**Password managers** allow you to securely store and manage passwords and other credentials with the use of a master password.

[Uitleg over wachtwoorden :material-arrow-right-drop-circle:](basics/passwords-overview.md)

<div class="admonition info" markdown>
<p class="admonition-title">Info</p>

Ingebouwde wachtwoord managers in software zoals browsers en besturingssystemen zijn soms niet zo goed als speciale software voor wachtwoordbeheer. The advantage of a built-in password manager is good integration with the software, but it can often be very simple and lack privacy and security features that standalone offerings have.

For example, the password manager in Microsoft Edge doesn't offer end-to-end encryption at all. Google's password manager has [optional](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/11350823) E2EE, and [Apple's](https://support.apple.com/HT202303) offers E2EE by default.

</div>

## Cloud-gebaseerd

Deze wachtwoordbeheerders synchroniseren jouw wachtwoorden met een cloudserver voor gemakkelijke toegang vanaf al jouw apparaten en veiligheid tegen verlies van apparaten.

### Bitwarden

<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>

![Bitwarden logo](assets/img/password-management/bitwarden.svg){ align=right }

**Bitwarden** is a free and open-source password and passkey manager. Het is gericht op het oplossen van problemen op het gebied van wachtwoordbeheer voor individuen, teams en bedrijfsorganisaties. Bitwarden is een van de makkelijkste en veiligste oplossingen om al jouw logins en wachtwoorden op te slaan terwijl ze gemakkelijk gesynchroniseerd blijven tussen al jouw apparaten.

</div>

Bitwarden uses [PBKDF2](https://bitwarden.com/help/kdf-algorithms/#pbkdf2) as its key derivation function (KDF) algorithm by default. It also offers [Argon2](https://bitwarden.com/help/kdf-algorithms/#argon2id), which is more secure, as an alternative. You can change your account's KDF algorithm in the web vault:

- [x] Select **Settings → Security → Keys → KDF algorithm → Argon2id**

Bitwarden's server-side code is [open source](https://github.com/bitwarden/server), so if you don't want to use the Bitwarden cloud, you can easily host your own Bitwarden sync server.

### Proton Pass

<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>

![Proton Pass logo](assets/img/password-management/protonpass.svg){ align=right }

**Proton Pass** is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted password manager developed by Proton, the team behind [Proton Mail](email.md#proton-mail). It securely stores your login credentials, generates unique email aliases, and supports and stores passkeys.

</div>

With the acquisition of SimpleLogin in April 2022, Proton has offered a "hide-my-email" feature that lets you create 10 aliases (free plan) or unlimited aliases (paid plans).

The Proton Pass mobile apps and browser extension underwent an audit performed by Cure53 throughout May and June 2023. The security analysis company concluded:

> Proton Pass apps and components leave a rather positive impression in terms of security.

All issues were addressed and fixed shortly after the [report](https://res.cloudinary.com/dbulfrlrz/images/v1707561557/wp-pme/Cure53-proton-pass-20230717/Cure53-proton-pass-20230717.pdf).

Traditionally, 1Password has offered the best password manager user experience for people using macOS and iOS; however, it has now achieved feature parity across all platforms. 1Password's clients boast many features geared towards families and less technical people, such as an intuitive UI for ease-of-use and navigation, as well as advanced functionality. Notably, nearly every feature of 1Password is available within its native mobile or desktop clients.

Uw 1Password-kluis is beveiligd met zowel jouw hoofdwachtwoord als een gerandomiseerde beveiligingssleutel van 34 tekens om jouw gegevens op hun servers te versleutelen. Deze beveiligingssleutel voegt een beschermingslaag toe aan jouw gegevens omdat jouw gegevens worden beveiligd met een hoge entropie, ongeacht jouw hoofdwachtwoord. Veel andere oplossingen voor wachtwoordbeheer zijn volledig afhankelijk van de sterkte van jouw hoofdwachtwoord om jouw gegevens te beveiligen.

### Psono

<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>

![Psono logo](assets/img/password-management/psono.svg){ align=right }

**Psono** is een gratis en open-source wachtwoordmanager uit Duitsland, met een focus op wachtwoordbeheer voor teams. Psono ondersteunt het veilig delen van wachtwoorden, bestanden, bladwijzers en e-mails. Alle geheimen worden beschermd door een hoofdwachtwoord.

### Criteria

**Wij zijn niet verbonden aan de projecten die wij aanbevelen.** Naast [onze standaardcriteria](about/criteria.md)hebben wij een duidelijke reeks eisen ontwikkeld om objectieve aanbevelingen te kunnen doen. Wij stellen voor dat je jezelf vertrouwd maakt met deze lijst voordat je een project kiest, en jouw eigen onderzoek uitvoert om er zeker van te zijn dat je de juiste keuze maakt.

#### Minimale vereisten

- Moet gebruik maken van sterke, op standaarden gebaseerde/moderne E2EE.
- Moet beschikken over grondig gedocumenteerde encryptie- en beveiligingspraktijken.
- Must have a published audit from a reputable, independent third party.
- Alle niet-essentiële telemetrie moet optioneel zijn.
- Mag niet meer PII verzamelen dan nodig is voor factureringsdoeleinden.

#### Beste geval

Onze best-case criteria geven aan wat wij zouden willen zien van het perfecte project in deze categorie. Het is mogelijk dat onze aanbevelingen geen of niet alle functies bevatten, maar degene die dat wel doen kunnen hoger gerangschikt worden dan andere op deze pagina.

- Telemetrie moet opt-in zijn (standaard uitgeschakeld) of helemaal niet worden verzameld.
- Should be open source and reasonably self-hostable.

## Lokale opslag

Met deze opties kunt je een versleutelde wachtwoorddatabase lokaal beheren.

### KeePassXC

KeePassXC slaat zijn exportgegevens op als [CSV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) bestanden. You may encounter data loss if you import this file into another password manager. Wij adviseren je om elke registratie handmatig te controleren.

### KeePassDX (Android)

<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>
