Question 1

Is there a free version of mSecure?

Accepted Answer

No, mSecure is a premium-only password manager. However, you can get a 30-day free trial which lets you access all premium mSecure features.

Despite being a premium-only password manager, mSecure is fairly basic in terms of its features. There are some alternatives like Dashlane and 1Password that offer free trials with lots of advanced features — 2FA, breach monitoring, emergency access, comprehensive password auditing, and more.

Question 2

How secure is mSecure app?

Accepted Answer

mSecure uses industry-standard 256-bit AES encryption to secure passwords. All encryption takes place locally on your device, which makes your account and your saved information very secure from potential threats.

Unfortunately, mSecure doesn’t offer 2FA to add extra layers of security to your account. This means that if your master password is correctly guessed by a hacker, you can potentially lose all of your data and your passwords can get exposed.

While the core mSecure app is pretty secure, it doesn’t offer advanced security for risks that can be averted by 2FA. If you want the best security for your password database, I recommend 1Password instead.

Question 3

Does mSecure generate passwords?

Accepted Answer

Yes, mSecure can generate fairly strong passwords for you. The password generator allows you to choose the length and the type of character you’d like to include in your password. mSecure can also generate word-based passwords, which can have up to 8 very unusual words that are difficult to guess.

One problem with mSecure’s password generator is that it’s only accessible from its main apps. That means you can’t generate passwords within your browser window while you’re changing a password or creating a new account on a website.

But my favorite password manager — 1Password — works great from browsers, allowing you to quickly generate new passwords on the go.
