Passa review
Passa pairs a free local vault with inexpensive Pro tools for desktop browsers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Passa is a browser extension password manager aimed at professionals and solo operators who want credentials stored in an encrypted local vault, with browser autofill and password generation. It also supports TOTP codes, imports, folders, search and encrypted sync through Google Drive or Dropbox. The free plan includes unlimited passwords, sync and TOTP storage for up to three entries, making it a practical starting point for people whose needs fit desktop browsers and a relatively focused feature set.
Its pricing gives buyers several ways to add Pro features. Pro Monthly costs $1.99 per month; Pro Annual is $0.99 per month billed annually. Both add use on all desktop browsers, unlimited TOTP storage and autofill, a security dashboard, Secure Notes, and conflict review and merge. Lifetime Pro costs $29 once and includes Pro Annual features, future Pro password manager updates and an exportable vault. That makes the annual and lifetime options worth comparing for buyers who expect to use monitoring or notes; the free tier covers core password storage and syncing without them.
Platform fit is the main caveat. Passa is presented as a desktop browser extension, and no mobile extension is offered. Its product description names Chrome, Edge and Firefox, but install information describes Chrome and Edge as coming soon, while Firefox has a live Mozilla Add-ons listing. Buyers should check availability for their browser before choosing it, especially if they need a consistent extension across browsers today. Passa suits individuals who prioritize an inexpensive desktop vault with encrypted cloud sync; those who need a mobile extension or verified availability across their preferred browsers should consider another option.
