Best Password Manager App??

Hi! Try using Clipperz. Clipperz is a free, Web-based, open-source password management service that also lets you download a read-only copy of the application and your password data.

It works with any computer capable of running Firefox, Chrome or any other browser that supports JavaScript -- including my iPad running Safari. It also offers a version of the Clipperz Web site that's optimized for mobile phones and other devices with small screens.

Clipperz stores the offline copy of your password data as an encrypted HTML document. The local copy doesn't update automatically, so if you want to keep your offline copy up-to-date you will need to download a fresh one each time you update your database. It saves to a different date-based filename (e.g., clipperz_20100915.html) each day you use it; I purposefully overwrote the same file name each time so that I could open the file using the same Firefox bookmark.

Once you've set up an account, you can open either the online password vault or the local copy of your data using your user name and master password.

Like RoboForm and LastPass, Clipperz initially encrypts password data locally, on your computer, before uploading it to the cloud. Once you set up an account, you can import data (Clipperz supports five formats, including Excel and CSV) or enter your account credentials manually.
 
which is the best password app. for android OS to use with Galaxy Note N7000, which I am using. Can any one guide me with latest news? Thanks in advance

i've been shopping around for a while (lastpass, keepass, 1password) but i most recently discovered dashlane. so far, i prefer it. has anyone else tried it?
 
App Protector Pro by Clutch Mobile is the best, been using it for a while now. They update frequently, such as matching the icon in the task bar for ICS which was nice, and other major improvements. Check them out.
 
Hi all,
I've been using the Craftword android app on my mobile phone - you can buy it on Amazon app store. Love it and I use it everyday. I've also read somewhere that a desktop app will be released soon. Looking forward to that!
 
Actually B Folders does have a desktop app. There is a charge for it, I forget how much, but not too much.
I have it on 2 phones (free) and 2 computers running Windows7.
I believe it might also run on Linux.
 
KeePass - no payments for Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows, MacOS, Linux, or many, many other platforms.

Why pay for something that you can get for free (FOSS for the non .NET dependent v1.x, free for the .NET dependent 2.x versions)?

You can already store files in it, and if you stick with the truly FOSS 1.x versions, even on Android you can edit the files. Using a v2.x database, they are read only, given the limitation that the v2.x programs require .NET, but other than that it works brilliantly....
 
there are many password managers though I would recommend that you should reduce the use of password management softwares, they can end up getting hacked or will crash resulting in a loss of your data.

I beg to differ. With KeePass Pro, for example, I can only add items to the database from the PC. However, it also has a synchronize feature and a plugin for automatic backups of the database. So, I have my main database on my PC, I synchronize to the database stored in my DropBox folder, which is then accessible across all my Android devices, and on the PC I have a backup on my PC as well. That's 2 redundant copies (5 if you include the 3 synchronizations of DropBox to each of my devices).

If any one of them gets corrupted there are 4 other copies waiting to fix it. With Xtralogic's Remote Desktop app, I can log into my PC at any time and grab the original, or else load the app from my desktop and re-sync to the DropBox folder and refresh on my Android devices, and et voila! - back in business.

If you plan carefully then it makes life a lot easier - you can make very large, complex,and virtually unhackable passwords for anywhere and everywhere.

I know other programs also have the ability to sync and make backups, so a database that gets corrupted is not really an issue anymore. And as for hacking, well, KeePass an at least two competitors use AES based security, so it's pretty hard to crack unless you have gobs of time, or a million computer bot net at your disposal....
 
Am trying out the rather new Password Wallet. Rocking its clean look and customized record types. But what really caught my eye was a feature it called stealth mode that actually hides the app icon when enabled. Who can hack an app that only the user knows of its existence?
 
splashid. long time user of it.

one of the the password managers that will sync between devices. I find that this is important. I don't want to copy it between devices, i can just hit the sync button.

I have also looked at pwd managers that keep data in the cloud, but not so sure I want that. if you can't get to the cloud, you can't get your pwd...

I cut my teeth with Splash way back when on Palm. Used it on three platforms.

Good people...
 
Another happy user of Datavault here. I guess it's also a case of using what you're familiar with - I used this on a Blackberry and it was nice to be able to simply sync to the Android client without any conversions or worrying about a fundamental change to look and feel etc.

App wasn't being updated much but that seems to have been addressed now on Android. It's one of those apps I don't talk about much as it just works - does what it says it will do. No drama.
 
I'm strongly recommend everybody to try Password Angel. Its free and its much better designed than the most of password managers in the market.

Here is main features (from market):
Main features:
- Super-secure AES-256 bit encryption
- One master password
- Fresh and modern data-oriented design
- Powerful password generator is always at hand
- Fully customizable group tree structure with unlimited nesting
- Fast search through the database
- Expiration date for critical data (passwords and groups)
- Unlimited password databases
- Automatic database lock (by timer)
- Windows Desktop application available.
- Data import from popular password managers through "Password Angel for Windows"

Sorry no links available for me, since its my first post. Google Play id is com.maxidix.pasangel.
 
In addition to the password managers mentioned so far:
I have just released "Keepass2Android". It is similar to Keepassdroid (UI is even based on it, both are open source), but has additional features like browser integration, QuickUnlock, direct support for FTP/WebDav (as Keepass 2.x has) and of course full compatibility with Keepass 2.x (kdbx) files.
 
I have recently fallen in love with LastPass. There is an android app, a web interface and a Chromebook extension. Now I can access my passwords regardless of which device I'm on.
 
I am using free app Sticky Password in my smartphone and it is really great. You can download it here, take a look at google play. What I like about it most is floating window.
