Detaljne stručne recenzije
I spent several weeks testing Sticky Password’s security, features, and ease of use — I wanted to find out if Sticky Password really is one of the best password managers in 2021.
Sticky Password offers high-security features, like:
- 256-bit AES encryption.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA).
- Local Wi-Fi sync option.
I really like that Sticky Password is so easy to use, even for users without any previous experience — I found it very simple to securely share passwords, auto-fill web forms, store secure notes, and save bookmarks.
And I was really impressed with Sticky Password’s “Portable USB Password Manager” feature, which allowed me to load a portable version of Sticky Password onto a USB flash drive and access all of my passwords and other data on any PC!
On the other hand, I can’t say I like Sticky Password’s interface — it’s pretty outdated, and it can get a bit confusing. I also want to see Sticky Password add more advanced features which top competitors like Dashlane and Keeper offer, including dark web monitoring, secure file storage, and emergency access, and also change the identity information features to include more up-to-date options, like Zoom ID and Slack usernames.
Overall, Sticky Password has all the password management basics covered, and it also includes a couple of really useful extra features. It’s a good, cost-effective password manager for users needing something secure, simple, and easy to use.
Sticky Password Security Features
Sticky Password is compatible with all of the major operating systems — it works on both Windows and Mac and has apps for both Android and iOS. Sticky Password can also be used with a huge range of web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and many less well-known browsers, like Seamonkey and Comodo Dragon — which is a lot more than most other password managers offer!
Sticky Password uses industry-standard 256-bit AES encryption to secure all user passwords, logins, and other data — this type of encryption is also used by governments and banks.
Sticky Password also offers several data synchronization options, including cloud sync and Wi-Fi-only sync. Cloud sync is very safe, encrypting all data before syncing it across devices. However, Wi-Fi-only sync ensures data is only transported directly between devices via a trusted Wi-Fi network, giving advanced users an extra level of security and control over how their data is managed.
Sticky Password also ensures that no one can access the data stored in a user’s Sticky Password vault — except for the person who has the master password (not even Sticky Password’s development team can access a user’s password vault).
And Sticky Password also lets users enable 2FA. This feature adds an extra layer of security to your Sticky Password account by asking you to input a randomly generated code along with your master password to access your data. To be able to use 2FA, users need to install Google Authenticator.
Overall, Sticky Password is very secure, with a lot of different options to protect user data as well as unique features like Wi-Fi-only sync and compatibility with 15+ different browsers.
Password Manager
Sticky Password has two separate tabs to store passwords — Web Accounts and App Accounts. The Web Accounts tab stores logins for online accounts, and the App Accounts tab stores logins for the apps and programs on your PC (Windows only).
When testing Sticky Password, I really liked that I could separate my app and online passwords, so I didn’t have to spend time scrolling through all of my logins to find a particular one. I also had the option to group passwords into specific folders to make password management easier.
I also thought it was really cool that I could click Launch next to each login, which instantly opened the app or website I clicked on and automatically logged me in — something other brands like 1Password don’t offer.
I also found it very easy to manually add new passwords to the Sticky Password vault. Still, I preferred using the Sticky Password browser extension to autosave logins — the browser extension offered to save my username and passwords every time I logged into a web account for the first time.
Sticky Password also made it simple for me to save multiple logins for the same site. I have 4 different Gmail logins for different purposes, and Sticky Password asked me each time which one I’d like to use before auto-filling my login details.
As for the password generator, I liked that I could make my passwords up to 99 characters long, choosing special characters, numbers, symbols, and more. 
Overall, I think Sticky Password’s essential password management features are pretty good — the password manager generates strong passwords, saving and accessing logins is simple, and the auto-filling function is very accurate.
I think I prefer 1Password’s storage options which let you create multiple password vaults for different purposes, such as work logins, travel documents, shared family logins, and more.
That said, Sticky Password still does a good job at organizing passwords, and I like that it makes finding and accessing passwords for my apps and online accounts easy.
Identities
Sticky Password’s Identities feature allows users to store personal details, like names, date of birth, home address, credit card information, and more.
Adding my identity and other personal information was pretty straightforward. I could add my personal details manually, or I could create and save new identities after using the browser extension to fill out web forms.
After inputting my personal details, I tested the Identities feature on a range of web forms, including insurance comparison sites, tax preparation sites, and vehicle registration sites.
Sticky Password actually saved me a huge amount of time filling out complex forms — it managed to fill in most of my details, leaving me with only a few things to enter manually, like my car’s vehicle identification number.
I think RoboForm is much better for adding identities and filling out web forms, as it offers more data input options and location-based templates. But I like Sticky Password’s Identities feature — it’s simple to use, and it fills out most fields even on very advanced web forms.
I think Sticky Password needs to update this feature’s “internet identity” fields, which include options for MSN and Skype, but not newer online platforms like Zoom, Microsoft teams, Slack, and others.
That said, Sticky Password’s Identities feature is good enough for most user’s needs — and in my testing, it functioned exceptionally well across all kinds of complex web forms.
Secure Password Sharing
Sticky Password makes it very easy to share logins and passwords with other Sticky Password users.
I tested this feature by sending my girlfriend one of my logins. As soon as I shared the login with her, she received an email from Sticky Password with instructions on installing the Sticky Password app and creating an account so she could access the shared login.
As shown in the screenshot above, I could either choose:
- Limited rights. Users can only use the password — they can’t edit it, share it, or revoke your access to the password.
- Full rights. Users can edit, share, and revoke your access to the shared password — they have the same rights as you.
Sticky Password’s sharing feature is useful, but it’s not as advanced as other password managers’s sharing features — Dashlane, for example, also enables users to share secure notes and files with multiple users at once. I would also like to see Sticky Password offer a function to conceal passwords, like LastPass does, so recipients can use shared passwords without seeing what the actual password is.
Sticky Password doesn’t allow file or note sharing, which is a bit disappointing for a premium password manager. But Sticky Password’s sharing feature is easy to use, it enables you to securely share passwords with other users, and you get to decide the permission level of those users.
Synchronization Options
Sticky Password has both a cloud and local Wi-Fi sync option.
The cloud option is secured by 256-bit AES encryption — so it’s very safe to upload and sync your data using this method.
However, more advanced users may not want their information stored on a third-party cloud server. This is why the Wi-Fi sync option is useful — it lets you sync data between devices using your own Wi-Fi connection, so your data is never stored by anyone other than you.
During my tests, it took quite a bit of time to connect my devices using the Wi-Fi sync option. I clicked on Sync – local on the bottom left corner of the PC app, opened the Sticky Password app on my iPhone, and clicked Sync to connect the devices. I then had to enter the provided PIN code and click Sync on the PC app to transfer my data between the devices.
Sticky Password is one of the only password managers to offer a local Wi-Fi sync feature — which gives users an extra level of control over how their data is stored and managed. While having the option to use Wi-Fi sync is great for some users, I’m content with the security and convenience of Sticky Password’s cloud sync option — which doesn’t require me to manually connect my devices to sync them. However, the Wi-Fi sync is a great option for security-conscious users.
Portable USB Password Manager
The portable USB password manager feature enables users to install a portable version of Sticky Password on a USB flash drive — accessing all of their Sticky Password data on another PC.
Most other password managers don’t offer this feature, so I was excited to try it. However, it’s important to keep in mind that this feature is only available for Windows computers (not Macs).
The portable version of Sticky Password was very easy for me to set up. I clicked on Portable Passwords in the menu tab, inserted my flash drive, and clicked Create to begin the installation process. After 30 seconds, the whole process was completed.
I was then able to insert my flash drive into my computer at work and open Sticky Password, with all of my passwords included — which was very useful, as I didn’t need to download Sticky Password onto every new PC that I was using.
When I reconnected my USB flash drive to my PC, all the newly saved passwords were synced between my PC version of Sticky Password and my portable USB version. This made it really simple to keep both versions of Sticky Password updated with my latest passwords, notes, and other data.
I love Sticky Password’s Portable USB Password Manager — it’s perfect if you’re studying in libraries or working in an office, as you can always have access to your data on a USB flash drive, even if the PC you’re using doesn’t have Sticky Password installed.
Other Features
Sticky Password also includes additional features such as:
- Secure memos.
- Bookmark storage.
- Password security dashboard.
I really like Sticky Password’s bookmark storage — it encrypts and syncs bookmarks so you can access your favorite sites on all of your devices.
I also think the password security dashboard — which shows old, reused, and weak passwords — is good. However, there’s no dark web monitoring feature which is included in many of the best password managers, including Dashlane and Keeper.
The Secure Memos feature didn’t allow me to attach files with my notes — something that is also included with competing password managers, like Dashlane and LastPass.
Sticky Password is also missing other important features like file storage, emergency access, and advanced MFA options.
While Sticky Password doesn’t have a lot of the features included in some other premium password managers, I still think it’s a good option, especially for non-tech-savvy users who are looking for a simple password manager without a ton of extras.
Sticky Password Plans and Pricing
Sticky Password has a free plan, a premium plan (available as a yearly or lifetime subscription), and a plan for teams.
The free plan is pretty good — although there are better free password managers on the market.
Sticky Password Free comes with a 30-day free trial of the premium plan. And Sticky Password Premium is a pretty good value — it’s a low-cost password manager with a decent range of features.
And while there’s no “family” plan, Sticky Password Teams is a fairly inexpensive multi-user plan, but there are better multi-user plans offered by the competition, including 1Password (which has both a Families plan and a Teams plan).
All Sticky Password purchases come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there’s plenty of time to try Sticky Password and see if it’s the best password manager for you.
While I prefer more feature-rich password managers, like Dashlane and LastPass, Sticky Password Premium is a good option for beginner users looking for an easy-to-use, affordable password manager.
Sticky Password Free — Decent Range of Features
Sticky Password Free includes:
- Unlimited password storage.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA).
- Password generator.
- Automatic form-filling capabilities.
- Payment details storage.
- Secure notes.
- Portable USB Password Manager (Windows only).
I was happy to find that the Portable USB Password Manager feature — probably my favorite Sticky Password feature — is included in Sticky Password’s Free plan.
However, Sticky Password Free does not include a data sync option, so you can only use it on one device.
While I prefer LastPass’s free version — as it can be used on an unlimited number of devices — Sticky Password Free is a strong contender and should be considered if you’re looking for an easy-to-use password manager with a decent set of features. And it comes with a 30-day free trial of Sticky Password Premium.
Sticky Password Premium — Most Feature-Rich Plan
Sticky Password Premium has all of the features mentioned in the Free plan, plus:
- Password sharing.
- Cloud and local Wi-Fi synchronization.
- Cloud data backup.
Sticky Password Premium is billed annually, and there’s also a reasonably priced lifetime subscription. While it’s not as feature-rich as competitors like Dashlane and Keeper, Sticky Password is pretty inexpensive. Plus, Sticky Password is one of the rare password managers to offer a one-time subscription.
And there’s also the added bonus of supporting endangered Manatees — Sticky Password donates a portion of every Premium license sale to charities that protect manatees (a once-endangered marine mammal)!
Sticky Password’s Premium plan has a good set of features — it’s a good option for non-technical users looking for a secure password manager with all of the essential password management features and a couple of cool extras like Wi-Fi sync.
Sticky Password Teams — Decent Option for Business Users
Sticky Password Teams has the same features as Sticky Password Premium, plus extra functions like:
- Giving guest access to shared accounts.
- Setting different edit and sharing permissions for all users.
Sticky Password Teams can be used as a family or a business plan. But it is very expensive compared to some competing brands’ multi-user plans, including 1Password Teams.
Sticky Password Teams has a 30-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Sticky Password Ease of Use and Setup
Sticky Password is very easy to use. I had no trouble installing and setting up Sticky Password, although I think the desktop app’s user interface needs updating (it’s pretty crowded).
I found Sticky Password’s features simple to understand — but when I was getting started, I had to spend some time on Sticky Password’s FAQ page to find how certain features worked.
For example, using the Wi-Fi sync option was a bit tricky at first. I had to ensure both the PC and mobile app were open with Wi-Fi sync turned on, and then I had to wait for my PC to connect to my mobile. After waiting for some time (and constantly clicking Refresh on the PC app), I was given a PIN code to enter into my phone.
Finally, my devices were connected and my data was synced across pretty quickly. Overall, it was a pretty long-winded process. In comparison, synchronizing my data using the cloud sync option was easy — all I had to do was enable cloud sync on the PC app and on the mobile app, and all the data was automatically transferred.
The browser extension was a bit difficult to set up — I had to navigate to the settings of my Sticky Password desktop app to be redirected to the extension installation page, as opposed to simply downloading it from the Chrome Web Store (like with the best password managers for Chrome).
That said, the browser extension was easy for me to use and understand once I had it installed. It made saving and auto-filling my passwords and logins easy. When I used the browser extension on Chrome, it offered to save or input my login credentials any time I wanted to sign into an online account.
The browser extension also offered to save my personal information as a new identity entry when filling in web forms. I also liked the This Website feature that let me view or change credentials for each site I was on.
Sharing passwords is also simple — even if the recipient doesn’t yet have a Sticky Password account. However, I would like to see Sticky Password add an option to share secure notes like most other premium password managers do, including Dashlane.
I was surprised at how quick and easy the Portable USB Password Manager feature was to set up. I plugged in my USB flash drive, followed the instructions, and the installation process completed within a matter of seconds. When I got to my work computer, I plugged in my flash drive, opened the Sticky Password app, entered my master password, and had instant access to all of my data.
I do feel that Sticky Password needs to slightly improve the desktop app to show first-time users how to use certain features, like the Wi-Fi sync option. But overall, Sticky Password is easy to set up and it doesn’t have a huge learning curve, making it a really good option for beginners.
Sticky Password Mobile App
Sticky Password has an iOS and an Android app — and both versions are very similar in terms of features.
The iOS and Android app both include:
- Password manager.
- Password generator.
- Auto-fill capabilities.
- Identity and payment card details storage.
- Secure notes.
- Cloud and Wi-Fi sync options.
- Sticky Browser.
All of Sticky Password’s mobile features are as easy to use as Sticky Password’s PC app. The user interface on both the iOS and Android version is clean and simple, and I found it very easy to add new passwords, payment card details, personal information, notes, and sync my data.
While all of Sticky Password’s features work great on mobile, my favorite is Sticky Browser — a secure web browser that makes it very simple to auto-fill passwords, identities, and payment details.
Sticky Password’s mobile app is simple, easy to navigate, and offers most of the essential features included in the PC app. However, I prefer the user interface on the LastPass mobile app — which is even easier to navigate and has many more features, including a password security feature.
Overall, Sticky Password’s mobile app is pretty good, especially if you’re looking for a simple, no-frills password manager.
Sticky Password Customer Support
Sticky Password has limited support options.
There’s an FAQ page on their website and an email support option for Premium users. My experience with Sticky Password’s email support was pretty good. I asked a variety of questions, and while the customer support team could’ve been more responsive, I was happy with the answers I received — they were concise and to-the-point, exactly what I like! I received all the answers to my questions in less than 24 hours — most email support teams typically take a full day to respond, so I was happy with Sticky Password’s response time.
Sticky Password offers support in English, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Czech, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, and Japanese, which is a lot more than other password managers offer.
Sticky Password’s FAQ page is really good — it’s divided into several sections (General, Installation, Getting Started, Mobile, Tips & Tricks…), and each section is packed with popular questions. All of the explanations in the FAQs are very clear and easy to follow (and a lot of them have screenshots and images), so I was able to resolve any issues within a couple of minutes instead of waiting for an email response.
Overall, I think Sticky Password’s customer support options are good. I’d prefer it if Sticky Password offered live chat support so I could’ve gotten answers to complex issues quickly. However, the email support is responsive and answered my question concisely, and I found the FAQ page to be really useful.
Is Sticky Password the best password manager in 2021?
I really like Sticky Password — it’s secure, easy to use, and has a good range of features.
Sticky Password uses industry-standard 256-bit AES encryption to make sure all user data is safe, and it offers a range of additional security features, like two-factor authentication and a Wi-Fi only sync option.
Sticky Password’s desktop app and browser extension are both very easy to understand and navigate. I found it very simple to generate and save new passwords as well as auto-fill logins and complex web forms.
I’m also a huge fan of Sticky Password’s Portable USB Password Manager feature. If you need a password manager that can be accessed across a wide variety of PCs, such as a work office PC or a college library computer, Sticky Password is a great option.
However, there are a few drawbacks to Sticky Password. It lacks an emergency access feature, secure file storage, and dark web monitoring tools — something most premium password managers include, such as Dashlane and Keeper.
I also feel that certain features could be improved upon, including the password sharing function — which is limited and doesn’t allow for notes or file sharing. If you’re looking for a more advanced password manager that includes features like emergency access, secure file storage, or dark web monitoring tools, you should look elsewhere.
But if you’re looking for a convenient and secure password manager that’s easy to understand and use, Sticky Password is definitely a good choice.
