Who will win?

Avast Passwords looks better than Kaspersky Password Manager because it is not only free, but also functional enough for most users. The only sad thing is the high load on the processor (it would seem that there is nowhere to take it from), and the need to synchronize only through the cloud, that is, you will have to indirectly, but share passwords with developers.

Rating: 4.8 on a five-point scale.

The results of the review of password managers for Android OS

You can completely entrust the innermost to only one program - BlackBerry Password Keeper, since it is maximally open to the user and maximally closed to those who are outside the service. At the same time, no one forces you to leave passwords in the cloud, they can be saved in the gadget’s memory, and then manually synchronized with other devices. Note free license, convenient control and customization, as well as innovations such as fingerprint login.

The second place, in principle, can be given to SafeInCloud and Keeper Security, however, the first one has all the advantages of an opponent, costs less, and backup perhaps not only in the cloud. Behind the second is a significant brand, good technical support, not the most reasonable fee for the service, as well as strict binding to a proprietary service. You can trust these applications, but without fanaticism, because the fingerprint is still stored on the server.

Avast Passwords and Kaspersky Password Manager are solutions for fans of the respective antiviruses, but if the latter requires a fee and does not offer anything new, then its competitor looks more interesting, it is free and no less functional. And management in general is beyond praise. However, it is better to trust them only social networks, passwords from the garage and the dating site. The times are dark now and it is not worth shining bank accounts on remote storages.

1Password in comparison with the countryman looks faded and is comparable to Kaspersky Password Manager, but the second one is still conditionally, but domestic, therefore it outweighs the scales. If you are not a snowdenophile, you can take a closer look at the Canadian solution, since its functionality is richer than that of Avast Passwords, which is interesting in all respects.
