Prime Day just made staying safe online 70% cheaper

I like finding practical offers during big sales periods. So with Amazon Prime Big Deal Days lasting until 11:59 p.m. PT tonight, I’m looking for good deals on less spectacular items, like security software. Turns out, you can save up to 70% on several of our top antivirus and password manager picks right now.

One major standout: Norton Deluxe 360, our current top pick for antivirus, is an all-in-one security suite that includes a basic password manager and VPN service as part of the subscription. On Amazon, you can currently purchase a 1-year Norton Deluxe 360 ​​subscription for 5 devices for $20, which is 70% off the list price. (Need more devices? A one-year Norton Premium 360 plan, supporting 10 devices, is on sale for $30.)

Alternatively, if you just want top-rated independent antivirus, you can purchase a 2-year AVG Ultimate subscription for 10 devices for $30.

When it comes to password managers, you can ditch the limited free options in favor of year-long subscriptions that cost less than a lunch outing. On the password manager side, NordPass’s personal plan costs just $38 for 27 months, and Keeper’s personal plan is currently $20 for 1 year.

Why bother with independent software when Windows security is built into your PC and you can use free password managers from Google, Apple or Microsoft? In addition to security suites like Norton Deluxe 360 ​​offering extras like password managers and VPNs, third-party antivirus software makes antivirus features and settings much more accessible and understandable. And paid password managers offer a fuller range of features and allow you to move between devices without worrying that your passwords or passkeys will be trapped in a different ecosystem.

Saving 70% on less exciting products like security software is a smart move, and it’s not the only “boring” technology you can find big discounts on right now!
