Password Boss Review 2023: Expert Rated 4.6/5

Password Boss makes it easy to store, manage, and share passwords. You can import passwords from websites, other password managers, or a file. With the browser extension, simply scroll through the list of saved passwords and Password Boss will complete the log-in. Here are the details of its pros and cons:

The browser extension makes it easy to access saved passwords and fill forms with a single click. Everything is customizable, too, making it adaptable to fit your needs.

You can also share passwords with other app users from the Sharing Center. My favorite part of this feature is you can determine the level of access you grant. You can cancel your share at any time and still retain ownership of your information so the recipient can’t re-share your data. And don’t worry, as shared items are still encrypted.

Password Boss is a great password management tool, but competitors including Dashlane, Keeper, Roboform, LastPass, and NordPass could be a better fit depending on your needs. See how Password Boss compares to other top-tier password managers:

Our rating process involves a thorough and detailed study of the various features stacked against the competition. I looked at the multiple facets and features provided by 1Password compared to other significant industry players through direct testing to ensure an accurate rating. I’ve also applied my experience using 1Password to provide a user’s perspective.

I signed up for a plan with Password Boss to test:

• Plan value: Most password managers offer various subscription plans from free to around $20 per month. While free plans may be sufficient for some, those that need more functionality may prefer paid plans.
• Platform compatibility: You likely access your online accounts from multiple devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, phones, as well as through different web browsers. Your password manager should be compatible with various devices, operating systems and browsers, and sync seamlessly between them all.
• UX: This is how you interface with all the features and functions of your new password manager — if it’s bad, you’ll be less likely to use the service. While this is a highly subjective category and some will disagree, it’s important to provide an overview based on my experience.
• Form filling: A password manager doesn’t have to include form-filling, but it’s somewhat standard and the ease with which it performs that function can be the deciding factor in which password manager you ultimately choose.
• Security: Since a password manager is first and foremost a security tool, it should come with all of the most up-to-date standard security features. This includes the highest level of available encryption (256-bit AES with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512); 2FA, such as biometric logins or multi-factor authentication, and a password generator.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA): Used all over the internet to protect your accounts, this is quickly becoming a standard security practice. 2FA is a great way to secure more sensitive accounts to ensure they’re not breached.
