What this category means
Password managers protect login credentials, reduce account takeover risk and support safer account sharing across teams or families. A password manager securely stores login credentials, generates strong unique passwords, and autofills them across browsers and apps, reducing the password reuse that makes account takeover attacks effective. Business-oriented password managers add team vaults for shared credentials, administrative controls for onboarding and offboarding employees, and increasingly, support for passkeys, which replace passwords with device-based cryptographic authentication.
