KeePass keeps every account inside a single encrypted database and asks you to remember one master key. Version 2.61.1 arrived on 1 May 2026 with a list of fixes, and Auto-Type fills forms by simulating keystrokes.

KeePassXC 2.7.12 is free and open source on Windows, macOS and Linux, storing every account in one local encrypted file with a browser extension for autofill and a generator built in. Data never sits on a vendor server, and no subscription is charged.

Passbolt is an open source credential platform for teams, with the vault running on your own server or inside the firewall. A browser extension, mobile apps and a command line tool share one encrypted set of data, sharing uses OpenPGP public keys, and private keys stay on the client.

A password and passkey manager built on zero knowledge encryption: scrambling and unscrambling happen on the local device and the service stores only ciphertext. Extensions and native desktop and mobile clients all open the same vault, while the free tier caps at ten records and one mobile device.

A multi-platform security subscription for personal use that puts virus, malware and ransomware protection in the same licence as system performance tools, covering five desktop and mobile systems. A 30-day trial has replaced the old long-running free edition.

One encrypted file on your own disk, no cloud sync, no telemetry, no account: a password vault whose trust model is a file and a master password, nothing else.

Emptying the recycle bin leaves the data where it was. This old utility overwrites it, handles free space and whole disks, and puts a confirmation step in front of an operation you cannot undo.

A security suite built around the opposite premise of most rivals: a small engine, a quiet background and scans you do not notice, with a full-feature trial before you decide about paying.

WARP encrypts everything from the device to the nearest edge node over WireGuard, sends lookups through an encrypted resolver, needs no account and has no traffic limit. Free on every platform, with post quantum crypto added in 2026.

CryFS is an open source encrypted filesystem for cloud folders: it splits files into encrypted blocks, scrambles names and directory structure, and gives you a normal mounted folder on the desktop while the cloud only ever stores unreadable chunks.

Enpass has no server holding your vault: the encrypted file stays on your devices, syncs through a cloud account you already own, and unlocks with a key that never leaves your head.

Cryptomator is an open-source tool that encrypts files in a local vault with AES-256 before they sync, so a cloud provider only ever stores unreadable data.

LastPass keeps logins, payment details and private notes in one encrypted vault unlocked by a single master password, fills login fields from the browser extension, and marks weak or repeated credentials in the vault.

AdBlock Plus stops advertising requests before they load, and its one surprise is a whitelist that is on by default and has to be turned off by hand.

NordPass keeps passwords, passkeys, cards and secure notes in a vault encrypted with XChaCha20 under a zero-knowledge design, and the free tier sets no limit on how many items you store.
