1Password is one of the best-known password managers, and it can hold passport and licence details too. DigiSafe is built only for documents. Here is where each one fits.
A real moment
“You already keep your passwords in 1Password, and someone suggests putting your passport and PAN scans there too. You wonder whether a password manager is the right home for a pile of papers.”
1Password is a paid password manager, from $2.99 a month on a yearly promotion after a 14-day trial, with passport and licence templates, expiry alerts and 1 GB for files. DigiSafe is a free document vault: it scans papers, reads their numbers, masks Aadhaar, and shares copies with links that stop on their own.
Which one is for you
Pick DigiSafe
Use DigiSafe for the papers themselves: scans, bills, certificates and the copies you share with offices.
Pick 1Password
Use 1Password for passwords, logins and the key details of your IDs, with alerts before they expire.
They work well together: passwords and ID details in 1Password, the scanned papers in DigiSafe.

1Password is a great password manager
1Password keeps everything end-to-end encrypted, works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and the major browsers, and has templates for passports, driver's licences and other IDs. Its Watchtower alerts you to passports expiring within 10 months and licences within 2 months.
Price and space
There is no free plan: you get a 14-day trial, then the Individual plan was $2.99 a month on a yearly promotion, normally $3.99, when we checked. Each account includes 1 GB for files. DigiSafe is free.
Papers, not passwords
DigiSafe is built around the papers themselves. It scans and straightens a page, reads its numbers, hides Aadhaar digits, stamps a copy with its purpose, shrinks it for an online form, and gathers the papers an application needs into one pack.
Use them together
Many people will want both: a password manager for logins and card details, and a document vault for the scans and certificates offices keep asking for.
