MyPassLock Password Manager Review

Type of Password Manager

MyPassLock is a locally installed password manager that you download to your computer. It enables you to record all of your passwords for all of your accounts in a secure database that you can lock with a single button. It's a much more secure alternative for those who typically keep their passwords written down on a sheet of paper and because it keeps track of all of your passwords for you, it can help you create more challenging and varied passwords that help keep your accounts more secure. It only works on a single device, though, so it's not ideal for accounts you frequently access from multiple devices.

Platforms

MyPassLock is compatible with Windows 7, 8 and 10, but Mac and Linux users will have to choose a different password manager. There's also no mobile app so it's not ideal for accounts or apps you access from your phone, but if you primarily use a PC, MyPassLock will suit your needs just fine.

Features

MyPassLock is designed as a centralized database where you can store your passwords for later retrieval if you forget. Once you've entered in your password and account login information, you can organize them into folders. For example, you could have one folder for credit card account logins and another for email accounts. There's also a search tool to help you quickly locate misplaced account information.

It also includes a Lock Workspace feature, which enables you to quickly lock your MyPassLock account with the press of a button. This is ideal if you share your computer with other users. Your MyPassLock account also requires its own username and password to ensure that others who use your computer can't gain unauthorized access to your account passwords.

Those who struggle to create strong passwords will appreciate MyPassLock's Password Strength Analyzer tool, which helps you assess the strength of your current passwords and gives suggestions on how you can improve their strength to prevent your account from hackers.

Plan Details

You can try MyPassLock for free to see if it's a good fit for you and if it is, you can purchase the full version.

The company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you cancel within this time period, MyPassLock will refund all of your money.

Support

Few users have issues with MyPassLock, but if you do, you can contact the company by phone or live chat for prompt support. It doesn't have any online resources or help articles, but MyPassLock is pretty straightforward to use, so most customers won't notice this omission.
