Reply To: pswd Managers Hi All, So recently started looking at pswd managers. Anyone have any recommendations for any? The ones so far caught my eye are (in no particular order) Dashlane 1Password bitwarden…

Hi Thanks

Been looking at some reviews and looks like 1password seems to score slightly better and ppl recommend this over dashlane?

Also seems dashlane has some intermittent issues on android but 1password seems to be ok.  Not a huge factor for me as although I have a android phone, I don’t really purchase or login to sites via it, i mainly use it to check emails and browse websites in general, not login/buy items so not a big issue for me.

Only issue with 1password is it seems as it it was created mainly for use on Macs but has now been made to work on windows so i suspect the integration with mac/ios is probably pretty good and they are implementing some new feature coming when IOS 17 is release, something to do with a API in IOS 17, i guess they are creating it using beta version at the moment.

I did enquire via twitter to 1pswd, seems the family account can be used for family, friends they don’t mind and one advantage is that each person gets there own unique login BUT has effectively a private and public vault so anything in private is only useable and accessible by them BUT what they put in shared can be used by the family so is handy but as you mentioned has the travel mode but i doubt I’d use that tbh.  I’m only likely to use it for pswds, not planning to use it to store card details, passport, driving license etc etc etc…

Also apparently dashlane has dropped there apps in favour or web based and one reviewer marked it down quiet heaving as if your browser was compromised, potentially this could cause issues wit the pswds you select etc.
