How to use weighted criteria to pick between four European options
passwordmanager.eu does not rank vendors on a single “best password manager” headline. It asks how your organisation trades off six dimensions—then scores four European-oriented products: Hypervault, Heylogin, Uniqkey, and Passbolt.
The six weights
- Cost: budget sensitivity and pricing model fit
- Europe / data privacy: hosting, sovereignty, and transfer posture
- User-friendliness: adoption risk for mixed teams
- Compliance & audit: evidence for regulated environments
- IT / DevOps integration: APIs, on-prem, CI/CD
- Security: passwordless, hardware MFA, architecture depth
How to answer honestly
Pick the sliders that reflect next year’s reality, not a perfect security programme. If you are mid-migration from a US tool, weight EU hosting higher.
What to do with the result
Use the primary recommendation as a shortlist of one, then run a pilot. Keep the secondary match as a backup if procurement or SSO tests fail.
