The current edition requires use of all character sets and downgrades passwords that contain known words or sequences like qwerty or 12345. The rating system has improved since my last review at that time it called the very weak "password" moderately strong. If you want both the convenience of syncing and the security of staying away from the cloud, Sticky Password Premium gives you the option to sync only across your local network.Īs you type your master password, the rating rises from weak to moderate and all the way to strong. Dashlane, too, is free if you forego syncing. And if you forego cloud storage and syncing, the product is free. If, despite the company's assurances about the security and anonymity of your data, you prefer not to have passwords stored in the cloud, that's fine you don't have to sync. F-Secure KEY offers none of these, so it isn't gaining ground on the competition.įor $32.99 per year, you can install F-Secure KEY on all your devices and freely sync your data among them. The current version has added a few features since I last tested it, but other password managers have evolved too, adding advanced features like automatic password updates, secure credential sharing, and password inheritance. F-Secure KEY handles the basic task of remembering your passwords, and it can sync across all your Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices. The whole point of using a password manager is that it remembers all your passwords, leaving you free to change them to complex, random values instead of weak-but-memorable ones like your dog's name, or your birthday.
