Having 2FA/MFA turned on for your Google account is a must. The issue with Google is that it is tied to your Google account. If I only had to manage passwords for myself, something like Google, Bitwarden or Keepass would most likely be sufficient, but with more people and multiple platforms to consider, a paid service like 1Password meets my needs. Unfortunately, I think that is an impossible request because I think that most features that increase convenience results in increasing vulnerability. I a lot of people have issues with password managers because they want the most secure password manager that is free and convenient. In order to access your vault on a new device, you must use a device that is already logged in or you must log in with your account, including your password and your secret key

1Password offered this with ease while other password managers could possibly meet this but with maintenance. I needed a solution that was relatively brainless and secure across platforms for the people in my family.

Works across platforms: This was one of the major points that drove my decision.

Ability to save more than just passwords I started using 1Password a couple years ago and I much prefer 1Password to Google because it is available on multiple platforms, more functionality and based on what I've observed with using 1Password, better security surrounding protection of my information and data.ġPassword user experience features that I've liked (It is possible that Google is able to do some or all of these things, but I did not use them when I was using Google's password service): I've used Google's password services in the past and I think that they're decent from a user experience.

So I am sticking with them and it is free and always on whether it be my computer or phone. I have had Last Pass and a few other password services, yet they all got hacked. Why pay for password protection when Google and Norton both offer it for free.
