Feel secure with these password managers

Memorizing multiple passwords can be a pain, but it's downright dangerous to use the same one for everything, and online privacy is not the place you want to be cutting corners. With many employees still working remotely, it's never been more essential to make sure that your online presence is secure and safe from prying eyes.

Unless you want to constantly safeguard a hard-copy list of all your passwords, you might want to consider a password manager, which is essentially an encrypted digital vault that stores secure password login information you use to access apps and accounts on your mobile device, websites and other services. Here are three of the best password managers you can find.

WHAT Bitwarden

THE COST Free to $5 per month

AVAILABLE FROM bitwarden.com

Bitwarden leads the list of password managers thanks to its open-source roots and its unbeatable — and unlimited — free version. This lean encryption software can generate, store and automatically fill your passwords across all of your devices and popular browsers with competitive security strength.

The premium subscription allows you to share passwords, logins, memberships and other items with trusted family and friends, use multifactor authentication through YubiKey and get 1 gigabyte of encrypted storage.

Bitwarden's free version also offers a one-to-one texting feature called Bitwarden Send which allows you to securely share login information with another person.

WHAT LastPass

THE COST Free to $4 per month

AVAILABLE FROM lastpass.com

If you use the free version of LastPass you can only choose it for either mobile or desktop, not both.

If you choose mobile, you'll be able to access your LastPass account across your phones, tablets or smartwatches, but not on your laptop or desktop app — unless you upgrade to Premium, for $36 a year, or Families, for $48 a year.

The Premium version also allows you to share passwords, logins, memberships and other items with trusted family and friends, use multifactor authentication through YubiKey and get 1 gigabyte of encrypted storage. Meanwhile, the Families plan gives you six individual accounts, shared folders and a dashboard for managing the family accounts and keeping an eye on your account's security.

WHAT 1Password

THE COST $7.99-$19.95 per month

AVAILABLE FROM 1password.com

If you're looking for a trusted password manager app to keep your login information private and secure, 1Password is the best password manager for the task, letting you access your accounts and services with one master password. It's available for all major device platforms.

A travel mode lets you remove your 1Password sensitive data from your device when you travel, then restore it with one easy click when you return so that it's not vulnerable to border checks.
