Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 18 of the 49 other password managers we grade
Passky is an open-source password manager with desktop apps, an Android app, browser extensions and a web vault. Accounts can live on the maker's public servers or on a server you run yourself. A free plan stores up to 100 passwords; the paid plan removes that limit.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Passky, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Apps to install on each device, and a self-host option for those who want it.
- 1
Best for a free, open-source password manager with a self-host option
It has no iPhone or iPad app, and no business plan beyond bulk keys.
- 2
Paid plans start at $2 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $2 per month, billed annually ($24).
- 3
There is a free plan
Up to 100 stored passwords, software and hardware two-factor sign-in, and the self-host option.
- 4
It runs on 5 platforms
Web, Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Two-factor sign-in
Software authenticator apps and hardware keys such as a YubiKey can both be used for sign-in, and the pricing page lists them under the free plan.
- 6
Import and export
Passwords can be imported from other major password managers and exported again to move to a different one.
- 7
Self-hosting
Passky Server can be run on your own hardware, and the site encourages it over its free public servers.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 18 of 49
That is against the other password managers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Passky 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.

The report card
Best for a free, open-source password manager with a self-host option
Passky is an open-source password manager with a free plan that holds up to 100 passwords and a $2-a-month Premium plan for unlimited. It has no iPhone or iPad app, and no business plan beyond bulk keys.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Premium is $2 a month billed yearly, inside the cheapest quarter of password managers. Bulk is $1.60 for 5 or more keys. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan with hardware and software two-factor sign-in, but capped at 100 passwords, which many people pass. |
| Features | C | Two-factor sign-in, import and export, self-hosting and themes. There's no team plan or sharing named on the pricing page. |

| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and a browser extension. No iPhone or iPad app is listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Passky 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 $24 a year. Passky is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Passky’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.
