Reviews & Comments of MYKI Password Manager & Authenticator chrome extension

This was once an excellent and innovative password manager, which stored passwords across your own devices, rather than in the cloud. Sadly it's been deprecated since April 2022 and should really be taken down. The code is not maintained and the original app is no longer available. If you persist you'll find pirate versions which, I suggest, you won't wish to use. More here => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myki_(password_manager)

I didn't find the app that is required at the installation

Best password manager, beats all of the others in functionality and security and price Lovethe Scan to authorize with phone App rather than entering a master PWD. SAD TO SEE IT GO! Testing other PWD managers and they are all lacking compared to MYKI Please let me know if it is ever resurrected under JumpCloud I will happily pay for it and recommend it to all!!

Amazing extension, until the Jumpcloud team decided to acquire the whole team for its tech and shut down servers. Annoying.

I downloaded extension but a popup said they were bought and they're discontinuing product in April 2022.

very good

I use this application extension since 30 days , so far so good ! I love it . But be patient it takes time to learn the nuts & bolts of it ... And than it become easy & smooth as silk ! and as the other reviewers mentioned the biggest advantage is that all your passwords are stored on your phone . Very good job from the development team ! keep up the good work . I use it on 2 computers and several browser . It is very nice they support Firefox and Chrome . I would suggest you include Opera browser extension in the pack ! I love to create my own passwords , so this gives you some feeling of independence and self reliance. On other hand login on the computer after you having the app is very easy ! On windows 10 system there is option to login even without a phone , which is very nice and user friendly !

Can't connect to the myki software in Arch Linux. The software do open when trying to connect but nothing happen.

How can I enable the auto 2fa once I type the username and password it should be the 2fa is automatic copied. right?

I love Myki! It has been my password manager for a couple months now and I'm loving it! Rating the extension only 4 star because it has some trouble running on vivaldi, hope it will get better in the future!

Not working well with the vivaldi browser, the extension is hidden whenever clicked. In chrome the auto-login click might prevent you from choosing the login alternative in certain pages with multiple login options Other than that it works well

Why Myki is better! Decentralized is important! Other competitors offer centralized services. What does this mean? Your passwords are stored on their central servers, with thousands or perhaps millions of other users' credentials. If there is a data breach, yours and everyone else's encrypted credentials are likely to be stolen. With Myki, your passwords are stored only on your devices and only shared/synced between the devices that you link together. If there is a data breach on someone else's devices, the breach will be isolated to their own account and not spread to anyone else. The idea here is to have at least two devices to share your passwords between. Such as a computer and a phone. So, if you lose one device, you won't lose your credentials and can easily restore all of them from your backup device. There is no additional work required to sync your devices, simply use them as you would normally and Myki will do all of the work to sync your devices and update your credentials in the background. I can't recommend this product enough. It's completely free and it works great! Thanks Myki for the great product!

I do love this app and it's browser extension, but giving it 4 stars because there is some issue that I found and hope they can address it in someway. 1. ​When you pair your phone with the browser, the browser will be able to see all of the items in your vaults even if you marked it as "Not Trusted Device". - I hope there is an option to hide the list of items when you mark it as "Not Trusted Device" for better privacy. 2. Desktop App only using pin for Authentication and it is not enough - Mobile App has fingerprint, Desktop App need to be more secure. It holding the entire password vault and the pin alone is not enough. - Please give us some 2FA options. 3. Browser extension may need some more way to support updating password. - I don't mean anything fancy, but something like the tool allow us to let it know we are updating this gmail account with this new password with some simple click, it also then redirect us to gmail so we can change the password, when we finished updating the password on gmail website, it will automatically update the item on the vault. - Right now the tool does try to capture the new password but it is not really work well because certain website return back some weird username, password and url and it messing up the tool. Beside that, the tool is amazing and work flawlessly. One of the best free, offline password management out there.

Love their concept. However, this is not a open source service and may eventually make their useful features premium. Therefore, at the end, free users will have to transfer/move their bag and baggage to elsewhere similar to LastPass and 1password case.

It's super convenient. Well designed. The password generator is easily accessible. Lots of configuration options, I only have positive things to say about it. Came from LastPass and never looked back.

Best one I've used to date. Syncs perfectly across my devices. I miss being able to place them into separate folders. (this is what the paid version probably does, not sure) The only issue I see (though this might be as designed, Hopefully someone could confirm ) is every website I visit I have to reload the Brave extension (it's just a button click so not too worried) before it will display the myki logo on the sites user/password login.

Hands down the best password manager available. (My) Pros: * Secure - I don't doubt things like LastPass are secure, but offline storage is a big plus. * Autofill - The autofill just works * 2FA - The two factor authentication just works as well. * Syncing - You can't notice that it's p2p as it syncs really well (My) Cons: * Glitchy - Some sites are glitchy, rare, but it happens.

The UI is awful and mostly prevents me from writing in usernames and passwords. Needs a more subtle approach rather than just poorly lobbing itself onto every login.

MYKI is fantastic as a whole. However if I focus on Chrome extension, it is not working as expected. Everytime I restart my PC, the extension require me to authenticate with either the desktop app or mobile app. It's cumbersome to do the same thing again and again. Also, on some site such as cloud.cisco.com password filling is not working. It ends up login failure, and letting me use chrome-embedded password manager.

Browser extension won't pair with latest versions of both Firefox and Chromium. When I try to scan QR code it just says "Something went wrong please try again".

Could be good, but it does not connect to mac desktop app on big sur, and it makes it useless, because approving passwords on ios app is such a long pointless mess

Why would you remove the popout to new window button in the update? Do you hate QoL?

Jumped ship from LastPass following their decision to severely reduce their free tier options. After using Myki thus far, I am only disappointed that I didn't switch earlier. The interface is absolutely gorgeous without disrupting the functionality, and the actual functionality (looking at you, autofill and autologin) is, you know, actually functional. If a Lifetime membership is ever offered, I will gladly buy it. *wink wink*

I am disappointed. I successfully downloaded 100 pwds from my previous manager but despite the import saying it had loaded 32, there are none listed in the password manager. What am I doing wrong?

I really liked the idea of the features of Myki, which made it stand out from other password managers, but the absolute dealbreaker is that this extension takes over auto-fill for EVERYTHING: payment methods and addresses included. This wouldn't be so bad if the "Identity" feature actually worked by auto-filling addresses correctly, but basic forms for addresses on multiple pages filled mismatched values. It's still listed as experimental, so please give me the option to continue to use Chrome autofill for addresses and credit cards. Not allowing me to use Chrome autofill for addresses and credit cards (like the LastPass extension allows) is what killed Myki completely for me. Shoot me an email when this is fixed and I'd come back.

Works great except for two things. Importing data from Lastpass is crude: You have to export from Lastpass, import to Myki, and throw away some of the fields. Second, The Auto Lock setting seems to have no effect: Regardless of how it's set I have to reenter my PIN with each use. But for these two things, would have been a five star review.

Awesome extension!

Super convenient and nice to use except for a few instances. Randomly it says I don't have internet even though I'm browsing the internet just fine. This makes the app unusable which is pretty rough. Often shows the Allow Access pop up twice when loading the app for some reason.

Chromebooks and Chrome are treated as second class citizens. I got a new phone... which broke my other phone, to the point the backup button stopped working, phone number verification took 20 tries to work, pairing devices was broken. Rename this password eraser. Will not save passwords in Chrome. My browser is secure. My Browser is my computer. Yes I want my passwords saved and backed up in Chrome.

All my adult site passwords in one place, 5 Stars

Most secure & Convenient. Probably the best password manager out there. Install the Myki app only on your phone (base installation). On desktops, install the browser extensions only. Backup your database (.Myki files) regularly on your phone. There's an option: Backup Items. Just keep your Myki files on two separate pen drives and keep those drives somewhere you feel safe. That will be fine! PS: It supersedes Keepass forks because of the modern approach to security. It's the modern KeepassXC with added convenience and reduced security risks. The only issue, it's not open source.

Best Password Manager

The best password manager!

This is the best app I have ever used.

I really wanted this to work. I've sent them bug emails and videos of problems happening across Windows, Mac and Chrome on both platforms. I have all of my passwords in this app (because I really like the premise), but if I can't access them, what's the use? For example, The Chrome Extension needs to be unlocked. I click on UNLOCK and wait for the prompt on my phone (which pushes to my Apple Watch). BTW, I love that I can just click GRANT on the Apple Watch. Most times it comes up and I click on GRANT, but other times the phone just doesn't respond to the request. I've rebooted everything, checked to make sure I'm on the most up to date versions. Nothing. Like right now.. it's critical that I gain access to about 8 sites to support a client, and Myki won't supply the password and 2FA because it's still locked. And the phone won't approve it. So then I have to spend 30 minutes trying to reboot everything until Myki finally responds. It sounds like a GREAT platform, just has a great many more bugs to work out.

Poor design because person is unable to create account or use software without registering with a phone number.

This is the best of its kind. Excellent.

This wouldn't logon to certain sites (Desktop version w/Chrome). I find it non-intuitive because it "watches" you logon and tries to mimic it, with mixed results. It's more straightforward to just use auto-type in something like KeePass (open source, fully local). This is true at least on a desktop PC where mouse actions are easier than phone gestures. In general, apps that work "behind the scenes" and require an email address or phone number to use don't inspire confidence, even if they seem simple on the surface. That said, if Myki was able to actually work on the above-mentioned sites I'd keep trying it. It could also use something stronger than a 6-digit PIN.

Very useful app! Thanks!!!

quite buggy and takes so much resources that makes the browser very slow.

It's a good option and the 2FA feature is something I'm excited about. My one complaint (and I'll upgrade this review if this can be turned off) is that every single time I use the app to log into a website on my computer, I have to authorize the login attempt on my phone. This is a serious pain in the posterior to do for every single website I try to log into. I can't find anywhere in the settings to turn this off. If this can be turned off, I believe it will become my go-to password manager app. But if I have to keep approving logins on my phone for every single site I try to log into on my computer, I'll just go back to LastPass.

I tested Lastpass, Dashlane, 1Password and settled on Myki, since about 1.5 years, right after they announced at TechCrunch. Now I'm going to test the 'restore' feature I'm currently down/offline as I write this and I'm waiting for Support. In the past the team was always immediately right there, great and responsive. Also I loved the videos. Anyway the backup and restore features I've been thinking about and I've back up on my computer (which seems almost as bad as having them in a hosted cloud). Anyway fingers crossed all goes as well as the past few years.

Used this for about a year now and honestly have found it to be a life saver. For one it's free to use (for just regular users), stores your 2FA codes and auto-fills them, auto-fills and generates passwords for whatever you need and more. It has password checkups reminding you that you've used a password for a lot of websites and showing the insecurity of specific passwords as well. One feature I would like to see is either more robust auto-filling as one some (very few) sites it can fail to auto-fill, or custom auto-fill procedures, ie, you select which field which data goes in for a specific account and the order/timing for that.

looks good. just installed it. interface is nice. unable to import correctly from my previous manager. will edit if i succeed.

I added Myki to Chrome along with Dashlane. So far I depend on Dashlane as my go to password manager. However, I do think that Myki will some day be my password manager. The only reason I have not rated the program higher is the lack of a user manual. There are a lot of questions that I have not found answers for. I suspect that a very comprehensive manual will be available some day. I hope so anyway.....

awesome work here, but it is so annoying every times i have to grant access to a new login form. i really hate it

I think it is the best password manager I have tried. Regarding the extension please add more features such as the security dashboard from the mobile app.

I have been using MyKi for a while now and it is, conceptually, good. Implementation is buggy. The extension often requires mobile authentication for passwords or notes even if browser is set as 'Trusted', new browsers are set as 'Backup' by default and disconnect from Mobile app works once every 10 attempts. I bought pro pack to support the team but bugs are dragging me away towards more stable services.

Very useful app

Best Password manager app, It keeps my passwords away from the cloud! Plus the design is so neat :D

I have now been using this tool for over a year. The one thing that i know for sure that it is definitely, hands down the best password manager out there. I have used LastPass, Dashlane and 1Password for the past 10 years on and off and none of these tools gave me the piece of mind that Myki offers me. The things that i love about this product are the following: - My passwords are stored offline (vs cloud) which is great because its as if i am using keepass without the huge limitations and 90's interface. - Myki manages my two-factor authentication tokens and even auto-fills them in my browser. This is a unique feature that non of Myki's competitors have (should have) and it is made possible because of the offline nature of the application. - The user interface and experience is amazing which is something that i do not easily grant to apps. The team really works hard on making every new addition look beautiful and fit perfectly with the rest of the app. - The in-app chat support feature is fantastic! I have had some minor issues in the past year which have all been addressed by the team via the chat in a matter of minutes. They are responsive and enjoyable to talk to. - The enterprise version of the product is the best team password manager on the market. The features are just so unique. You can do whatever you can do in other enterprise password managers with the addition of geolocation based security policies and the fact that ALL of your enterprise secrets remain stored offline across enterprise devices (vs cloud). - The consumer version is FREE. The things that i am waiting for Myki to release which will really make it the undisputed #1 are the following: - iPad app (team told me to expect it in early September) - support for hostnames - Mac, Windows and Linux apps (not necessary but a nice addition) I consider Myki to be the best app on my smartphone and encourage anyone to test it out. If you have any issue with it, the best thing about the product is the ability to directly talk to the team via the chat feature in the app.

the backup process is a bit scary - without physically moving the backups from your phone to your PC, a lost phone could be a disaster.

I'm using this for a while and this tool is great.

U have to download an app and it's not very helpful. THIS APP WAS TRASH.... (>_<)

LOVED the new redesign of the extension, and the new features you guys added. Thanks to them I can design the right experience for my password management. Really thank you for all the work and your dedication to offering the world a completely *free* password manager. Simply the best.

Very useful app and extension!!

In love with it

I am blown away by this, extremely happy with it! I highly recommend it!

I like the app extension. Future development will only make this smarter and better.

works very good

I Am having an issue where it wants to "update my account" every time I log into a website? Anything I can do to mitigate this?

The best, most secure, password extension I have ever used.

Great experience so far. Those that dont understand that the point is not to remove the "painstaking" process of pushing buttons on a keyboard, rather so you can incorporate stronger passwords into you online accounts without having to memorize them. Needing your phone to login ads an extra layer of security, almost like 2fa on all of your stored logins in the event that your computer is stolen. Keep it up.

Logins frequently take 20+ seconds and sometimes never work even after pressing resend (for the phone authentication over and over and accepting on the phone). Failed implementation of a good idea.

Its so buggy, sites still don't recognize the autofill code feature on the ios app. The resend option doesnt work half the time and sits there waiting forever for this code to come through on your phone? It's faster to just punch in the 2FA code manually then wait???

I don't understand how this makes it easier to sign into websites on your computer. Not only do you have to click on the bug icon to activate it, you have to then pick up and unlock your phone, pull down the notification bar, click approve in the notification and then put down the phone and start using the website on you computer. To make this useful, all you should have to do login is swipe the computer's fingerprint reader. One step, nothing else. BTW: Why was the logo taken from a Journey Album Cover?

Finally a useful extension

Amazing!
