About This Guide

Who wrote this, why it exists, and how I keep the lights on.

Who Wrote This

This guide was written by Dan Fries. I've helped dozens of people migrate password managers over the years—friends, family, clients—and I've seen what goes wrong and what makes the process smooth.

I'm not a security researcher. I don't work for any password manager company. I've just done this migration process enough times to know what goes wrong and how to prevent it.

I wrote this guide because I kept explaining the same things over and over. Now I can point people here.

Why This Site Exists

Most password manager content online falls into three categories:

Vendor marketing — "We're the most secure, trust us"
Affiliate review sites — "Top 10 password managers ranked" (written to sell, not help)
Technical documentation — Helpful but assumes you already know what you're doing

None of these help someone who has just decided to switch and is anxious about losing their passwords. That's the gap this site fills.

This guide is:

Migration-focused — I assume you've already decided to leave
Decision-supportive — I help you pick what fits your situation, not what's "best"
Procedural — Step by step, not philosophy
Calm — I acknowledge stress without amplifying it

Affiliate Disclosure

This site contains affiliate links. When you click a link to a password manager and sign up, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What This Means

I get paid if you use my links to sign up for certain password managers
I don't get paid if you don't click my links (direct visits to their sites)
The price you pay is the same either way

What This Doesn't Mean

I don't recommend products because they pay well
I don't hide or downplay products that don't pay me
I don't modify my advice based on commission rates

How I Make Recommendations

Recommendations on this site are based on suitability for specific situations:

What's your use case? (Individual, family, team)
What platforms do you use? (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android)
What's your budget?
What features matter to you?

If a product fits your situation, I'll suggest it—regardless of whether I have an affiliate relationship with them.

What I Don't Do

Sell products directly — This isn't a store
Provide security consulting — This is an information resource
Handle your migration for you — I show you how, you do it
Guarantee outcomes — I provide best-effort guidance
Store your passwords — This is a website, not a password manager

Editorial Independence

This site is independently operated. No password manager company has editorial input or approval over my content.

If a company I partner with does something problematic, I'll update my recommendations. My loyalty is to readers, not advertisers.

I can't provide individual migration help via email (that's what this site is for)

I'll do my best to respond to questions about the guide itself

Privacy

This site uses Google Analytics to understand how people use it (which pages, how long they stay). This helps me improve the guide.

I don't:

Collect your name, email, or personal information (unless you contact me)
Sell data to anyone
Use tracking beyond basic analytics
Show personalized ads

Legal

This site provides information only. It is not professional security advice.

I make no guarantees about:

The accuracy of information (though I try to keep it current)
The security of any password manager mentioned
The success of your migration

You are responsible for your own passwords and security decisions.
