Quality has slipped since the app changed hands: crashes on database open, upgrade pop-ups for Pro users, passkeys issues (crashes on save), cross-platform purchases don't sync across devices.

Complaints: Master password periodically fails for no apparent reason, TOTP is paid-only, slow sync, a bug shows phantom TOTP codes on entries that don't have one.

A full-featured password manager with a long history and a real base of loyal users, but with annual price hikes and a migration path designed to be painful.

Complaints: Backups are incompatible between versions 5 and 6, no export to standard formats (proprietary only), no developer support, freezes on iOS 18, no backup reminder.

A veteran dating back to Palm Pilot days: strong AES-256 encryption, flexible storage, but version 5 broke sync for a significant number of users and the new sync key mechanism is confusing.
Praised: AES-256-CBC with HMAC-SHA512, 256,000 PBKDF2 rounds, no proprietary servers (data stays with the user), flexible entry structure including photos and documents, decades of reliable use.

A cross-platform password manager with category support and Face ID that worked reliably for years. The problem: multiple waves of monetization changes stripped paid users of features they'd already paid for, without explanation.
Praised: Categories for organizing entries, Face ID (when it works), simple interface, good fit for older users, long-standing loyal user base.
Complaints: Touch ID unexpectedly moved behind a paywall for users who had already paid, Android purchases don't carry over to iOS, CSV import only works through an iTunes directory, no master password reset.

A solid concept with user-owned encrypted storage, but the product is degrading due to intrusive features and reputational damage from changing terms without notice.
Praised: User owns the vault and chooses where to store it (iCloud, Dropbox, etc.). Works on all platforms. Passkeys and TOTP support. Good value at the lifetime price.
Complaints: Forced master password entry on a timer that can't be disabled even in settings. Sync regularly breaks (iPad and Mac). The app forgets a purchased subscription and shows ads. Users report data being transferred to Apple Passwords without consent.

A password generator without a real vault it paywalls viewing saved passwords. Review content is nearly empty and users are left confused by the app.
Praised: Simple interface is accessible to beginners, a few categories for storing data.
Complaints: Can't copy a password without a paid subscription. No Sign in with Apple. Interface is not intuitive. Users can't figure out how to use the app.
Best for: Not a good fit for almost anyone in its current state.
Rank 47. Review score: 22 out of 100. App Store rating: 4.7★ · 663,299 ratings
22of 100
Microsoft's corporate authenticator that systematically locks users out when they switch phones. The cycle of 'need a code to log in, need to log in to get a code' is documented in dozens of reviews.
Praised: Works steadily as long as you don't need to transfer your account to a new device, protects corporate Microsoft accounts.
Complaints: The authentication loop on phone changes makes access impossible, codes and notifications periodically fail to arrive, the approval interface is confusing (easy to mix up Deny and Approve), support is unreachable or offers paid assistance.
Best for: Corporate users whose IT department has issued Microsoft 365 and who have no choice.
About scores
Two scores — two sources
They help compare apps, but they don’t replace checking your own job.
Review score · up to 100
The stored score from inApp research on review texts. It rates the app overall in the archive, not the reliability of any one feature.
Store rating · up to 5
The rating from the app’s page when the data was collected. The current rating and version may differ.
In the archived sample for this topic: 47 apps and 11,524 reviews read. That is the total size of the research, not the number of reviews per app.
A gap between the scores doesn’t prove manipulation. The calculation date and the full scoring method aren’t in the mobile archive. Compare the job descriptions and the source quotes, and check the terms in the current version.
