In this post, we already assume that you know how beneficial it is to use a password manager. But which? 1Password, LastPass, Dashlane, SafeInCloud or KeePass? There are so many! See which is the best password manager for keeping your accounts secure without necessarily harming your day-to-day (or putting more information at risk).
The best to pay: 1Password
One of my preferred password managers, 1Password is also the most popular, but it gets paid. For $ 36 a year or $ 60 in the family plan (which allows for up to five people), it offers great applications that allow you to save passwords, save notes, credit card information, identities, documents, and bank accounts.

For some time now, 1Password also has what is called Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP), which is basically a six-digit code as provided by a two-factor check, but technically does not have the same security. It is not a second factor if the temporary password is stored in the same location as your password. It is worth putting the balance for practicality for more security here.
Another useful feature in 1Password is Security Audit, which analyzes your passwords and recommends what to change, either to create a stronger password or to warn you that you use the same password on more than one service. It is very important that you do not repeat passwords to protect yourself from mass leaks.
During the registration in 1Password, you receive a secret key to enter along with your master password at the time of login, a security tactic. The secret key is unique to each account and can not be changed or redeemed. The master password, also for security reasons, can not be recovered in any way: if you forget and can not recover by another device, it was already.
With applications for macOS, Windows, iOS, Android and web version, 1Password has very good sync. At least in the iOS and Mac ecosystem, it's very handy to use the application, which fills passwords automatically and asks if you want to save them. Worth entering the 30-day trial period to see if you can get used to it.
The best for free: LastPass
If you do not want to pay to manage your passwords, LastPass is the best free option. It also lets you store notes, plus passwords (of course), and lets you share those items with other accounts. There is also a section for you to add your personal information if you want it to automatically fill out registration and credit card forms and another to analyze your passwords, such as 1Password.
Apart from these core features, LastPass has a very simple interface and can be installed almost everywhere. In addition to being available in all major browsers, it also applications for Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu / Debian, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone and even Firefox OS.
In Premium (which has recently doubled in price), you can store and encrypt 1 GB of files; share passwords with more than one person, and set up emergency access to recover your account if you lose your password or become disabled. In addition, you have priority in technical support.
Alternatives
Dashlane Password Manager
Another great application, Dashlane has as a difference the Password Changer, a feature that changes your password in all services directly by the application, without having to access the site of each one, copying and pasting the passwords. Simply select the more than 70 supported sites and it generates a different password for each one, automatically changing the service and saving in Dashlane.
Moreover, it has what you expect from an app like: a password generator, auto-fill, digital wallet (which stores payment information and fills automatically). Dashlane can import your passwords from 1Password and LastPass if you want to migrate.
In the free version, Dashlane limits the application to a device but maintains the basic features including unlimited password storage and Password Changer. If you pay $ 40 per year, you can sync your data across multiple devices, back up your account, and more.
KeePassX Password Manager
Open-source, KeePassX is a KeePass fork and runs on Windows and Mac. Password storage is done locally, and you configure data encryption. The interface is not the best, and the database schema can be confusing to the end user, but those who are more advanced (and suspicious) may like it. It is also recommended by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
Enpass Password Manager
After the publication of this post, many people also suggested Enpass. Initially, it seemed more like an ordinary password manager that does not differ much from LastPass, for example. But our readers praise the feature of filling in the fields automatically, useful for those who use Android, in addition to not having a signature: payment is made once.
Other interesting features include TOTP support such as 1Password, can be unlocked by fingerprint and synchronization is done by a service of your choice (iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, among others).
Enpass has a completely free desktop application, available for macOS, Windows, Linux, and Chromebook. On mobile, you can test it for free, storing up to 20 passwords. To unlock the full app on your phone, you pay $ 10 per device only once. It can be downloaded on iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile.
