Keep mSecure, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace mSecure you would be making a password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $19.92 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- Passkeys, which rest on security you cannot improvise.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- End-to-end encryption done properly.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. mSecure’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is mSecure?
mSecure stores passwords, passkeys, cards and documents in an encrypted vault that syncs through mSecure Cloud, Dropbox, iCloud or Wi-Fi. Version 7 added passkey storage and built-in one-time codes. The vendor says it uses AES-256 and a zero-knowledge design, so the company cannot read vault contents.
