Security & Encryption
We check for zero-knowledge architecture, published audit reports, encryption standard (AES-256 or equivalent) and 2FA options, including hardware-key support.
How the Final Score Is Calculated
Each criterion is scored 0–10 independently, then combined using the weights above into a single /10 figure, rounded to one decimal. No score is adjusted for affiliate relationships.
Review Update Policy
We re-test every review at least twice a year, or immediately after a public security incident or major pricing change. The “Updated” date on each review reflects the last re-test.
