PASSKEYS & PASSWORDLESS LOGIN Safe password manager fully supports passkeys—the future of secure authentication. Store passkeys alongside traditional passwords and sync passkeys across all your devices. BUILT-IN AUTHENTICATOR Generate TOTP verification codes for two-factor authentication directly in Safe.

Verdict

The call

Password Manager and mSecure both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Password Manager's written reviews are positive against 62% of mSecure's. Password Manager also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.6). mSecure's advantage is ratings volume (51K vs 2.7K) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
