Password Managers

Stop using “Password123”. Use a password manager to generate and store unique, strong passwords for every site.

Cloud-Based (Syncs across devices)

Bitwarden

The best overall choice.

• Why use it: Open source, audited, reliable, and has a great free plan.

Proton Pass

Newer entrant from Proton.

• Why use it: Integrated with the Proton ecosystem using your existing account.

Local-Based (Files stored on your device)

KeePassXC

The community fork of KeePass.

• How it works: Uses an encrypted .kdbx file that you control. Store it on your PC, USB, or sync it yourself.

KeePassDX / Keepass2Android

Android clients for KeePass.

• Usage: Open your .kdbx file on your phone.

[!WARNING] Do NOT use browser built-in password managers. They lack the security features and portability of dedicated managers.
