What is a password manager?
A password manager is a secure way to store the username and password for your online accounts in an encrypted digital vault. The password manager stores and automatically fills in your details when you sign in to websites and apps. Signing in becomes as easy as a click.
Note: Keys is being rolled out gradually and may not be accessible to all users immediately.
How a password manager works
Password managers like ExpressVPN Keys can create and remember strong passwords for all your online accounts—and then fill them for you when you sign in.
All your logins are encrypted in a secure password vault using your primary password—the only password you’ll need to remember—and synced across your devices, ready to use whenever you need them.
Why you need to use a password manager
Creating and remembering passwords for all your accounts is a hassle, which is why many people use (and reuse) weak passwords. The risk is that this leaves your accounts vulnerable to data breaches and hacks.
Using a password manager makes your online life easier, faster, and more secure because ExpressVPN Keys can generate long, complex passwords that are safer against brute-force attacks.
What makes the password manager safe?
ExpressVPN Keys uses zero-knowledge encryption to keep your data private. You’re the only one who can see your passwords.
That’s because only you know the primary password used to encrypt all the logins stored in the password manager. So even if there’s a breach in our secure servers, your data is protected.
ExpressVPN Keys was built by the same security experts behind our industry-leading VPN and blazing-fast Lightway VPN protocol. Like our VPN, the password manager is secure by design and puts you in control of your data.
ExpressVPN Keys was also independently audited by cybersecurity firm Cure53 to ensure its security across all platforms—iOS, Android, and the Keys Chrome extension.

FAQ: Password managers
How do password managers generate strong passwords?
Password managers like ExpressVPN Keys use encryption algorithms to create random, unique, and complex passwords, making them hard for attackers to crack or guess.
Should you store your passwords in your browser?
Saving your passwords in your browsers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Opera may be convenient, but it’s not secure. For one thing, anyone using your devices can access your passwords. Your saved passwords could be compromised if a web browser is hacked or infected with malware.
A secure password manager like ExpressVPN Keys is a better, safer way to store and protect your passwords and importing your saved passwords from your browsers is easy.
How can password managers protect my personal information?
Using a secure password manager like ExpressVPN Keys means you can generate long, complex passwords for all your online accounts, which the password manager will store and fill for you. This makes all your online accounts safer and harder to crack.
The security of the password manager you use is also paramount to protecting your personal information. ExpressVPN Keys, for example, uses zero-knowledge encryption which ensures that only you can see your decrypted logins—the password management provider has no access to them. You also want to pick a password manager that has been independently audited as this validates its security beyond internal testing.
Can I use a web browser to manage my passwords and login information?
Yes, just install the ExpressVPN Keys Chrome extension (which also works for other Chromium browsers such as Edge, Opera, Brave, and Vivaldi) to securely access and manage your saved passwords on your computer.
How do I see my saved passwords?
To see your saved passwords on your mobile, open the ExpressVPN app for Android or iOS, tap Keys, and unlock the password manager using your primary password or biometrics.
To see your saved passwords on your computer, click on the ExpressVPN Keys browser extension icon and enter your primary password to unlock your password manager.
What are password best practices?
Examples of password best practices include:
Never sharing your passwords with others
Use a different password for every online account
Avoid easy-to-guess passwords
Don’t include personal information like your name, birthday, or family member’s details
Use long passwords that are hard to guess or crack (but easy to remember)
Don’t save your password online somewhere that can be hacked
Check sites like Have I Been Pwned to see if your passwords have been compromised in a data breach
Use a password manager so you can store and generate long, complex passwords for every account, and fill them easily and quickly
