The Top 3 Password Managers for Windows: Detailed
The Best Overall Password Manager for Windows: Dashlane
Works on
- Windows
- Android
- OSX
- iPhone
- Linux
Pros
- Beautiful and easy to use app on Windows
- Patented Security Architecture
- Auto Password Change features
- Zero-knowledge protocol
- Great identity and from filling features
Dashlane evaluation:
As in many other categories, Dashlane shines here as well – Their Windows client is impeccable, and if you would like to try it out, you can do so with a 30 day premium option for free. The user experience in windows is the best amongst the password managers we have tested, the only thing which could be counted as a con is the price, but with the bundled VPN, we are more than willing to shell out the money for this wonderful product.
Number 2 for Password Managers for Windows: Roboform
Works on
- Android
- OSX
- iPhone
- Windows
- Linux
Pros
- Very well thought-out features
- Specialized on Form filling and Passwords
- Industry Standard Encryption
- Unlimited Passwords on free plan
Roboform evaluation:
Even though Roboform has a better interface on Android devices, we were still blown away by the features it provided us from form-filling and managing identities to manage passwords and any type of secure notes. The windows UI of the native app is a bit out-of-date, but it’s not a big issue, especially if we take into account the very reasonable pricetag, and the abundance of features it provides.
Number 3 for Windows Password Managers: Sticky Password
Pros
- Automatic one‑click login and form-filling
- Reasonable price
- Easy to use Windows app
- Automatic Form Filler.
- Very simple setup
Sticky Password evaluation:
We have realized that the Windows top 3 eerily resembles our Android top 3 Password manager list, but it is what it is, on other platforms there is a larger difference between the providers… Anyway, Sticky Password, made by a Czech Cybersecurity team has a very interesting approach to security (besides the Industry Standard encryption and Zero-Knowledge architecture) which you can read about in our In-Depth Review, and it also shines on Microsoft Windows platform as well, putting it into a solid top 3 position.
