(Opens in a new window) Read Our Enpass Password Manager Review But if you’re looking for a password manager you can set and forget, I recommend the free tier of PCMag's Editors' Choice winner, Bitwarden, instead. On the plus side, KeePass allows for local credential storage, which is more secure than storing your passwords in the cloud, and you can configure it with the features you want using its trove of associated plug-ins.

Its interface isn't particularly attractive either, and the Auto-Type function didn't work with some multipage logins during our testing. It lacks a lot of the ease-of-use features you associate with modern password managers, such as automatic password capture and replay. Open-source free password manager KeePass is not for those people.

We recommend that you choose one of our top-rated password managers instead.
