Bitwarden

Bitwarden stores, generates, and autofills strong passwords across all your devices so hackers cannot crack your accounts.

SMB score 9/10/10

Overview

Password reuse and weak passwords are the most common ways small businesses get hacked. Bitwarden fixes that problem at a price most businesses can justify immediately. The free plan covers unlimited devices and unlimited passwords for one user, which already beats what most people do today. The $1.65 per month Premium plan adds an integrated authenticator, file attachments, vault health reports that flag weak and reused passwords, and phishing protection that refuses to autofill on fake lookalike websites. The code is open source and has been reviewed by third-party auditors, so you are not just taking their word that your data is safe. Bitwarden uses zero-knowledge encryption, meaning even Bitwarden cannot see your passwords. For a small business owner who wants real security without hiring an IT team, this tool does the job at a fraction of competitor pricing.
