# Password Managers--It's All about Trust and Transparency
## 6 Implications for Future Research
### Explanation of Positive Aspects in the Three Password Managers  
**System display page:** The main page of LastPass has a title which lets the user know which page they are browsing. Dashlane's main page does not have a title or header, but there are enough instructions and information in the middle of the page to let users know which page they are on and what it is about. The main page of Keeper has a title and there are enough instructions and information on the page to inform the user which page it is. **Main menu of the system:** The menu is the same across the three password managers, it has the same colour and background. If a user chooses a specific page, the icon of that page will be active while other icons are greyed out. So the system status is visible, the menu design is consistent and aesthetic. Keeper offers many different colours for the menu so the user can choose and change them. **Icons, grammar, and terminology:** The three password managers provide concrete icons across the system as well as speaking the user's language with words and concepts familiar to the user. The icons used match those in the real world, such as payments. **Storing personal information:** There are many dialogue boxes which have an entry data field in the system. Each dialogue box has its own fields and requires information which is easy to populate by users. For example, the driving licence entry field has different requirements to the bank account field. **Storing online passwords:** There is a specific dialogue box for each account/password, the user can fill in accounts and passwords, categorise them into groups and choose preferred options for accounts. Also, the user can store account details and passwords automatically by allowing the browser extension to save credentials when logging in to the website in the future. Please note that LastPass provides a list of URLs in its library, so the user can choose from them. **Main system page (vault):** The main pages of the three password managers have good layout and design (concise and aligned), this is where a user can categorise stored data and use a grid view or large view to organize them. When the user adds new information or changes it, the system will show a notification. **Copy and modify data:** The three password managers allow the user to copy password and paste it on the log-in form and in a dialogue box, the same thing is allowed on other pages (across the system). So, data can be modified and saved easily to save time. **Autofill credentials to log in:** The three password managers provide their users with an autofill feature where the username and password are filled in automatically on a log-in form, so the user does not need to type these, which saves time. If the user has multiple accounts on the same website, then the system will show a drop-down list of accounts so the user can choose an account from the list. **Change sensitive data:** The three password managers do not allow users to change sensitive data without asking them to enter the master password; otherwise, the data are not changed/updated, thus any errors are prevented, which keeps the user's sensitive data safe from being changed, for example, changing a phone number or resetting a master password. **Random password generator:** When a user opens the random password generator, the password generated is already shown to the user. The user can change the length of the password and/or remove characters. Also, the user can use a random password generator from the website itself (e.g., Twitter) and fill in old and new passwords. Dashlane shows the strength of a password generated in words and colours (unlike LastPass). However, Keeper only has a random generator embedded in the password section, so it is not a separate tool as in LastPass and Dashlane. **Error messages (warnings):** The three managers use very good text to inform users about errors, an error message is shown briefly and unambiguously and does not criticize the user for anything.
