User reviews

ExpressVPN Keys Chrome extension offers improved security over browser password managers and useful insights on password reuse and breaches, integrated with ExpressVPN service. However, users frequently report bugs, especially after VPN app updates, leading to malfunction and loss of autofill functionality. Many find the login and account setup confusing and unreliable. Customer support is generally seen as unresponsive. Additionally, it lacks several features commonly found in dedicated password managers. The extension also depends on the VPN app running, limiting flexibility. Overall, users express disappointment and frustration despite the potential benefits.
Pros
  • Improved security compared to built-in browser password managers.
  • Integration with ExpressVPN service offers a bundled deal.
  • Provides helpful information on reused passwords and those found in data breaches.
  • Extension displays red key icons in login fields to facilitate autofill (when working).
Cons
  • Frequent bugs causing the extension to malfunction or stop working after ExpressVPN app updates.
  • No autofill feature or removal of autofill leading to inconvenient workflows.
  • Confusing and unreliable login and account creation process, sometimes forcing setup of new accounts.
  • Poor customer support, including ineffective live chat and slow/no responses.
  • Lacks features compared to other password managers, making it less competitive.
  • Restriction to use only when the ExpressVPN client is running; no standalone web app access.

This review is from a recent post who perfectly described a problem I've been having for a LONG time. For the past year, when I click the Keys icon in my browser, half the time instead of opening the login window, it will open up a new tab and direct me to set up Keys for the first time (I've had Keys for about two or more years). It's as if it got uninstalled, but it is installed. From a previous poster: "I had an issue for some time where the keys browser extension would work perfectly well on my desktop (win 10), but be fully non-functional on my laptop (win 11) using the same chrome based browser. I could install the extension, but every time I clicked it, it would just direct me to the expressvpn homepage, instead of allowing me to log in to see my keys. No matter what 'sign in' I did on the expressvpn homepage, it would just continue to direct me there. I discovered that the issue lied in the companion expressvpn app that was installed on my laptop being v. 12.95 - and it was NOT prompting me that there was an update available. I checked the version available from the expressvpn homepage (https://www.expressvpn.com/latest#windows), which was v. 12.98, downloaded that - and now i works fully again - including the on-screen red key labels you can press on login fields and password fields to readily load login info into those fields. I would strongly recommended people having issues to manually check their expressvpn version, and if need to - update/reinstall that!"

I've been an Express VPN subscriber for a long time; it's a great VPN. Lately, I've been checking out password managers, as my wife and I have probably 200 passwords for every imaginable website: financial accounts, medical patient portals, forums, professional sites, etc. etc. We use about 5 passwords for all of these sites; it's the only way to manage them. But after reading these recent reviews, I won't be using ExpressVPN Keys. In fact, now I'm thinking about going to another VPN, as a company's quality in one product is usually reflected in its other products. This 2.4 rating just took me totally by suprise. Sorry.
