Our verdict
Avira Password Manager fits people who want a vault at no cost, with authenticator codes in the same app and coverage across desktop, mobile, web and browsers. It is run by Avira Holding GmbH in Germany, and stored credentials use 256-bit encryption, bank-grade, so the free plan is a practical starting point.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The free plan is included, and the pricing model is listed as free
- Coverage spans Windows, macOS and Android across desktop, mobile, web and browser extensions
- Authenticator codes sit in the same app, listed under totp
- Support runs through email, phone and help centre, which includes both phone and email
Cons
- The feature list rests on totp, which names authenticator codes and little else
- The stated security audit covers AV-TEST and AV-Comparatives certifications for antivirus products only, so the password manager sits outside it
Who it suits
- People who want password storage plus two-factor codes and never intend to pay
- Windows, macOS, Android and iOS users who also work in the listed browsers
- People who value phone and email support alongside a help centre and a community
Who should look elsewhere
- Apple Inc., whose iOS, iPadOS and macOS keep the vault inside the Apple ecosystem, away from Windows and Android
- ESET Brasil, whose Windows, Windows Server and macOS add Windows Server for buyers covering servers
- Total Password, which has no free plan, so a paid subscription is needed from the start

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free version of Avira Password Manager?+
Yes. A free plan is included, and the pricing model is listed as free, so there is nothing to pay at the start. Free models account for 74.6% of the brands listed, which makes this a common route into the category.
How are stored passwords protected?+
Avira states 256-bit encryption, bank-grade for the password manager, which is the protection applied to stored credentials. The service comes from Avira Holding GmbH in Germany, so the contract is with a named German company.
Can it hold two-factor codes as well as logins?+
Yes. Authenticator support is part of the feature set listed under totp, so time-based codes can be kept next to saved logins. That removes the need for a separate authenticator app for those accounts.
Which platforms and browsers are supported?+
The listed platforms are Windows, macOS and Android, covering desktop on Windows and macOS, mobile on Android and iOS, a web dashboard, and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera. The web dashboard means the vault is reachable through a browser too.
What support can I get?+
Support runs through email, phone and help centre, so email and phone sit alongside a help centre and a community board. A help centre is the most common support route across the brands listed, at 95.4%.
Who runs the service?+
The service is provided by Avira Holding GmbH, which is registered in Germany. That makes the counterparty a named German company, and the same vendor publishes the antivirus products that carry the test certifications.
Where does it sit on price?+
Across the password managers listed, the median starting price is €6.84, and 72.3% of brands offer a free plan. Avira Password Manager sits in that free-plan group, so entry pricing is not the deciding factor.
