Bitwarden vs. Dashlane Password Manager vs. Keeper

Bitwarden supports various forms of two-factor authentication, including time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), Duo, YubiKey, and other hardware-based tokens. This integration enhances the security of the Bitwarden account and allows to store and manage their 2FA credentials for other applications within Bitwarden itself.

Dashlane Password Manager works really well for situations where we need to share access to client portals or government filing sites, since multiple people can log in without ever seeing the actual password and we can cut off access right away when it’s no longer needed. It is also great for onboarding and offboarding since new hires or interns can get the logins they need quickly and we don’t have to pass around spreadsheets. Another strong use case is meeting compliance expectations because it shows clients we are serious about security and password hygiene. Where it’s less useful is in environments that already use single sign-on since that already centralizes access and makes Dashlane Password Manager feel redundant. It can also be a little frustrating if you rely heavily on mobile since the autofill doesn’t always work smoothly across different apps.

I can only think of scenarios where Keeper is well-suited, in my experience. I work in small business (i.e., sole proprietor, 1 employee) environments and Keeper is well-suited to my needs. I imagine it would also be well-suited to multi-user environments, but would require a great deal more management and organization in such environments.

• Bitwarden secures company passwords within the organization vault.
• Bitwarden makes entering credentials to different websites a breeze.
• Bitwarden allows us to shares passwords securely within our organization.

• Ensuring secure & unique passwords created for each account.
• Allowing the company to see a "security score" of how secure the team's password management is.
• Sharing passwords securely between employees.
• A "vault" for storing other secure information (notes, credit cards, etc.)
• Free Hotspot Shield VPN included in our tier of accounts.

• Easy to use - you can easily access it anywhere and anytime you want (it has mobile apps, web and desktop versions)
• High level of security - 2-step authentication with your phone number
• Simple to save and get passwords and login information. Keeper fills it in for you. It may create complex passwords for you
• Syncs across all devices

Incentivized

• Sometimes it will not fill in my password and I have to do it manually.
• It does not work as well at filling in passwords on the mobile app.

Incentivized

• Initial setup was a little difficult.
• User SSO invite and sign on would not work at first but this seems to have been improved/fixed.
• The extension on websites doesn't work sometimes and will need to be refreshed if you open a new tab but have already logged in before.

Incentivized

• I find that Keeper could use some work with their desktop interface, a sleeker and friendlier user interface would definitely benefit them.
• Keeper doesn’t have a Security Dashboard, which makes it more complicated to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your passwords.
• The automatic web form filling is somewhat limited at the time, but im sure they will improve it soon.

It has served us very well until now and at the pricepoint it doesn't make us second guess our current relationship.

Bitwarden is easy to use and has a very straightforward simple interface. Having coverage across multiple platforms is the key to its value to me. Additionally, Bitwarden is consistently rated by third party (PC Magazine, Wired, Tom's Guide, etc.) as one of the best password managers available.

Dashlane Password Manager is great for the price. Some feature sets of competitors are lacking, but I'm happy with what we get for the spend. We are a small enough company that I can walk people through the steps, and it isn't something that comes up enough to complain about. Password generation, storage and use are all great.

It's just easy to use, plain and simple. It has the complexity and user-interface that gives you confidence in its build but the ease-of-use that keep things from getting too complicated. A huge plus when you have to onboard new members of the team or summer interns when you need them to step in and make orders on your behalf.

We've had no issues with Dashlane. I can't speak to their customer service because I have not personally needed to contact them. I guess that speaks about their product if we've not had any issues to reach out about. Great for supporting data/information on multiple platforms that are shared among team members.

Because it is so good. It always works, has not crashed even in 3 years; I have a lot of data in it (never any problems).

Bitwarden hasn't been hacked and is easy to implement. None of the others can say the same in both aspects.

Dashlane was a stronger product than Passportal, and it had the sharing capabilities that Passportal didn't. LastPass is better software, in my opinion, and I use it for my personal password storage. I like that Lastpass organizes logins based on the type of website (ex. shopping, banking, etc. ), and it also has an authentication app, so it has you verify logins from your phone for an extra layer of security, which Dashlane does not

From a password manager, they are all similar in terms of organisation and credential management but what Keeper has above these organisations is the MSP/Admin console.

Its intuitive, great to setup and the reporting functionality is second to none compared to the other reviewed tenants.

Incentivized

• Saves me time by storing all of my login information. I'm no longer digging through my notes app or having to reset passwords that I've forgotten.
• Stores vendor names, addresses, and W-9's. I don't have to text or email vendor's asking for this info every time I work with them.
• Protects my data by identifying weak or unused passwords. Bitwarden helped me identify multiple weak and reused passwords and I quickly updated them using their built-in password generator.

• Our cybersecurity posture has drastically been improved since the adoption of Dashlane. Cybersecurity insurance looks very favorably on those that utilize password managers
• Hundreds of hours of IT Admin time has been saved by not needing to reset passwords nearly as much at the user level.
• User productivity is substantially improved when time is spent working and not resetting passwords over and over.

Incentivized

• The spreadsheets and printed papers being passed around the office with passwords on them have gone! This is a huge security hole plugged.
• Users actively use the software which says something - it is easy to use and intuitive. When software is not intuitive, it tends to not get used.
• It gives IT control over who does what with passwords, and while difficult to quantify it is certainly a dramatically positive impact on the organization.
