Bitdefender's Wallet feature stores passwords, personal information, and credit card details for use on websites. It also saves passwords for applications and Wi-Fi networks. Wallet has changed very little in the last few versions. It requires a strong master password , separate from your Bitdefender Central password.
It allows the creation of multiple wallets password databases , and lets you choose whether to sync between devices or keep passwords local-only. And it automatically captures login credentials as you type them and replays them as needed. In testing, it managed standard password entry forms but couldn't handle some two-page login systems. Wallet doesn't store as much personal data for web forms as some dedicated password managers, but it correctly filled all the fields that it does store.
When you're signing up for a new account, you can use Wallet's password generator , which defaults to creating character passwords made of letters and numbers.
That's a good default length, but I advise enabling the use of special characters, for even stronger passwords. Wallet completely handles the basics of password management but doesn't go much beyond that.
If you want high-end features like automatic password changing, two-factor authentication, secure sharing of credentials, or handling of password inheritance, you should consider a standalone password manager utility. Bitdefender's many layers of antivirus, web, and network protection keep you, your devices, and your data safe. However, when you connect to the internet your data in transit could be at risk. To ensure privacy for your data, you need a VPN virtual private network.
When you connect using a VPN, nobody, not even the owner of the shady Wi-Fi network you're using, can access your network traffic, and you'll be harder to track as you move across the web. Even the feature-complete Premium VPN required an existing installation of a Bitdefender antivirus or security suite. Please read our full review of the VPN for all details. Premium users can select the VPN server country from a pull-down menu; those at the basic level must accept whatever server the VPN chooses.
Bitdefender includes a Kill Switch feature, meaning that if the VPN connection drops it cuts the unprotected internet connection until the VPN comes back online. Split tunneling means you can exempt certain websites from VPN protection, perhaps sites that are very sensitive to connection speed. You can have the VPN connect automatically at startup, when you log into unsecured Wi-Fi, when you use peer-to-peer sharing, or when you connect with specific apps, domains, or website categories.
Premium users get access to servers especially configured to support streaming and avoid being caught. It boasts 1, servers in 48 countries, with a good global spread. Server locations matter, partly because a bigger collection of locations means more options for spoofing your own location, but mostly because a closer server will usually yield better speed and lower latency.
You won't find an option to change the protocol used by the Bitdefender VPN client to create its encrypted tunnel. We prefer OpenVPN and WireGuard , both of which have the advantage of being open-source and picked over for potential vulnerabilities. A major concern with using a VPN is its impact on your internet connection speeds. Your best bet is to leave all the Autoconnect options turned off, relying on Bitdefender to suggest enabling the VPN when you visit websites in categories like Financial, Online Payments, or Health.
You might also consider Norton Deluxe if you want powerful security that includes VPN protection. However, with Norton you get a full-featured VPN at no extra charge.
Furthermore, Norton is a full security suite, with a firewall, parental control, hosted storage for your online backups, and more. Online security is important even when you're just watching esports online or posting pet pictures, but it's critical when you log in to a financial website.
Bitdefender's Safepay automatically offers protection when it detects you're about to connect with a banking site or other sensitive site. You can tell it to always use Safepay on the site in question, or never use it for that site. Safepay is a desktop all its own, with a hardened browser built in. Processes running in the Safepay desktop have no connection with the regular desktop. Kaspersky's Bank Mode works in much the same way, though it doesn't open a separate desktop.
The Safepay browser's process isolation should protect against any software keylogger or other keystroke-stealing spyware. Going beyond that, a virtual keyboard serves to defeat even hardware keyloggers. It also prevents programs from snapping screenshots to capture sensitive information. In testing, I found SafePay prevented me from getting a screenshot of the desktop. Instead, I had to snap an image from the virtual machine host. I tested Safepay by trying to log into a dozen financial sites, some big, some small.
It shepherded most of them to the protective shield of SafePay. Of course, you're free to open the SafePay browser and navigate to whatever site you want secured. And if you no longer want to automatically open a domain in SafePay, you can just open settings and remove it. The list of features packed into this antivirus just goes on and on. The vulnerability scan feature automatically runs in the background and warns you about missing Windows security updates, missing security patches for popular apps, weak Windows account passwords, and more.
One smart way to protect your most sensitive documents is to encrypt them. After encryption, its essential to securely delete the unsecured original, to avoid even forensic recovery. Bitdefender reserves file encryption technology for its security suite products, but the secure deletion File Shredder is present even in the antivirus. Use it when you really need to eliminate a sensitive file so that nobody, not even the NSA, can recover it.
Sometimes you run into malware so ornery and persistent that even Bitdefender can't remove it. The typical solution in a case like this is to burn a bootable rescue disc, one that runs a non-Windows operating system. Bitdefender does better with its Rescue Environment. You don't have to burn a disc; you just select Rescue Environment and reboot. Windows malware can't defend itself when Windows isn't running.
Bitdefender has long included configuration profiles for different types of activity. Yes No. Great and I like it. Overall Review: Yes. I would recommended. Timothy D. Terry S. Michael D.
