Research standards
We prefer primary sources: provider security documentation, feature pages, support materials, audit references, standards bodies, and public technical documentation. We date product overviews and avoid publishing time-sensitive pricing unless it can be maintained.
What we evaluate
- Encryption and authentication design
- Published security documentation and independent assessments
- Device, browser, passkey, and platform support
- Import, export, recovery, sharing, and offboarding workflows
- Breach and password-health tools
- Fit for individuals, families, small teams, and managed businesses
Hands-on claims
We distinguish a documentation-based overview from a hands-on test. We do not say we used, tested, or preferred a product unless that work actually occurred. When hands-on testing is added, the scope, device, plan, and test date will be identified.
Commercial independence
Affiliate availability and commission rates do not determine our conclusions. A provider cannot buy a ranking. Sponsored content, free access, or other material connections will be disclosed close to the relevant recommendation.
Corrections and updates
Product features change. We review material corrections and update dated content when feasible. Send correction requests with a primary source to info@ismypasswordsecure.com.
