What McAfee True Key is
McAfee True Key is a password manager with free and paid plans. It saves passwords, fills them into apps and websites, and signs users in. A password generator creates long, strong passwords and remembers them. Profiles sync across computers, phones, and tablets, while passwords are stored locally and synchronized with encryption. The security section specifies AES-256 encryption, and sign-in always verifies users with at least two factors. Available factors include a master password, second device, fingerprint, email, trusted device, and Windows Hello on the Microsoft Edge extension. True Key can store credit cards, IDs, passport numbers, and other sensitive information. It supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. The Free plan costs nothing for 15 passwords. Premium costs $19.99 a year, billed annually, for unlimited passwords. McAfee says it does not share or sell user data. Face sign-in is no longer used on Mac or PC.
