How we compare
We do not quote other providers’ prices because they change often. Other providers’ strengths are in the table just like ours: Bitwarden can be self-hosted, Proton Pass offers email aliases. Our strength is one account for files and passwords with data centres in Germany.
Beta: the password manager works but has not yet been externally reviewed. Create your emergency sheet and export your passwords regularly. We open the beta step by step. After signing up, you request access with one click.
