Keeper Password Manager Review: Checks All the Boxes
Lots of functionality, as long as you use the paid version.

Keeper password manager is just as good as the more prominent names in the space, and it comes with a highly competitive price tag. However, it doesn’t do anything to make itself stand out from the crowd.

Pros
++ Competitive price
++ Works on all devices
++ Well-designed interface
++ Family plan includes 10GB storage

Cons
-- Limited free plan
-- Services like dark web monitoring cost extra
-- Doesn’t do enough to stand out from the pack

Dashlane Review: Solid, Web-Based Password Management
Works well enough but the UI can be confusing.

Dashlane offers the features one would expect from a password manager, along with bonuses such as a VPN service and dark web monitoring, but the ho-hum design and lack of consistency may frustrate people who expect more from subscription-based software.

Pros
++ Bundled VPN service, dark web monitoring, and other extras
++ Solid Family plan
++ Can automatically update passwords on certain sites

Cons
-- No desktop apps
-- Some features are restricted based on platform
-- Prompts to save data can be easy to miss
-- Settings can be difficult to navigate and aren’t consistent across platform

Dashlane Review: Solid, Web-Based Password Management

Works well enough but the UI can be confusing.

++ Consistent cross-platform experience
++ Great, easy-to-use browser extensions
++ Family plan is cheaper than competitors

Cons
-- Limited support for non-paid users.
-- Free accounts limited to one device.

++ Excellent security record
++ Open source

Cons
-- Free version is pretty bare-bones

LOL! Listing the need of the secret key to log onto new devices as a con in case of 1P is a joke.

 

[MuzzMelbourne]

Mmmm, I use Apple Keychain. Free with iCloud+. Sets up and syncs across all Apple devices. Easy peasy to use. No mention here though, am I missing something?

No, just the usual marketing article with nonsense.

That's why it is important to take into account the possibilty of mistakes even by experts. Maybe it is just an incorrect typo.

[M4RT1NE2]

Very interesting. Makes me wonder where KeePass went ?

 

[Thales]

even more interesting why Lastpass is the best password manager in this review?
also where is Enpass? This review is just another clickbait.

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I don't agree it's clickbait.
They didn't test all password managers.
But using Bitwarden, coming from LastPass I have to agree LastPass was superior to Bitwarden.
I completely agree with the pros and cons of their Bitwarden and LastPass review.
The cons of LastPass are the reason for using Bitwarden.
No real experience with the others that were reviewed.

 

[TairikuOkami]

Very interesting. Makes me wonder where KeePass went ?

This review was not done in security in mind. They reviewed the best cloud password managers that are easy to use and as @pablozi mentioned, the security precautions are taken as cons.

-Need your secret key to log onto new devices
-Still have to remember two passwords
-It also had difficulty auto-filling logins, which is a feature that can be toggled off for extra security (preventing extensions/webpages to steal you passwords is cons, umm OK)

+Family level has a managed dashboard

Cons
-Hard to navigate
-Unattractive and busy dashboard
-Tutorials are located on separate website
