Link between Password Manager and Wallet

FIMCT

New to Bitdefender - I am struggling to understand the purpose of having Wallet and Password Manager. Also are they ever synchronised ?

Stupid questions maybe!!

Taken from "Consumer Support » Bitdefender Password Manager: Frequently Asked Questions":

"What’s the difference between Wallet and the new Bitdefender Password Manager?

Bitdefender Wallet and Bitdefender Password Manager are not the same product. The main difference is the multiplatform password synchronization. Password Manager is a standalone software compatible with Windows, Android, macOS, and iOS, while the Wallet is a password manager module with basic functionality that comes with our paid security solutions Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, Bitdefender Internet Security, Bitdefender Total Security. The Wallet is available only on Windows and does not work on Mac, Android, or iOS devices.

Wallet integrates with the following Windows browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Bitdefender Safepay. Unlike Password Manager, the Wallet does not offer master password recovery options: if you forget your Master Password you lose all your passwords. Wallet functions are limited to autosave & autofill, auto-lock, and a password generator. You can import data from other password management applications only in .db and .csv format.

On the other hand, Bitdefender Password Manager works with Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari across Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. If you forget your master password, you can always reset it and regain access to your data. It has a plethora of bonus features that increase your privacy: autosave & autofill, password generator, password quality check, search & delete password duplicates, (un)hide passwords as you type them, security reports, password leak alert, secure notes, remote logout, biometric unlock on mobile devices. You can import data from other password management applications in multiple formats: csv, json, xml, txt, 1pif, fsk."

Again, this is a disingenuous representation. Password Manager does not yet have functionality with Safari and seems disheartening to see the software represented that way. Misrepresentations build distrust in users willing to pay for the product to then find out that the claimed functionality does not yet exist.

Wallet was developed and implemented into the BD security products years ago, and is also tied in with Safepay. Password Manager is an advancement of the BD password manager software and would have been, would be hard to have totally "exchanged out" PM for Wallet, "overnight." Some people have used Wallet for years and are comfortable and content with it.

It will be interesting to see where things go from here. It is still pretty new, and BD is getting a lot of feedback as far as what we like, or would like to see changed.
