What the models actually said.
The ranking is the answer; these are the words behind it. Every quote is from a recorded model answer — follow the category to read it whole.
1Password
1Password — best overall for most people: its excellent day-to-day experience, mature cross-platform support, published security design, regular independent review, and an additional 128-bit Secret Key that materially strengthens vault protection make it my default paid recommendation.
ChatGPT
RoboForm
RoboForm — credible, but no longer my first pick: it remains a long-running, capable manager with documented security architecture and strong form-filling, but 1Password, Bitwarden, Proton Pass, and Dashlane are stronger recommendations for a new buyer today.
ChatGPT
1Password
1Password — Best overall paid choice: it has the most polished everyday experience across platforms, excellent family/team sharing and autofill, broad passkey support, and its extra Secret Key adds meaningful protection beyond the account password.
ChatGPT
RoboForm
RoboForm — Best for people who care most about form filling: its mature one-click login and identity/form-filling capabilities remain excellent, and it now supports passkey-based account protection, but its overall interface and ecosystem feel less modern than the leaders.
