Their Pitch

Unwrap simple, secure logins.

Our Take

A password manager that stores all your login info in one encrypted vault and fills it in automatically. You remember one master password instead of 47 different ones.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

Used For

  • +**You're typing passwords 10-20 times per day and getting locked out constantly** → One-click autofill gets you into any account in under 5 seconds
  • +**Your team shares vendor logins via email and Slack messages** → Secure sharing with instant revocation when people leave or projects end
  • +**You reuse the same weak password everywhere because remembering is impossible** → Generates unique strong passwords and monitors if they appear in data breaches
  • +Emergency access feature - trusted contacts can get your vault if something happens to you
  • +Dark web monitoring alerts you when your info shows up in breaches before you even know about them

Best For

  • >Your team is emailing passwords in Slack like it's 2003
  • >You're locked out of accounts daily because you forgot which email + birthday combo you used
  • >Managing 20+ logins for freelancers and need to revoke access instantly when projects end

Not For

  • -Solo users or tiny teams under 5 people — the free tier limits you to one device type, forcing you into paid plans for basic functionality
  • -Companies that need to keep data on their own servers — it's cloud-only with no self-hosting option
  • -Anyone still paranoid about the 2022 security breaches — there are alternatives without that baggage

Pairs With

  • *Active Directory (syncs users automatically so you don't manually manage 50 accounts when people join/leave)
  • *Google Authenticator (for two-factor authentication because passwords alone aren't enough anymore)
  • *Okta (for single sign-on integration, though LastPass's SSO add-ons get expensive)
  • *Chrome (replaces the built-in password manager that everyone uses but shouldn't)
  • *Slack (where people used to share passwords before getting this)
  • *Zoom (one of those daily logins that becomes one-click instead of 'what email did I use again?')

The Catch

  • !The 'Business' tier looks like $6/user/month but full SSO and advanced MFA add-ons cost an extra $4/user/month
  • !Free tier's 1-device-type limit means you can use all your computers OR all your mobile devices, not both
  • !Security dashboard will overwhelm new users with weak password alerts for accounts you forgot you had

Bottom Line

Stops you from using 'password123' everywhere, but those 2022 security breaches still haunt its reputation.
