If you already let your browser save passwords, you are doing better than most people. The question is whether it covers everything you need to keep safe.
| What you need | Browser saved passwords | Zen Passwords |
|---|---|---|
| Website logins | Yes, inside that browser | Yes, in every browser and app on your devices |
| Passkeys | Often, depending on the browser | Yes |
| Cards, bank accounts, IDs, Wi-Fi | Cards sometimes, the rest rarely | Yes, each with its own card design |
| 2FA codes | Rarely | Yes, beside the login |
| Secure notes and photos | No | Yes, encrypted with the item |
| Weak and reused password checks | Often | Yes, plus breach checks with Premium |
| Cost | Free | Free for 5 items, then from $2.99 a month or $69.99 once |
When the browser is enough
If you use one browser, mostly sign in to websites rather than apps, and do not need to store cards, IDs or codes, the browser's saved passwords are a reasonable, free choice. Turn on its password checkup and use unique passwords.
When a password manager is worth it
Once your digital life includes apps, more than one browser, 2FA codes, passports or bank details, a dedicated vault keeps all of it in one encrypted place, with one master password and a recovery plan.
