Security is a bigger issue in the modern day than ever before, especially on the internet. Over the past little while, we have seen some major hacks that have destroyed and devalued many companies and individuals. These hacks have cost companies and individuals millions of dollars a ton of bad PR. While you yourself are not overly likely to become a hacking target (at least compared to those large companies), it truly can happen to everyone, so it is a good idea to be prepared and have your information secure just in case.
The best way to protect yourself from the possibility of hackers targeting you is to have strong passwords. A strong password normally needs to be long, fairly random and contain letters, numbers and special characters. However, most people have several different online accounts and as a result, have several strong passwords to remember. Unfortunately, trying to remember and keep track of various different passwords is not always easy and can be a big pain. Thankfully, that is where a good password manager app comes in. These apps allow you to safely and securely store passwords and other important data in a secure location.
With security being a huge concern these days, many of these different apps have popped up over the last years. Some are great and worthy of a download, while others are better off being avoided. The purpose of this article is to show you a number of the best options for secure and safe password managers. Any of the apps on this list are worthy of a download, and which one you choose will depend on the features and options you prefer.

With a number of different password manager options on the iPhone, choosing a winner was not an easy task. However, after some consideration, the app that we have chosen as the best password managing app is LastPass. LastPass is a password manager user by millions and millions of people to keep their most sensitive information safe and secure. You will wonder how you lived without this app as it makes keeping track of all of your various online accounts easier than you will ever imagine, and you will likely continue using it for as long as you need to remember passwords and keep them secure.
Instead of having to remember a number of long and strong passwords, this app only makes you remember one. Your LastPass master password is your entry key into this app and from now on, will be the only password you need to remember off the top of your head. Also, this app can be used on your phone, your tablet and even your desktop or laptop computer. So wherever you are and whatever piece of technology you are using, you will be able to have quick and easy access to all of your passwords and private information.
Lets’ start first by taking look at some of the features of this app, to truly understand why it has been named the winner. As mentioned, the app keeps all your password safe and secure. Once you enter in your LastPass master password, you gain access to the app. You can easily scroll or search through the app to see and find all of your passwords for the various different accounts you have.
Another great feature that the app can do is to help you quickly and automatically fill in forms online. The app can also securely store things like your name and credit card information to fill in forms online in seconds. The app also allows you to sign into accounts with saved passwords in seconds by using TouchID. LastPass not only keeps your passwords safe but ensures you can use those passwords and log into your accounts in seconds. You can also organize passwords, so you will never feel lost or not know where a certain password or piece of information is.
The app also allows you to share passwords with ease and can even set up a feature that allows certain people to have emergency access to the app, in case something bad happens to you. This is a great feature, but make sure you only access emergency access to people you really do trust, as you definitely don’t want all of your personal information and passwords getting into the wrong hands. It is also a good idea to use this feature as if you don’t, your passwords to various accounts may be lost forver if something bad were to happen.
Another thing that the app can do is to help you create strong passwords. Simply put, if you don’t use strong passwords, you put yourself at risk for being hacked. However, many of us don’t know how to craft passwords that will be classified as strong. Thankfully, this app can help you with that and you never have to worry if your passwords are strong enough. LastPass features a password generator that lets you customize what type of password you want in terms of length, capital or lowercase, symbols and a number of other things.
In addition to storing passwords, there is more that this app can keep safe and secure. The app can store memberships, IDs, software keys and other things as well. You can also keep private and sensitive notes on this app and you will know they are secure. Audio and video can also be added to the notes. While it is branded as a password manager, it truly is a way to keep everything safe and secure that you want, and it is very easy and simple that everything can be kept and stored in one single app.
Being that this app is all about the safety of your passwords and information, let’s look a bit more closely at the type of security that exists within this app. The app has 256-bit encryption and the app never has your encryption key, you are the only person who knows the password to the app. You also have the option to use a pin code or even use Touch ID if you prefer. The app uses multiple different levels of authentication to make sure you are really you.
The functionality of this app is great as you can see, but that is not the only good thing about LastPass. The design of this app is also quite superb and is one of the best in the category. It has a simple design and color scheme, while still being appealing to the eye. Navigating the app and knowing which password is which is also incredibly easy to figure out.
Perhaps best of all, this app can be downloaded and used for free. The free version of the app should be more than enough for most people, but if you seek a more complete and in-depth experience, you might want to go with one of the two paid versions of the app. The first version is called LastPass premium, and it will only cost you $12 a year. The premium version of this app will allow you to have unlimited sync on any device, give you more security options and will allow you to get priority support. Another version of the paid app is called LastPass Enterprise, and it is created specifically for businesses. You can easily add and remove employee accounts, set requirements, and security policies and many other features.
All things considered, this is one of the best password managers out there and has great security features, a gorgeous design and a simple user interface.
