ExpressVPN is introducing a useful privacy tool for its users, a password manager, ExpressVPN Keys.
A password manager is software that helps businesses and individuals store, organize, and manage their passwords. Password managers remember passwords but can also generate new passwords and even act as 2FA managers.
Integrated into the existing ExpressVPN app, the password manager will allow for password storage, biometric verification, import and export options, and autofill for favorite websites. Users will also benefit from ExpressVPN’s expertise in security and encryption, with two-factor authentication and a strong recovery method for forgotten passwords.
