The best free password managers: Expert tested by ZDNET
We use passwords every day to access everything from our social media profiles to our bank accounts -- and if you are following good password hygiene rules, you have a lot of complex, unique logins that are impossible to remember. A password manager can help you organize and store this information securely, while giving you quick access when you need it. You don't even need to pay a premium for this service, as there are several great free password managers to choose from.
There are some excellent password managers today which provide an abundance of required features free of charge. This leaves really no excuse for anyone still using the same password across different sites.
ZDNET has listed Bitwarden, NordPass, Proton Pass and LogMeOnce as worthy of their recommendation. All these services provide full synchronisation across all your mobile and computer/laptop devices. So, by using them, you are also not locked into a specific OS or OEM.
Today, one also wants to be sure your password manager can handle TOTP and passkeys (also synced across all your devices). Some now also offer hide your e-mail functionality.
The linked article also adds a few worthy mentions at the end such as KeePass, RoboForm and Dashlane.
