The best password managers for Android of 2025: Expert tested

Bitwarden consistently features as one of my top password manager recommendations across numerous platforms, and Android is no different. 

Why we like it: With Bitwarden, you can sync unlimited credentials across as many devices as you want for free, so it’s easy to access your logins, credit cards, identities, and notes wherever you need them. Saving and autofilling work well in mobile apps and browsers via biometric unlock (fingerprint or face). 

Review: Bitwarden

Bitwarden is open source and highly secure, with end-to-end AES-256 encryption, so you can trust that your data is protected behind your master password and any enabled multi-factor authentication (MFA) method. Additionally, Bitwarden features built into the Android app include a username and password generator and secure text sharing via Bitwarden Send. 

Who it’s for: Bitwarden’s password management features should suit the majority of users, whether you want a free solution or you are happy to sign up for a paid plan. 

“It’s easy enough that anyone can use it and secure enough that everyone should be using it,” according to ZDNET writer Jack Wallen.

Bitwarden provides a free option and also offers paid plans that come with extras like secure file sharing, emergency access, in-depth security reports, and an integrated time-based one-time password (TOTP) authenticator. 

At $10 per year (or $40/year for a family of up to six), Bitwarden Premium is an excellent value. Note, however, that some of these features are web-only and can’t be accessed on mobile. 

Who should look elsewhere: Some users aren’t too keen on the app’s interface, and so you might want to try out different solutions before you make a final decision. 

Bitwarden features: Autofill and autosave | Secure note storage | Username and password generator | Encrypted sharing via Bitwarden send | Biometric unlock | Passkey support 

1Password is another password manager I often recommend for people in the Apple ecosystem, and it also provides an excellent experience on Android. 

Why we like it: The 1Password app is clean and easy to navigate for creating and storing credentials, and it works smoothly to autofill logins across mobile apps and browsers with biometric unlock (fingerprint, face, or iris). 1Password has a template library with more than 20 credential types for saving everything from logins and credit cards to medical records and passports, as well as options to tag and organize your items. 

Review: 1Password

You’ll set up both a master password and a Security Key for your vault, as well as optional MFA. 1Password uses strong AES-256 encryption and provides Watchtower, a feature that alerts you to security issues with anything saved in your vault. As this is built into the Android app, you can update or edit weak or compromised credentials on the go. 

You can also securely share records on mobile with anyone, even if they don’t use 1Password, with granular sharing settings. While the mobile app has most features, there are some (like Travel Mode) that can only be accessed via the 1Password web app. 

Who it’s for: Individuals who want a user-friendly Android password manager. 

An annual subscription to 1Password costs $36/year for individuals or $60/year for a family of five. 1Password doesn’t have a fully free tier, but you can try it for 14 days before committing. 

Who should look elsewhere: Anyone who prefers open source solutions for further transparency. However, 1Password does submit to independent security audits. 

1Password features: Autofill and autosave | Secure storage and sharing | Biometric unlock | Passkey support | Watchtower security reporting | 24/7 customer support 

Keeper is a solid choice for people new to password management.

Why we like it: Keeper has an intuitive interface and guided onboarding, which makes it easy to learn how to optimize the tool, as well as detailed user guides and 24/7 customer support. 

On Android, Keeper’s autosave and autofill features work smoothly with support for biometrics, and Keeper has around 20 record types, ranging from ID cards to software licenses, with optional custom fields. The mobile app also has support for record sharing and some of Keeper’s more unique features, including account recovery, self-destruct, and offline access (conditional with two-factor authentication, or 2FA, settings). 

Review: Keeper

Like my other password manager picks, Keeper has end-to-end 256-bit AES encryption and requires a master password with optional MFA, including authenticator apps and physical security keys. If you enable the self-destruct feature, Keeper will wipe data stored locally after five failed logins (if your Android device is lost or stolen). 

Who it’s for: Keeper is a great option for non-technical individuals and anyone who wants an easy-to-use, solid password manager.

“I especially appreciate Keeper for its enterprise-level security and best practices,” says ZDNET Editor-in-Chief Jason Hiner. “It also integrates seamlessly with biometrics. And it’s one of the easiest password managers for nontechies to get started with.”

Who should look elsewhere: Individuals and families that need a budget-friendly option. Keeper costs $40 per year for an individual account and $85 per year for a family with up to five users. Unlike with similar password managers, a Keeper subscription doesn’t include dark web monitoring or secure storage, which are add-ons starting at $20 per year and $10 per year, respectively. 

Keeper does technically have a free plan, but you get just 10 logins on a single device. Instead, you can try Keeper for 30 days before paying for a subscription. 

Keeper features: Autofill and autosave | Secure record sharing | Biometric unlock | Passkey and MFA support | Password health reports | Self-destruct feature 

Proton Pass is a relative newcomer to password management, but as a product of the company behind Proton VPN and Proton Mail, it’s a solid choice for privacy-focused Android users.

Why we like it: Proton Pass is open source and end-to-end encrypted. You’ll first set up a global Proton account, where you can access any of Proton’s other services. You can then add a master password for your Pass vault, as well as 2FA. 

In addition to saving and filling credentials on your device with support for biometrics, a free Proton Pass account comes with password health alerts and up to 10 hide-my-email aliases. (Note that free users can store logins and notes but not payment methods.)

Review: Proton Pass

Upgrade to a paid plan and you get unlimited email aliases, dark web monitoring, built-in 2FA, and more advanced AI-powered account protection. An individual Proton Pass subscription costs just under $30 per year, while a family plan runs $60 for up to six users. You can also get Proton Pass with Pass Unlimited, which gives you access to all of Proton’s services. 

Who it’s for: Anyone who needs a free or paid password manager with privacy at its core. Proton is well-known for its Virtual Private Network (VPN) and takes consumer privacy and security seriously. 

Who should look elsewhere: Proton Pass currently lacks some of the features built into other, more established password managers — such as credit card autofill, custom records, and file attachments — and so it might not be the right choice if these features are important to you. However, the company frequently rolls out updates and publishes its road map for upcoming releases. 

Proton Pass features: Autofill and autosave | Secure sharing | Biometric unlock | Password health reports | Integrated two-factor authentication | Hide-my-email aliases | Dark web monitoring
