Simply put, you are better off importing passwords from the browser’s vault or even entering all credentials into the vault manually, which is understandably bothersome. Neither toying with the file format and its content nor manually entering the credentials into Trend Micro’s template helped, regardless of the browser we tried with.

For some reason, when we tried to import our existing credentials from a competing password manager into Trend Micro, the software refused to accept the exported file even when it was in the required CSV format.

Sadly, manual imports are downright catastrophic. Thankfully, the software automatically offers to add the extension to your preferred browser and will navigate to the password importing screen, where users can optionally delete all credentials from the browser’s vault after being imported into Trend Micro’s encrypted storage. Speaking of which, fetching passwords is something that Trend Micro Password Manager does a pretty decent job of.

In fact, you need this account to fully access all of the password manager’s functionalities, including the browser add-ons and the option to import and export credentials from other sources. Then there is the fact that it is mandatory to create a Trend Micro account – not to be confused with the vault.

For starters, first time users are required to download an installer onto their desktops, which only contains a shortcut to the online vault and the Windows-only safe browser. Though using Trend Micro isn’t rocket science, the installation process isn’t without its flaws. But even that is somewhat understandable what isn’t, however, is why usernames in the saved logins cannot be modified without deleting them for good. However, restricting the ability to log in via Trend Micro’s secure browser to Windows was definitely not the brightest idea, especially considering the usefulness of this particular feature from a security point of view. The fact that the autologin and form filling options have to be turned on manually within the Settings and that there is no way to safely share passwords with other Trend Micro users is a minor yet unnecessary nuisance. However, despite the fact that Trend Micro is a decent – albeit basic – password manager, it isn’t without its flaws. Interestingly, there is also an option to create an exception list that commands Trend Micro to never save the login when navigating to a specific website. Adding and removing logins is also easy, whether it’s done manually or via the browser extension, and due to your data being synced with the cloud the changes are applied immediately across all devices that the password manager is installed on. For starters, not only can they be searched the same way as secure notes, but there is also the option to create custom folders and organize them the way that you want. However, it’s passwords that are given the best treatment.

With secure notes, all it takes is to put in the relevant information to create a new entry, while with form filling you only need to fill out the boxes in the right subcategories for Trend Micro to be able to automatically insert the necessary data into registration pages – so long as this particular feature is active in the Settings. In fact, the software even properly separates different types of credentials, creating three logical categories for them: passwords, personal data for form filling, and secure notes. Like many of its competitors, Trend Micro Password Manager has a pleasant user interface that has some nice additional touches like the animated diagram on the main screen that displays the number of passwords and how many of them are considered vulnerable. And that is even before mentioned those very customer-friendly prices… Features

Aside from having a straightforward interface – which is a must for all password managers – this tool also boasts a near-perfect browser extension for one-click data importing and form filling, plus it comes with a mobile version that is even better than its desktop counterpart.

But nowadays just providing basic functionality isn’t enough and, thankfully, Trend Micro is way more than a simple vault for storing passwords and other credentials.

So, it isn’t surprising that Trend Micro, a company mostly known for its internet security suites, also has a standalone password manager with all necessary features that these solutions are associated with. But the truth is that antivirus solutions are only part of the equation, which also contains parental control tools, registry cleaners, performance optimizers, and password managers. When the term internet security pops up, most people immediately think of antivirus software.
