The Best Android Password Managers of 2023

For a password manager to work effectively, it needs to be run properly on your operating system. Although there are plenty of password managers to choose from for your Android devices, they can vary widely in terms of security, compatibility, features, and more. We’ve used the following four criteria to come up with our list:

The best password managers encrypt your passwords in such a way that only you can see them, and they’re never stored in plain text. We’ve made sure that all our picks use the latest encryption technology (256-bit AES with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512), and offer advanced security features such as biometric logins and multi-factor authentication.

Even if you’re on the lookout for an Android password manager, it’s worth making sure that it supports your other devices too. After all, migrating to a new smartphone will be a lot easier if you can take your passwords with you.

Some password managers only work on a specific operating system, while others support cross-platform use. This means you can store your passwords in the cloud and access them on all your devices.

While some password managers have limits on how many entries you can store, others allow unlimited password storage and syncing. We’ve focused on those that don’t have restrictions on storage.

Many password managers offer additional features that go beyond simply storing your passwords. A password generator can help you come up with better passwords, while shared accounts allow you to share login details with your family or colleagues. Some password managers even offer encrypted storage and data breach monitoring.

Most of the password managers on our list offer monthly or yearly subscriptions, while some have a free version that won’t cost you a thing. Since you’ll be getting the same type of encryption no matter which plan you choose, we didn’t take price into account when creating our list.

You’ll have to decide for yourself which features you want and how much you want to pay for additional storage or syncing.

Dashlane integrates directly with Android’s autofill functionality, making it easy to access your passwords on your smartphone without having to copy and paste them. Dashlane isn’t limited to Android devices, though. You can also download a desktop app for Mac and Windows devices, or install one of many browser extensions.

Dashlane offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans, while you can keep using the Free plan for as long as you want. The main limitation to this plan is that you can only use it on one device and store up to 50 passwords. Subscriptions start at $4.99 per month, and include unlimited devices and password storage.

Dashlane also offers family and business plans, and additional premium features, such as credit monitoring, identity theft insurance, and a VPN. If you’re looking for a modern password manager with plenty of extras, Dashlane may be worth checking out.

RoboForm has a comprehensive free plan that includes unlimited logins, a password auditing tool, and the ability to share passwords securely. Only its paid plans, though, offer unlimited device syncing, which you’ll need if you want to access your vault on multiple devices. Individual plans cost $23.88 per year, while the family plan costs $47.75 per year and supports up to five users.

All paid subscriptions come with secure folder sharing, two-factor authentication, and 24/7 customer support. You can also import your existing passwords from a .csv file, store your billing details for one-click shopping, and access your vault offline.

Unlike most of the password managers on our list, Enpass doesn’t offer cloud syncing at all. Your passwords are only stored on your device, and you can use your own cloud accounts, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or iCloud, to sync them. This means a little more effort on your part, but less risk of being compromised by a data breach.

Enpass offers desktop apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux that are entirely free, while its Android and iOS apps are free for up to 25 entries. If you want to store more passwords than that, you’ll have to subscribe to a premium plan for $1 per month. Or, pay a one-time fee of $55.99 to get unlimited items and vaults across all of your devices.

Enpass includes a password generator, autofill features, a password auditing tool, and more. You can also set up biometrics and access your vault on wearable devices.

Password Safe is an open-source password manager that was originally designed for Windows but is also available for Apple and Android devices. You can download the Android app directly from the Google Play store and use it for free, or upgrade to the Pro version for a one-time fee of $3.99.

This isn’t the most comprehensive password manager on our list, but it does include several important features, such as a password generator and auto backup. You can also set up two-factor authentication and biometrics for added security.

Password Safe uses 256-bit AES encryption and doesn’t store your passwords in the cloud, so you’ll have to sync your devices over your own local network. If you forget your master password, though, you’re out of luck, since there’s no built-in recovery mechanism. It also has a self-destruct and automatic logout feature.

RememBear is a user-friendly password manager that’s designed for people who have never used one before. You’ll get an animated bear to walk you through everything you need to know about password security and unlock “achievements” along the way.

Beneath its playful exterior, RememBear comes with state-of-the-art security, including end-to-end AES-256 encryption, and a third-party security audit. It’s made by the same team that makes the TunnelBear VPN and is backed by parent company McAfee.

RememBear is compatible with most major operating systems and browsers, with an Android app available in the Google Play store. The free plan comes with a range of useful features, including a password generator and unlimited storage, but only the Premium plan ($3.00 per month) includes unlimited device syncing.

aWallet is a no-nonsense password manager available for Android and iOS that stores your passwords, credit card details, and other account information securely. Unlike many of the other password managers on our list, it doesn’t offer desktop apps or browser extensions, so you’ll only be able to use it on your mobile devices.

aWallet comes in two different versions: a basic free version and aWallet Cloud, which costs $4.49. This version will sync your passwords using Dropbox or Google Drive. It also allows you to import your passwords from a .csv file and set up biometric logins using face or fingerprint ID. You’ll also get access to a password generator.

aWallet doesn’t package itself up in a visually-appealing interface, so it’s best for users who are comfortable with a bare-bones password manager. That said, you’re protected by 256-bit AES encryption, and your data is never stored on anyone else’s servers, so you don’t have to worry about hackers getting access to your aWallet vault.
