ExpressVPN vs gokey

ExpressVPN is a premium consumer VPN known for fast speeds, a large global server network, and a very easy setup, with an audited no-logs policy. It is a mainstream, polished choice.

gokey is a vaultless password manager written in Go. Rather than storing passwords anywhere, it derives each password on the fly from your master password and a realm string, so there is no vault or database to sync, back up, or lose. An optional encrypted seed file supplies real randomness for cases where pure derivation is not enough.
