Password Manager for Freelancers

Client vault separation before suite logos: SecurityChecklist keeps this draft free-first and claim-safe. Optional paid cards use claim-ledger prices from 2026-08-09 (NordPass Premium from $1.39/mo on a 2-year USD plan; 1Password Individual $2.99/mo billed annually). Overall scores stay unpublished (unpublished). Who should not buy: anyone who still reuses passwords on email without MFA, anyone who will not memorize or securely store a master secret, or anyone who needs a published overall score before deciding.

Direct verdict

Password Manager for Freelancers: finish free controls first, then consider paid tools only for a leftover job you can name. Product scores stay unpublished (N/Pub) until signed test records exist.

Unpublished

Priority checklist

  1. Separate personal and client collections
  2. Use unique passwords per client admin panel
  3. Share credentials with official vault sharing only
  4. Offboard shares when contracts end
  5. Paid plans only for seat/sync leftovers you name

Ledger-verified starting prices show below when captured; otherwise cards stay confirm-live or pending. Overall scores stay unpublished (N/Pub). Never invent dollar amounts.

    • Personal vs client split
    • Unique admin passwords
    • No spreadsheet dumps
  2. 2

    Share formally

    Free

    When clients need access, use vault sharing or their SSO. Never paste passwords into Slack without a burn plan.

    • Official share links
    • Expiry when offered
    • MFA on shared admin accounts
  3. 3

    Offboard on exit

    • Revoke shares
    • Rotate critical passwords
    • Handoff note stored
