Best Password Managers for Chrome

Updated October 2026

How to choose a password manager extension

Six picks generate strong passwords and fill in your logins on their own. KeePassXC-Browser, Passbolt and Psono are different: KeePassXC-Browser needs the KeePassXC desktop app installed and running, Passbolt needs a Passbolt server, and Psono needs a Psono server. authenticator.sh 2FA is not a password manager: it makes one-time 2FA codes and does not store logins. The real differences are price, openness and extras. Decide which of these matters most to you before you install.

• Free plan. Bitwarden and Proton Pass are free, with unlimited passwords or logins on unlimited devices. NordPass and RoboForm have free tiers with paid plans on top. 1Password and Keeper offer a free trial, then paid plans. KeePassXC-Browser is free and talks to the local KeePassXC app, not a cloud service. Passbolt’s free Community Edition is self-hosted; we could not read its paid-plan prices. authenticator.sh 2FA is free to install, per its README.
• Open source. Bitwarden, Proton Pass, KeePassXC-Browser, Passbolt, authenticator.sh 2FA and Psono publish their code, so you can read it. Bitwarden’s client code is public on GitHub, though some code sits under a separate Bitwarden licence. KeePassXC-Browser is GPL v3, Passbolt is AGPL-3.0, authenticator.sh 2FA is MIT and Psono's client is Apache-2.0.
• Passkeys and 2FA. NordPass, RoboForm and Keeper store passkeys. Keeper also stores 2FA codes. authenticator.sh 2FA makes 2FA codes on its own, and can optionally unlock its vault with a passkey.
• Extras. NordPass Premium adds Password Health and a Data Breach Scanner. RoboForm’s free plan is for one device with no sync, and Premium adds sync. Keeper says it holds SOC 2, ISO 27001 and FedRAMP credentials.
• Where your passwords live. With KeePassXC-Browser they stay in a KeePassXC database on your own computer. There is no cloud copy unless you make one, so back up the database file.
• Teams and servers. Passbolt is built for sharing credentials inside a team. It works with a Passbolt server, either self-hosted or managed, so someone has to run or buy one. Psono also needs a Psono server, hosted or self-hosted, and offers encrypted sharing with a team.
• What you can store. 1Password keeps cards, notes and identities. NordPass stores passwords, passkeys, cards and personal notes.

Comparisons and alternatives

• Passbolt vs Psono: two team vaults that both need a server, hosted or self-hosted

Which is the best password manager extension for Chrome?

Bitwarden is the pick if you want a free plan with unlimited passwords and devices. Its client code is public on GitHub, and its free plan needs a free Bitwarden account. TOTP codes, emergency access and file attachments need Premium. Bitwarden lists Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera and other browsers.

If you would rather pay, 1Password has a free trial but no free plan. Keeper’s extension also needs a paid plan or trial.

What is the best free password manager for Chrome?

Bitwarden and Proton Pass both list unlimited logins on unlimited devices on their free plans. Bitwarden keeps TOTP codes and emergency access for Premium, and Proton Pass limits aliases and 2FA items. NordPass’s free plan covers one active device, and RoboForm’s covers one device with no sync. Check each vendor’s current limits.

Which password manager extensions are open source?

Bitwarden, Proton Pass, KeePassXC-Browser, Passbolt, authenticator.sh 2FA and Psono publish their code. Bitwarden’s client code is on GitHub, with some code under a separate licence. Passbolt (AGPL-3.0) and Psono’s client (Apache-2.0) need a server. authenticator.sh 2FA makes 2FA codes, not passwords. The other four picks are not described as open source on their pages.

Which password managers support passkeys?

NordPass, RoboForm and Keeper all store passkeys alongside regular passwords, and Proton Pass lists passkeys on its free plan. Keeper also stores 2FA codes. RoboForm has help pages on passkey storage and passwordless unlock. NordPass stores passkeys on both free and Premium plans. If passkeys matter to you, check the store listing of any other pick first.

Which password manager keeps my passwords on my own computer?

KeePassXC-Browser. Your passwords stay in a KeePassXC database on your computer, and the extension fills them into Chrome. It does nothing on its own: you need KeePassXC 2.3.0 or later installed and running, with browser integration turned on. Back up the database file yourself.

Which password manager is best for businesses and teams?

Keeper is the pick here if you want compliance credentials. Keeper says it holds SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 certifications and is FedRAMP and StateRAMP Authorized. Its extension needs a paid plan or the free trial, and its vault is zero-knowledge and AES-256 encrypted, per Keeper. Ask for the reports if you need them.

If your team can run a server and wants open source, Passbolt is built for sharing credentials inside a team. It needs a Passbolt server, either self-hosted or managed.

Psono is another open-source option for teams. It is only the Chrome client, so you need a Psono server, hosted or self-hosted, and it supports encrypted sharing with a team.

Which password manager can I host myself?

Psono and Passbolt both work with a server. Psono is the Chrome client for a Psono server, hosted or self-hosted, and the client is open source under Apache-2.0. Passbolt needs a Passbolt server, self-hosted or managed. Either way the extension does nothing until the server is set up, so plan that first.

Which extension makes 2FA codes in Chrome?

authenticator.sh 2FA makes time-based one-time codes (TOTP) inside Chrome, with no host permissions, and keeps your accounts in a password-protected vault. Turn the password on before you add any account: with it off, the README says accounts sit in Chrome’s sync storage in the clear, so Chrome copies them to Google. It does not replace a password manager.
