that caught my attention but it was so minor I already forgot.
Again, great video!

Thanks Pete, i look forward every year for this video.
Personally i was on LastPass when it was free, when they "forced" us to go to a paid version i was a free agent and actually went for Dashlane, I like Dashlane until they removed the Desktop App.
So when i saw your videos i migrated again to 1Password. Looks like this year ill just stick to what i have.

Living on the edge here with Google Password XD

i love bitwarden i also use it and i do agree that its ease of use is where it struggles and it is more for advanced users. Just personal opinion i think every password manager has its place for a certain type of person non are perfect but they all have there strengths and weaknesses

[bmab]

As an "ignorant" user that just uses the built in google/ apple and Microsoft stuff I NEED a video to teach me what justifies paying 1 password, I understand security but these free and comfortable options are that bad? Has Microsoft ever had a breach?

[coweatsman]

I have used Keepass for years but may try another PWM in the future. KP has served me well but it requires a lot of hands on management such as backups syncing between devices with USB drives and lacks a lot of functionality of the others. It does not use a vault which is a plus but also a minus.

[charleshilger]

Thank you for the details. What would you recommend for someone who is not real tech-savvy and needs something more intuitive?

[alhadad]

Thanks for the superb video. How is Norton password manager performing in front of all above?

[firalia]

What about NordPass? It's definitely a decent enough password manager to be on this list now, especially with the free base offering

[VitorSantana-nl]

Thanks A LOT, Pete! Really helped me out 🙌🏾

[clinten]

Im using Dashlane I didn't know it was a big security issue that its a browser extension only are you sure its an issue? Why would they make it browser only then? I haven't heard of any breaches. So far its working really great on pc and android. My score is a 10/10 from my experience and I have used it a few years. Interesting to see your view on it.

[ManpreetKainth-xjil]

Brilliant review thanks, how would you rate apples in built password manager?

[Share_and_Enjoy]

As you requested. My 1Password watchtower score: 1170 with 112 items.

Love your all content bro. Love from Pakistan🇵🇰

[jaco]

Maybe someone already asked, but why is no one reviewing the Enpass?
It has an app for almost anything, and I like the ability to store vaults “offline” on a NAS.

[tinah]

Hi Pete. Thanks for the discount links. For 1password, is the 25% off a personal account only for 1 year? Or for more than a year?

[liorshavt]

What would you recommend and why, c2 password free plan, or Bitwarden free plan?

[DiacriticalOne]

Keeper has Yubi key integration as well, and had app login/password on Mac. I prefer a shared password(s) rather than the emergency user access, if I’m going to give access to someone (even if it’s a time-limited one-use password), but it’s just an option.
