Not as many organizational features as other password managers, but I love the search bar and the pop up on the side. Much cleaner and simpler to use.

Aura extension forces me to prove I'm a human with every Google search. As a teacher, this significantly slows down my ability to research information on the fly as class progresses.

Aura chrome extension has been great and super easy to use. I like how password manager makes it easy to share passwords with family and makes sure all my passwords are secure and up to date. Ad blocker feature works great blocking video adds and others. Online security feature notifies me when I visit any malicious web sites. Overall, 5 out of 5.
