Now, unfortunately, not every password manager I tested had all these qualities. Because you don’t want to go through the pain of pasting username and passwords every time you log in to an account.Īnd at last, I also expect the tool to spot weak passwords and store and sync data like card information, notes, online identities, online accounts, and more. In addition to this, features like automatic login, autofill, form capture, and an auto password generator are also imperative. Most of them have a dedicated Mac app but finding the right one is the real job.Īn ideal online Password Manager for Mac should be compact in security and encrypt your data using the latest 256-bit AES system. The case with password manager apps is a bit different, though. I don't expect quality software to be free, or that someone else's hard work should be uncompensated.īut please be honest about the real costs and let the buyer decide.Finding password manager apps for macOS is not an easy job.Īfter all, not every software is compatible with the platform designed only for Apple products. And the reviewers don't need to specify which version their comments apply to.Īlso, I am more than willing to pay for software. MacUpdate allows vendors to post the price of the least expensive alternatives of their software. Of course, this isn't limited to Dashlane. And the reviews: which version, "Free," "Premium," or "Premium Plus," do the Dashlane reviews pertain to? Surely no one could give a 5-star review to a password manager that manages a max of 50 passwords.
Why MacUpdate lets companies indulge in such deceitful advertising is beyond me. Keychain Access, the password storage function in your browser, or even an Excel spreadsheet should be more than sufficient.įor everyone else, the "Free" Dashlane is just a deceptive come-on, because you'll need, at minimum, the "Premium" version for which you'll pay an annual fee.Īs someone below noted, the price for the "Premium" version is pretty much in line with 1Password's. It stores "up to 50 passwords." Dear friends, if all you have to manage is 50 passwords, a password manager is way overkill. The crippleware (or "dumb down" if you prefer) version is "free."
