This feature is especially important for families who want to share online accounts or bill pay sites or companies who need to share email, social media accounts or other account logins. We researched secure sharing capabilities and how many people could share at a time. While password sharing is a common feature for paid password managers, it’s not always offered in free ones. We also checked how well they worked with biometric logins for users who have face or fingerprint scanning on their phone, laptop or tablet. The interface should also be easy to operate, so you can generate new, stronger passwords and autofill usernames and passwords on logins. We compared Bitwarden and KeePass on ease of set up and use because a good password manager should be simple to download, set up and create a list of your passwords. We looked at three types of compatibility, which included compatibility with operating systems on desktops and laptops, browsers and iOS and Android for mobile devices. Password managers aren’t very useful if you can’t use them everywhere, so we compared the types of hardware and software Bitwarden and KeePass were compatible with. We also checked for up-to-date security methods, two-factor authentication and whether the password manager ever had a third-party security audit. Deciphering this encryption is almost impossible when password managers use industry-standard encryption like Advanced Encryption Standard. A good password manager stores your data securely by using strong encryption to protect your data while it’s on your computer, on the password manager’s server and moving between the two.
