Tiers and pricing
Sticky Password has a a low-cost annual subscription, a lifetime plan, and a free version. Sticky Password
Sticky Password Premium costs $20 annually (regularly $40), making it one of the least-expensive password managers available. Bitwarden’s $10 subscription plan is the only competitor I’ve tried that costs less.
For an even better deal, you can buy a lifetime subscription to Sticky Password Premium for $40 (regularly $200). That makes the lifetime option very enticing. It’s like getting a free subscription to a full-featured password manager after paying for two years.
The free version of Sticky Password comes with a 30-day trial of Premium. It reverts to a free account if you don’t subscribe. Sticky Password Free works on only one device and doesn’t allow login syncing or sharing.
While there are better free password managers, upgrading to Sticky Password Premium is worth the minimal annual cost, and the lifetime plan is a great bargain.
Design
Sticky Password’s Windows app has a clean interface with plenty of options. Digital Trends
Sticky Password’s setup is quite simple thanks to an interactive installer. I was guided to choose several preferences and options during installation. When the app opened, it was ready to use, and my browser logins were automatically imported with no further effort.
The installer let me select offline data storage with local syncing, dark web monitoring, declined to share anonymous, enabled Windows Hello unlocking, and installed the Sticky Password browser extension.
I can sync logins to my iPhone without uploading them with Sticky Password’s local Wi-Fi option. Digital Trends
The app has a tabs on the left to manage my web and app accounts, secure memos, IDs, and more. The sharing tab lets me check on logins I’ve shared, and the security tab alerts me to passwords that are less than ideal.
A menu button at the bottom left lets me manually synchronize across devices, and the time and date of the last sync appears to the right of that control. The main menu at the top right contains import and output controls, settings, help, and more.
The layout is clean and simple, and I had no trouble finding everything easily. The browser extension is a convenient, slimmed down version of the app.
Features
Sticky Password autofills credentials on my favorite accounts. Digital Trends
I opened Netflix, and my login appeared along with two tiny Sticky Password logos to the right of my username and password. Autofill is the most basic feature of a password manager, and it worked as expected.
Sticky Password supports cloud sync so all my devices automatically update when I add, remove, or change any items in my vault. For more security, I opted for offline storage. That meant I need to manually sync from my Windows PC to my iPhone.
With Sticky Password installed on both, that was simple. I selected the sync local option on my computer and chose my iPhone in the pop-up window, and encrypted passwords synced over my home Wi-Fi connection without the risk of uploading that data to the internet.
