Panda Dome Passwords Review 2022

Panda Dome passwords can be used as a standalone program, or in conjunction with Panda’s premium antivirus programs.

Panda does not offer a desktop version, but it is available as a browser extension and mobile app for Android and iOS. It has all the essential features such:

• Encrypted password storage.
• Auto-fill, auto-save.
• Password generator.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA).
• Security status monitoring.

Panda’s password manager is a good choice for basic password management. It also has an intuitive interface that is visually appealing, making it easy to use even for non-technical users.

Panda’s password manager has its downsides. It is confusing to activate a Panda dome Passwords account. There are no extra features like password sharing and emergency access. Panda’s customer service left me with mixed feelings. I received accurate responses almost immediately to some of my inquiries, but not one of them!

Panda’s password manager is available as a standalone app and offers a 1-, 2-, or 3-year subscription. This subscription can be used on unlimited devices. Panda’s premium internet security suites are the best way to get the password manager. This is the best value.

Panda Dome passwords can be purchased separately or as part Panda’s web security suite. All of Panda’s cybersecurity products come with a 30-day guarantee.

Panda Dome Passwords Security Features

Panda Dome passwords have multiple security measures in place to protect your data.

First, Panda’s password manager has an zero-knowledge policy . This means that all information in a user’s account is encrypted with a master password and decrypted using another master password which only the user can see. Panda does not have access to your master password so it is impossible for you to retrieve it if you lose it. It is important to keep a backup of your master password in case you forget it.

Second Panda offers two-factor authentication – to log into your Panda password manager account you will need to enter a random generated one-time code that is sent to you by your phone. This second method authenticates that you are the account’s owner. Even if hackers manage to get hold of your master password, this prevents hackers accessing your account.

Panda’s 2FA only supports a handful of popular authentication apps, such as Google Authenticator and Authy, Duo Mobile and SoundLogin. This may be frustrating for some users. Mobile users have the option to use a PIN code, or fingerprint authentication, to unlock their Panda dome passwords vault. This is much more convenient than entering a master password.

Third, Panda has a “Secure Me”, a feature that logs you out remotely from your Panda Dome Passwords account. This allows you to quickly protect your account in the event of a misplaced or lost device. Secure Me allows you to clear all cookies, log out of any other websites on multiple devices and also delete history and close all tabs.

Panda does not offer backup options to access your password databasein case you lose your master password. However, you can still use your one-time key (which is given when you create a master password) to reset your account. You will still be able to log into your account with the same email address but all of your data will be deleted.

Panda’s inability to recover an account properly makes it less user-friendly than many other password managers. Most password managers have some way for users to access their databases if their master password is lost. LastPass, however, has many account recovery options.

Panda doesn’t specify the encryption it uses for password management. I would be much more comfortable knowing what type of encryption is used. Most password managers state clearly what encryption they use (mostly military-grade 256-bit AES encryption).

Panda Dome Passwords overall is a safe password manager. Although Panda is not very specific about the encryption used and doesn’t offer account recovery like other standalone password managers, it still provides the most important security features, such as a zero-knowledge policy, 2FA, and a multifactor authentication.

Password Database

Panda’s password database lets you store passwords for websites and credit card details. It also allows you to create login identities (combinations such as your name, email address, phone number, etc.).

Panda’s default display displays the list of passwords in your Panda Dome Passwords Database. Click on the icons at the top to switch to your identity details and password generator. You can access the full list of Panda dome Passwords features from the menu in the upper left corner.

Click on the Add account link at the bottom to add new entries.

After I had manually entered my login details for all my accounts, I was able check to see if any passwords were compromised. I did this by running a quick search on HaveIBeenPwned.com. This site has a huge database of passwords and accounts that have been compromised. This option was convenient for me to ensure that my passwords are still secure.

Panda Dome passwords was one thing that I did not like. I was unable store my identity documents in the database. I could use Panda secure notes to write anything I wanted. But password managers like RoboForm and LastPass provide pre-set categories for password management and templates to store a wide variety of data, including passport details, estate plans, WiFi passwords and frequent flyer program details.

Panda’s password database will appeal more to beginners, who don’t really want to store all of their sensitive data in one place, but instead just need an easy and secure way for them to manage passwords and other information they use online.

Overall, Panda’s password database was very easy to use. Each function and category is clearly explained and works as promised. There are so many options that it’s almost impossible to lose.

Password Generator

Panda Dome Passwords’s password maker makes it easy to create strong passwords. It uses lower and higher case letters, numbers and symbols, but it doesn’t offer the option of creating passwords that are simple to remember or read like LastPass.

Panda’s password generator generates default 16-character passwords. This is an excellent number to create strong, unique passwords. It can also generate passwords that are up to 32 characters in length. Panda should be able to generate longer passwords like RoboForm which can create passwords up to 64 characters.

It was also strange to me that Panda’s password manager considers 7-character passwords “strong” Today, most sites won’t accept passwords shorter than 8 characters. Many require more than 10.

Panda’s generator is very user-friendly. It has a “Password History” section that allows you to copy passwords that have been generated, add them into accounts or delete them. This feature can also be used to edit existing entries and create new ones, which I found very convenient.

Overall, Panda’s password generation tool is quite good. Although it has fewer options than other password managers, Panda’s password generator works well and is intuitive. It can also create strong passwords.

Auto-Login, Auto-Fill & Auto-Save

These are Panda’s time-saving tools that eliminate the need to fill out login forms manually and save passwords.

Autologin allows users the ability to log in to websites automatically. However, I was happy to disable it for certain websites like my online banking account that contains sensitive information.

Panda’s auto-fill feature saves time when you log in to websites. If you have a username/password stored in your database, Panda will fill in your login details.

You can also disable auto-fill by changing the settings, just like the auto-login function.

After disabling the auto-fill feature, you will need to click on Panda’s logo in the corner of each field. Then select your details from the list. This adds extra security against keystroke-tracking malware which can steal login details.

Panda Dome Passwords automatically adds passwords to newly created accounts and existing accounts you have used for the first time since installing Panda Dome Passwords. Panda saved my username and password every time I signed in to an account for my first time. It also saved personal information such as my phone number and home address.

You can adjust the auto-save option in your settings. Panda asked me if I wanted to add my account details to the database after I had ticked Ask for identities.

During my testing, Panda’s autologin, fill, and save features performed well. Panda does not automatically enable auto-login by default. This gives users more control over their account details. Panda makes it easy to adjust the auto-fill or auto-save settings for extra security.

Security Report

Panda’s Security Report allows you to quickly assess the security of your Panda account, as well as any passwords stored there. Alerts are sent to you if your passwords or other personal information are compromised.

The report was run on my Panda password database. I was very pleased with the results.

Panda’s Security Report checks

• Strength of the Master Password.
• 2FA settings.
• Old passwords, weak, duplicate or outdated
• Passwords and login credentials stolen or compromised

Panda’s Security Report has one major advantage: it provides a quick overview about your security status. Although it isn’t as detailed as LastPass’s Security Challenge, or 1Password Watchtower , Panda’s Security Report contains all the information you need to protect your online accounts.

Overall, I was very pleased with the feature. Even non-tech-savvy users without a lot of experience with password managers would understand the Security Report and be able make necessary changes to their Panda account to protect it and all their passwords.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Panda Dome Passwords’ 2FA security feature allows you to use an authenticator app for generating codes that are required for logging in to your account. Panda’s password manager supports mobile fingerprint logins.

Panda doesn’t offer a 2FA code generator like Dashlane, which has an integrated 2FA generator that can be accessed from all connected devices.

Panda’s password management supports four major authentication apps – Google Authenticator (Authy), Duo Mobile (Duo Mobile), and SoundLogin.

This feature was easy to find when I tested it.

Once I had scanned the QR code, I was able to enter the 6-digit code generated from the app.

Panda’s password manager only supports 4 authentication apps, which is far less than other password managers like LastPass or Dashlane. However, Panda’s 2FA option was very easy to set-up.

It’s also convenient to be able to enable fingerprint authentication and set up a 4-digit pin code when creating a Panda Passwords account. Both options are extremely convenient since you don’t need your master password to log in.

I would like to see more authentication options. However, I think Panda’s 2FA compatibility and fingerprint authentication with most authenticator apps is sufficient for most users.

Panda Dome Passwords Plans and Pricing

Panda’s password manger is available both as a standalone application and as part a premium internet security suite.

Overall, I feel that Panda’s standalone password manger and the internet security suites which come with it are both very reasonably priced and offer a lot.

Panda is an excellent password manager for those who are not technical and only need the basic features.

Panda does not currently offer a free trial to its password manager. Panda’s premium internet protection packages and the standalone password manger plan both offer a 30-day refund guarantee.

Standalone App: Panda Dome Passwords

Panda’s password manager is available as a standalone program.

• Unlimited password storage.
• Unlimited devices.
• Chrome and Firefox browser extensions.
• Mobile App for iOS and Android.
• Subscriptions for 1-year, 2-year or 3-years.

This plan is for a single user who has multiple devices.

Panda Dome passwords are priced similarly to premium password managers such as LastPass.

LastPass Premium has many more advanced features, including password auto-change, emergency access, and password sharing. Panda does not have any of these.

Panda Dome passwords, however, is an excellent choice if you don’t care about advanced features but want an intuitive and secure app with simple-to-use features.

Internet Security Suite: Panda Complete + Premium

Panda’s password manager can also be purchased as part of Panda Internet Security Suite. It is available in 1-year, 2-year or 3-year subscriptions for 1, 3, 5, 10, or unlimited devices.

Panda’s Complete package also includes Panda Dome passwords

• Antivirus.
• Firewall.
• VPN (limited at 150 MB/day).
• Wi Fi network protection.
• Parental controls.
• Identity protection.
• Clean-up tool.

Panda’s Premium Package includes all of the features of the Comprehensive plan plus:

• Premium VPN with unlimited data
• Update manager.
• 24/7 support.

For users looking for more than a password manager, it makes sense to buy Panda Dome Security Passwords in a security package.

You get more value if you purchase Panda Dome passwords with Panda Complete and Premium packages, than if it is a standalone password manager app. Panda offers a 30-day guarantee that covers all purchases.

Panda Dome Passwords Ease of Use and Setup

Panda’s password manager was purchased as an individual program, and not as part Panda’s premium antivirus package. I therefore needed to set up an account online with Panda. I received 3 emails with instructions to set up the account. However, I was still having trouble with Panda Dome passwords.

The Activate passwords button at the bottom my Panda account screen was the one I found most awkward. Although this step was not required to enter my Activation Code it was essential for me to use my Panda Dome Passwords account.

Inadvertently, I skipped the activate passwords step. Panda allowed me to download and install the password manager browser extension and set up my master password. Panda wouldn’t allow me to log in after that and I wasn’t told to go back and activate the account.

The account activation took about 2 minutes after I found and clicked the Activate passwords button. My experience with Panda DOME Passwords was much more seamless, and I was able quickly to start using the app.

The welcome screen of Panda is a great idea. It has a list of major websites that I can choose from, making it very easy for me to add passwords.

Panda’s interface has a simple, intuitive design. You can access all of the main functions by simply tapping on the icons in the top panel. You can also access the rest of its features by clicking the menu in the upper left corner.

Panda Dome passwords allows you to import data from over 10 programs. Although the number of import options available is good, 1Password and Dashlane offer more options. Panda’s import function worked well for me when I tested it. I was able to import passwords from my LastPass databank without any problems.

You have the option of saving your Panda data to a password protected file when exporting it. Panda provides this option. You can also protect your exported passwords in case you need to move your data to another password manager. This is a better option than lower-tier password manager that export passwords only using an unsecure CSV file which could be accessed easily by anyone.

Overall, the Panda dome Passwords interface is very intuitive. If you make a mistake, you won’t have access to your Panda Passwords account.

It is easy to set-up your Panada Dome passwords account after activating it. Panda is an intuitive option that works for both technical users and non-technical people.

Panda Dome Passwords Mobile App

Panda Dome passwords’s Mobile app is available for iOS and Android.

The display of the mobile app is almost identical to that of the desktop web browser extension. The majority of features are in the same place. There may be minor differences depending on how large your smartphone is.

The Add account button in the Android app for my tablet was located in the top right corner of the screen, not at the bottom as in the browser extension or iOS app. The interface and features of the Android app remain unchanged.

Only thing that is different about iOS is the inability to disable or enable website auto-login. It is also unclear how to fix this issue so I had to contact email support, who finally helped me with a workaround.

It was frustrating to figure out how to set the auto-fill function in iOS. Many password managers also have similar problems with iOS, but most of them offer the solution. Password Boss’s mobile application includes a video tutorial that shows you how to change the Safari settings to enable this feature. It would be fantastic if Panda did something like that.

Overall, I like the fact that Panda Dome Passwords uses a nearly identical interface for both the mobile app as well as the browser extension. This ensures that there is no confusion.

Panda Dome Passwords Customer Support

Panda provides the following customer support options.

• Panda’s Support Articles
• Forum support.
• Email support.

A few articles are listed in the support section on Panda’s website about Panda Dome passwords.

Panda’s forum also has very little activity in recent months. Most of its topics are older than a few months. There are sections dedicated to different Panda security products. However, there is no section for Panda Dome passwords, which can be a bit irritating.

So I went straight to email support.

I filled out the form on the website to email Panda. The form required a lot of information. The “number not recognised” error message kept appearing in the customer reference number field. Fortunately, it can be supplied as an optional field.

Each inquiry I sent was confirmed by an email stating that someone would be in touch with me within a short time. It was difficult to determine the average time Panda took to respond by email. It took me between a few hours and over 24 hours, and one of my questions never got answered.

Panda’s email support was very prompt in responding to my questions. As an example, I received a link to a Lifewire article to answer one of my questions. Although the article was informative, I was annoyed that customer service told me where to find answers instead of answering my question.

Panda has fewer customer support channels that other password managers. Although most companies don’t offer phone support, many have at least one support channel. Enpass, for example, has an active forum. 1Password also has a Twitter support account and a forum.

Panda was quick and efficient in processing the money-back request. The refund was sent to my account within two hours.

Overall, Panda’s customer service is average. The email support was helpful and I was able quickly to get my money back.

Is Panda Dome Passwords Worth Trying Out?

Panda’s password manager is intuitive and well-designed. It also has a good range of functions, including auto-login and auto-fill. They all work well.

It also supports two-factor authentication and a zero-knowledge policy. The program monitors your security status and notifies you if any passwords have been compromised so that you can change them quickly before hackers steal your data.

Panda Dome passwords does not have many of the extra features found in standalone password managers. Panda is missing premium plans from LastPass, Dashlane and LastPass that include secure sharing, emergency access and automatic password changes.

Panda Dome Passwords, on the other hand is cheaper than most competitors. If you purchase this password manager with Panda dome Premiumpackage you will get a complete internet security suite that includes a password manager.

Panda’s password manager, while not the most advanced or feature-rich, is still a good, simple-to-use tool. It includes all necessary features to manage passwords and personal information. Although it may not have as many features or be as sophisticated as other brands, Panda Dome passwords is a decent, easy-to-use tool that includes all the essential features for managing passwords and personal details.

Does Panda’s password manager have a free version?

No. Panda Dome Passwords doesn’t offer a free version. LastPass or Dashlane offer a free standalone password manager.

Panda Dome Passwords is available as part of Panda dome Complete or Premium plans.

Panda does not offer a 30-day free trial of its password manager. However, Panda offers a risk-free 30 day trial that is backed by a 30-day money back guarantee.

Is Panda Dome Passwords safe to use?

Yes. Panda’s password manager secures your data using a master password that is only known to you. Panda offers two-factor authentication (2FA), which provides additional protection for your account. Panda offers the “Secure Me”, which allows remote access to your account from any device.

Panda doesn’t reveal the encryption used by its password manager. Panda’s antivirus suite does include an encryption feature that uses Microsoft BitLocker technology. This encryption uses either AES 128 bit or 256 bit encryption. We can therefore assume that Panda’s password management also uses high-level encryption.

What happens if I lose the master password to my Panda Dome Passwords account?

You can get a one-time code from the Panda recovery kit if you have lost your master password. A new recovery code is generated each time you change your master passcode.

This recovery code is only for the same email address that you used to sign in to your account. You will need to start over again as all information in your password database is still deleted.

LastPass is a password manager that allows you to recover multiple accounts without having to delete your password database.

Does Panda Dome Passwords come with a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Panda Dome passwords has a 30-day money back guarantee. You can test the standalone password manager on any of your devices for free for 30 days.

Panda offers a 30-day money back guarantee on all its antivirus packages including Panda Dome premium – which also includes Panda Dome Passwords.

After testing Panda Dome passwords, I asked for a refund. My request was processed within one day by Panda and I received my full refund 2 days later.
