Best Password Managers for Passkeys

What separates the best password manager with passkeys on this page?

Seven managers made the cut, and the scores run from 9.3 down to 8.4. The gap at the top is small, but the reasons differ.

1Password scores 9.3 and costs $35.88. It filled 97% of our 150 logins first time, the best in the test, and its Secret Key means a stolen vault is useless without your device. No free tier, and it is not fully open source.

Bitwarden scores 9.2 at $10 a year. The free tier syncs unlimited passwords across unlimited devices, and it is fully open source with annual third-party audits. Autofill fumbled more logins than 1Password — 91% — and the interface is functional rather than refined.

Proton Pass scores 9.0 at $23.88, with hide-my-email aliases generated at sign-up and a free tier with no device or password limit. It is the youngest product here, and autofill missed some in-app logins on Android.

NordPass scores 8.9 at $17.88, or $1.49 a month on the 2-year plan, with autofill at 94%. Its free tier allows one device logged in at a time.

Apple Passwords is free and scores 8.6, with passkeys and Face ID sign-in. Android has no app, and Windows support is limited to iCloud for Windows and Chrome.

Dashlane scores 8.5 at $59.88, the most expensive individual plan here, bundling dark-web monitoring and Hotspot Shield VPN. Keeper scores 8.4 at $39.99, with SOC 2 and FedRAMP certifications, but breach monitoring, file storage and messaging are paid add-ons.
