Arguably, the value champion is Bitwarden—which not only reigns as our pick for best free password manager, but also somehow manages to offer a ton of features for just $10 per year. But Bitwarden’s one weakness is its more utilitarian interface. That’s how NordPass swoops in with an edge, offering an attractive, streamlined password manager that successfully balances simplicity with flexibility. It’s a better match for us normies, who need a smoother guiding hand when using an app. Available for all major browsers, Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux, NordPass lets you quickly create vaul

RoboForm allows you to import passwords from your browser or another service, with good accuracy—and instant flagging of common weak passwords. For my sample set of imported passwords (about two dozen), saved to CSV, the data came through intact. RoboForm also immediately marked entries with bad passwords like “password” and “123456” with red warning symbols. For direct importing, RoboForm can pull from LastPass, Bitwarden, Dashlane, 1Password, Keeper, NordPass, True Key, Enpass, Kaspersky, Proton Pass, and Myki. For all other services and apps, you can export to CSV and then import that file

RoboForm encrypts data using AES256 bit encryption with PBKDF2 SHA256, with a default of 100,000 iterations. This default makes RoboForm less secure than popular rivals like Bitwarden and 1Password, which use 600,000 and 650,000 iterations (respectively)—a number based on the Open Worldwide Application Security Project’s current recommendations.  Even LastPass now sets its default to 600,000—a move it eventually took after being lambasted for its low iterations. (This lapse in increasing iterations on all accounts is likely a strong contributing factor to hackers successfully breaking into use
