Choose note-taking and password-management tools

Choosing storage also means choosing how to use data on another device and how to recover access. Identify the links, attachments or encrypted database information you need to preserve.

Before choosing a task

  1. Compare managing local files yourself with using a hosted vault.
  2. Add a few entries and verify storage, locking and connecting another device.
  3. Before migrating everything, check export formats, forgotten-master-password limits and backup locations.
