You asked. DK answered.

Is a password manager safe?

Reputable ones encrypt your vault so that only your master password can unlock it. Turn on two-factor authentication for extra protection.

What happens if I forget my master password?

It depends on the app. Some offer recovery kits or trusted contacts; others cannot recover it at all. Set up recovery on day one.

Can I share passwords with family?

Most paid plans include shared vaults so family members can access the same logins without texting passwords.

The bottom line

If you only click one: Vaultkey. The best fit for most people: easy on every device, with family sharing that actually gets used.
