>>> Top 5 free password managers

There’s no need to pay a penny for a good, strong password manager. Read on for our pick of the best freebies out there — our preferred tool Bitwarden is a match for many of the paid–for alternatives, which are listed on p73.

Buttercup

From buttercup.pw Buttercup takes things a step further than KeePassXC by offering mobile apps for Android and iOS alongside its desktop offerings, but a lack of support for Safari could be a deal–breaker.

Keychain Access

From apple.co/3JYkDrH Keychain Access is built into macOS, so you can save passwords without a third–party app. Link it to your iCloud account to sync passwords between devices and Chromium web browsers.

Bitwarden

From bitwarden.com Bitwarden is cloud–based, and rivals paid–for services with its features and support for a wide range of devices. Key functionality is free, and a premium account costs just $10 a year.

KeePassXC

From keepassxc.org KeePassXC is one of the oldest free password managers out there — this element offers a modern interface and the ability to sync passwords between macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Avira Password Manager

From passwords.avira. com

The free version of Avira can be accessed via a web dashboard, supported browser extensions, or via a mobile app.
