Is it worth paying for a password manager?

It could be worth paying for a password manager if you want advanced features or unlimited device syncing. However, free options are often enough for those who want secure password storage for a limited number of devices on a single account.

Is Norton Password Manager safe?

Yes, Norton Password Manager is considered highly secure and safe to use. It uses industry-standard AES-256 encryption and incorporates advanced privacy features like zero-knowledge architecture for added protection.

Is Google Password Manager safe?

Google Password Manager is a convenient and generally secure option, especially for those already using the Google ecosystem and who have two-step authentication set up. However, unlike some dedicated password managers, Google doesn’t provide as much publicly available detail about its encryption approach, and it doesn’t use zero-knowledge architecture.

Can password managers be hacked?

Yes, password managers can be hacked. In 2022, for example, LastPass suffered a breach that led to millions in user losses. That said, such incidents are extremely rare, and most password managers remain a far safer option than reusing weak or repeated passwords.
