NordPass and Proton Pass are two of the best password managers and both have surprisingly affordable plans, as well as good free versions.
NordPass has a good free version that lets you store an unlimited number of passwords to sync and autofill logins across devices.
Proton Free is a cybersecurity bundle that includes Proton Pass at no charge. It’s more complete than NordPass Free, since secure sharing is supported for two vaults.
With both services, you get more when you subscribe, and the prices are inexpensive. Unless your budget is very tight, a subscription is usually worthwhile.
Both have modern designs, and I had no trouble finding my way around. NordPass and Proton Pass also have web versions.
Autofill and cross-platform syncing are the most critical components of a password manager. NordPass handles this effortlessly, and so does Proton Pass.
Secure login sharing is another essential feature of the best password managers. NordPass and Proton Pass offer good sharing features, with options to limit whether the recipient can autofill the login, share it with others, or edit it.
NordPass and Proton commit to protecting your privacy. Both get regular independent security audits to verify their servers can’t be breached and the encryption technology is working correctly with no vulnerabilities that hackers can take advantage of.
Overall, I prefer Proton Pass, which has full-featured free and paid versions of its password manager. However, for families of four to six, the NordPass Family plan offers better value.
Bitwarden offers a lower-cost family plan with support for six premium accounts.
