SafeInCloud Review 2023: Expert Rated 3.5/5

You have numerous options when looking for the best password manager for your personal and business needs. I’ve extensively tested and reviewed password managers, and SafeInCloud falls short.

Read on to learn about the pros, cons, features, and pricing of SafeInCloud. And get answers to frequently asked questions about SafeInCloud.

SafeInCloud, a low-cost password manager, requires a one-time purchase of $4.99. Strictly desktop users get it for free. That said, SafeInCloud only autofills login information. Even free password managers should be more capable than that. Also, with a lackluster app and browser extension, SafeInCloud is best ignored by most people.

SafeInCloud’s compatibility is likely sufficient for most users, but we’d like to see it work with such platforms as Linux, Brave, Opera, and Safari.

Where SafeInCloud loses points, though, is its lackluster browser extension. Also, your vault cannot be accessed via the browser extension –– something I’ve never encountered in a password manager. The sole function of the extension is to autofill passwords.

And the SafeInCloud vault is notably missing a category for addresses. While you can customize your categories, this feels like a notable omission. SafeInCloud’s autofill capabilities are limited to login information, so there’s little reason to store addresses.

SafeInCloud falls behind, though, as it omits many extra features the competition offers. For the most part, I like to recommend password managers that offer 2FA and dark web monitoring. Dashlane is an excellent alternative that offers each of these features and a VPN.

In a crowded market, SafeInCloud doesn’t stand out. Low cost is its primary selling point, but free versions outperform it in many aspects. If you’re seeking a free password manager, consider more premium options to learn which features you value most.

I looked closely at each password manager, spent time using the services, and researched each for hours. My research provides objective information about each company so you can find the one that will be best for you.

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 SafeInCloud to provide a user’s perspective.

I signed up for a plan with SafeInCloud 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.
