CredSafe 1.0.0.9
Fortunately, for Windows Phone users there are a few alternatives they can try and one of them is CredSafe. This app offers a very good security layer and can store various types of passwords and logins.
Clean and friendly interface
The utility comes with a simple design that relies on a very practical front-end, where all the information is preserved in orderly fashion. The graphics are simple, while the layout is focused on ease of use.
Going through the numerous sections and menus of the app is straightforward and without any delays or other glitches. The functions and commands are all placed at hand, so you can create new items and edit them with minimal efforts.
A drawback is represented by the lack of a quicker means of browsing the app's modules, as a jumplist menu, for example, would make it a lot easier to reach the desired category.
Create new entries on the fly
Adding inside this app the information you want to protect is a simple process, as you can insert the account name and password, followed by other details and then save the entry.
CredSafe also makes it possible for you to include some hints for each password stored inside and you can also include a URL address as well as a specific note for every single entry.
The passcodes have to be assigned to categories, or tags as the app calls them and there is a separate section assigned for these password collections, so you identify them easier.
Manage tags and security options
When it comes to creating new tags inside this application you can assign a specific color to each of them, besides typing in the desired label to be displayed inside CredSafe.
The access to the application is protected by a numeric PIN code you are prompted to setup at the first launch. The 6-digit passkey cannot be changed and there is no recovery option, but there is a bigger issue here as if the number of wrong login attempts hits the designated limit, every account will be deleted.
Concerning the way in which the passwords are shown inside the app, you can have them displayed in full or partially, with a third option being to have the assigned hints appear instead of the passcodes.
