Password Manager on Shared Computer

Profile isolation 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 Overall scores stay unpublished (unpublished).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.

Checklist

  1. 1

    Separate OS profiles

    Free

    Each person gets an OS user profile. Do not unlock your vault on a shared guest login.

    • OS profiles separated
    • Screen lock on
    • Vault auto-lock short
  2. 2

    Avoid browser remember on shared profiles

    Free

    Turn off browser password save on shared accounts. Prefer a portable approved vault workflow.

    • Browser save off on shared
    • No master password sticky notes
    • Log out of web vaults
  3. 3

    Lock and timeout

    Free

    Require re-auth often. Disable biometric unlock on devices you do not physically control alone.

    • Short timeout
    • Biometrics off if shared
    • Clear clipboard after fills
  4. 4

    Optional paid leftovers

    Optional paid

    Buy plans for personal devices you control. Shared kiosks are a habit problem first.

    • Name personal devices
    • Skip shared-PC panic kits
    • Read who should not buy before /go/

What this checklist does not cover

  • Safe vault use on hostile kiosks
  • Invented shared-PC malware rates
  • Guaranteed privacy on family PCs

Next steps

Final verdict
