    My head is wrecked having to constantly change login passwords when I use my android phone and tablet. I need a password manager that will update across android devices.

    I changed from iOS devices recently and all my passwords are a mess.

    I am hoping for a free one. I feel that the review websites are not exactly impartial.

    Recommendations?

    If I change on my phone does it automatically update on the tablet?

    Should update quick enough once its online. I use last pass myself, pretty handy and simple to use. The have apps / plugins across a range of OSs and browsers.

    Honestly a password manager is the absolute job.

    I use Bitwarden and can recommend, but any reputable one should be fine.

    The one bit of advice which I would give is to make sure you don't store the credentials for the email you signed up to the password manager with in the manager itself. It would be massive pain in the hole you lost access to that email address then!

    Bitwarden or Keypass. Both open source and I use Bitwarden myself.
    Personally I wouldn't use Lastpass

    Lastpass works for app login, not just for web pages

    Have lastpass for years but I think it's going backwards.
    So many times I have to enter fingerprint over and over and manually copy and paste in details cos the app is ****e basically.

    Bitwarden.
    You can even host your own if you want.
