What is a password manager and why is it useful?
A password manager saves and protects all your login data in one secure place. With it:
- You no longer need to remember dozens of passwords.
- You can generate strong passwords automatically.
- You have easy and safe access from any device.
Among the most popular: NordPass, Bitdefender Password Manager, 1Password or Dashlane.

Frequently asked questions about passwords saved in your phone:
Is it safe to have many passwords saved in your phone?
Yes, it is generally safe because both Android (via Google Manager) and iPhone (via iCloud Keychain) use advanced encryption. However, the security of these saved passwords depends on the method of blocking your screen. If someone finds your phone’s unlock code, they might also have access to the list of passwords saved in your phone. We recommend using biometric authentication (fingerprint or Face ID).
What do I do if I accidentally delete a saved password?
If you use Google Password Manager, you can sometimes check the Google account trash on a desktop, but most of the time, once deleted, these passwords saved in your phone are permanently removed to comply with the safety rules. Our advice is to always have a recovery method (email or phone) set for important accounts.
Can I transfer these saved passwords to my phone to a new device?
Absolutely. If you switch from one Android to another, you just need to log in with the same Google account. If you switch from iPhone to Android (or vice versa), the process is a little more complex and involves exporting a list of saved passwords to a file.CSV from a computer, which you then import into the new manager.
Why don’t all my accounts appear in the list of passwords saved in your phone?
There are two main reasons: either you chose the “Never save” option (Never save) when the browser first asked you, or the respective application (eg some banking applications) prohibits the storage of saved passwords for strict security reasons. You can manually check the “Autofill” (Autofill) settings to ensure that the function is active.
How can I quickly delete all those passwords saved in my phone that I no longer use?
Both on iOS and Android, you can enter the password management menu and use the “Edit” function (Edit) or the trash icon. It is recommended to clean regularly in the list of saved passwords to avoid confusion between old and new accounts.
