## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Steganos Password Manager 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. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 32 of the 49 other password managers grade higher. It costs $33.50 a year.

- You could not: A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- You could not: Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive among them.
