Password Diary 1.0.0.0

Put your passcodes inside a secure container where they are safely kept right on your phone
For many people the privacy concerns are growing since the methods of accessing sensitive user data are becoming more advanced and diversified.

Password Diary is one of the Windows Phone utilities that can prove of great help for those who are looking for a simple way of stashing away usernames, passwords and even other type of credentials or personal info.

The utility uses AES encryption to safeguard the stored data and offers a couple of useful features that are sure to bring peace of mind to its users.

Clean look for effortless utilization

The application is designed to provide a very good protection layer and focuses mostly on practical use at the expense of the visual appeal. The dull interface has few elements of graphical design that are more fair to look upon.

The entries are all kept well organized and easy to access, as Password Diary features several categories besides the genera list of passwords to make browsing the stored data a bit easier.

The functions and commands conveniently placed for easy access, but in the lower part of the screen there are some advertisement banners that try to load each time you open a record or move to a different area of the app.

Add various types of records and manage them

Password Diary offers a straightforward method of adding and taking care of your credentials, so you should have no problems in adding the necessary information and then editing or disposing of it if needed.

With this utility you will be able to keep inside its password protected storage credit card data, logins, email accounts, websites and other credentials. You can pick the right category for the new info you want to add when creating a new entry, but there is no possibility of including new groups.

Viewing and editing the information is very easy as well, so with a single tap you will be able to unlock the fields and make the necessary modifications.

Reliable security with access recovery option

The app provides a very strong layer of security as it keeps all the information inside protected with 256-bit AES encryption.

This utility relies on a simple password lock to limit the access to its database, but the good thing is that even when invoked from the list of recently used apps, the utility will prompt for the access code.

In case you forget the passcode you can regain access to the safe box if you activated the security question when setting up the security measures. By providing the correct answer you will have the possibility to create a new master password.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

The interface is decent, with common graphics, but otherwise not too impressive from the visual perspective, especially given the ad banners.

Function8
 

The basic features brought by this utility are enough to keep it in the range of useful apps, especially thanks to the strong security it offers.

Security6
 

Even if it is supposed to ensure data protection, Password Diary looks to access several sensitive areas of the system unrelated to its functionality.

Battery5
 

The application will consume a quite high amount of battery energy at all times, in order to function properly.

Price9
 

Weighing in the plus and minuses, this app manages to offer a good alternative for those interested in securing their passkeys, but it is not yet one of the top choices.

Compatibility10
 

Those who want to take this app for a spin can do so on any Windows Phone device that is powered by version 7.5 or higher of the operating system.
