This process is quick and easy and will return you to the web app when you are done. You start out with a free account, which only lets you store 15 passwords, so you should purchase the Premium version. This option is turned on by default but can be switched off. Unlike most password managers, True Key lets you reset your master password, as long as you have one of your trusted devices. Now you need to create an account by entering an email and a master password. You simply need to hit the download link on the True Key website and it will redirect you to download the Chrome, Edge or Firefox extension, and of which will redirect you to the True Key web app. Setup for True Key is relatively simple as there is just a web app and an extension on the desktop, but there are a few oddities along the way. Google Chrome was my primary browser across all platforms but testing on iOS was also done with Safari. On mobile devices, True Key is available for iOS 9.0 and above as well as Android 4.1 and up.įor this review, I used True Key on a 2017 MacBook Pro 15 running Windows 10 and macOS 10.14 Mojave, an iPhone 7 Plus, and a Google Pixel 3. The True Key desktop applications for Mac and Windows seem to have been discontinued. Safari is supported only on iOS, while the new Chromium-based version of Edge uses the Chrome extension. Supported browsers include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and the old version of Microsoft Edge. True Key supports Windows 7 and above, and macOS 10.12 Sierra and up. All your data is encrypted on your device before it's synced with True Key's servers. This lets you create and manage up to 10,000 passwords, sync across all your devices and securely store info in a digital wallet. True Key's premium tier is very inexpensive at just $19.99 per year.

The free tier for True Key is just a teaser, with support for only 15 passwords on a single device. In the meantime, other password managers have surpassed True Key with regard to both password management and multi-factor authentication. True Key seems to have been largely abandoned by McAfee, which is a shame since the few features it does have mostly work well. Unfortunately, as you'll see in our True Key password manager review, little has changed since then. It went through an impressive refresh around 2015, and back then True Key led the pack of best password managers with its clean, easy-to-use design and multi-factor and biometric authentication options. True Key is part of the McAfee suite of products, and it's offered as a selling point to prospective McAfee antivirus customers as well as being a stand-alone service.
