Google Password Manager alternative
A Google Password Manager alternative for passwords, 2FA and documents
Google Password Manager is free and built into Chrome and Android. It stores logins, but not your 2FA codes, passport scans or bank details in one place, and end-to-end encryption is optional. CabinetPass keeps all of it in one vault that only your master password opens, and can still use your Google Drive to sync, encrypted.
Coming soon, free on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android. No account needed.

Why people switch from Google Password Manager
Always end-to-end encrypted
Your vault is encrypted with a key from your master password before it leaves the device. Google only sees ciphertext.
2FA codes and documents together
Live 2FA codes and encrypted files live next to the logins they belong to.
Works the same on Apple devices
Native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac, not just a browser.
Structured items
Cards, bank accounts, identities, Wi-Fi networks and SSH keys, not only usernames and passwords.
Where Google Password Manager is ahead today
- Free and built into Chrome and Android, with passkeys.
- Fills passwords in Chrome on Windows and Linux.

Questions
Is CabinetPass free?
Yes. The free plan has unlimited passwords, cards and notes, 2 GB of encrypted files, 2FA codes, AutoFill, widgets and Google Drive sync, with no trial and no time limit. Pro adds unlimited file storage for $49.99 once or $3.99 a month.
Can Google read my vault if I turn on sync?
No. The vault is encrypted on your device before upload. Google stores an encrypted file in a hidden app folder and never has the key.
What if I forget my master password?
Nobody can recover it, including us. That’s what keeps the vault private. Use a passphrase of five or more random words and keep a written copy somewhere safe.
