Google offers a complete ecosystem in which it is easy to feel comfort and convenience. Let me explain: you buy an Android mobile and you already have a long list of installed applications of your suite. The same can be said if you create a Gmail messaging account. And if you opt for the Chrome browser, its extensions and its search engine will almost take care. Before realizing, You depend on Google completely.
And it would be normal and ordinary. After all, the Mountain View Company has a long list of good, beautiful and inexpensive applications: they are free and understand each other perfectly. Of course, at the expense of Require and accumulate a lot of information: Discovering everything Google knows about you is revealing and well, the history of technological disputes with the EU for problems related to confidentiality and the use of data.
In a world in which we are increasingly needing more accounts with their respective and different passwords that they are all robust, the easiest and fastest would be to use the Google password manager, but it would be to give more power and particularly sensitive data, so I looked for alternatives. For something so important, I don't mind paying, but I found a good free manager who meets what I need And it's also open source.
I cannot believe that a good application is free
I gave an old acquaintance a chance he had heard well with nuances: Bitwarden, available for free on Google Play Store. And I say on the nuances because although with a very high score in the Google application shop, it is literally The ugly duckling of managers simply because he has no design particularly modern.
I must say that his appearance is nothing dramatic: he does not seem so aesthetic, but his interface is clear, functional and in It's easy to use. Under these lines for example, how to choose the parameters to generate a robust password:
In addition to being independent of large companies, I was particularly interested multiplySince with Android, but I have iOS and some macOS computers. With Bitwarden, there is no problem: it has its own application in App Store and a Navigator version, which is always good (note: it also works with Windows and Linux). Just create an account with your respective password and you can take your other keys and the generator anywhere. In addition, synchronization is fluid.
For what Bitwarden is incredibly flexible. It is not limited to saving and generating passwords, but you can also save other important and sensitive data and that you want to be more protected than in a simple note.
Las The security options offered are quite robust And in fact, I don't use them all. In addition, you can even use your own server to save passwords. And there is no remaining: there is no shortage of reinforcement classics such as the protection of pins and biometrics. As for benefits, it is possible to use it as an extension for browser or self-reflection, so that I always have my passwords when and where I need it.
He previously said that Bitwarden is free, but there is a little impression: For one person and all of which precedes, it is not necessary to pay a single euro, so I am happy. Of course, if you want double factor authentication or cloud encryption storage, it's time to pay 10 dollars per year (although there is a family subscription for up to six people).
