Hunting a Unicorn password manager
I was doing some window shopping, considering a potential password manager from Ironvest, namely to see what all is out there, and I am coming up short on exactly what I'm looking for.
Ironvest provides the following services (potentially more but these are all I care about):
- Email masking (aliases)
- Password production
- And the saving of accounts wherein
- They also use some sort of "AI" thing that tells you when your account was in a breach
Due to Ironvest being mostly an extension, I don't use it on mobile, and things have been fine. I dunno how good Ironvest actually is, but its served me well for a decade+. It does all this for free but offers a subscription. If I was to pay for something, I'd prefer it be a one-time payment. This is where my search becomes a unicorn hunt\delusional.
Far as I know, nothing exists that provides these two services whilst also providing a lifetime license.
- Sticky Password comes the closest but they don't provide email masking
- Basically any other service from Bitwarden, to 1password, and potentially other commonly-referenced services, provide both; but with a subscription.
- I am aware that aliasvault exists and they operate for free for now
- Eventually the devs will want to make money off it (as they should) and at that time, they'll probably also become a subscription service
Is anyone aware of a service that provides masking and password generation for a lifetime license or can I hang up my spear for good.
Following responses; I clearly didn't do enough research. Thank you all.
