Password Hide 2.0.0.0
This app uses 256-bit AES encryption to make sure no one can look into the database and retrieve the goodies stored inside, while also providing some cloud backup and restore features.
Unsophisticated and efficient interface
The somber and simple interface of this application lacks any visual appeal. Instead, the intuitive layout provides quick access to all the modules of the app, so that you will not lose a moment trying to get to the desired section.
The graphics inside Password Hide are rather basic, but the navigation through the menus and various sections of the application remains fairly fluent and without delays or other glitches.
Add new entries on the go and create custom passwords
This utility works in a very simple manner, so you should have no difficulties in operating it. Adding new entries to the list takes only a couple of seconds since all you have to do is input the service name then fill in the user ID and password fields before confirming the fresh addition to the database.
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. Just as easy is copying the password or user ID to the clipboard, so you can paste it in an online login form for instance.
The built-in password generator can help you get passcodes with up to 32 characters, consisting of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters or symbols. This option is readily available for each new entry you add or while editing existing items.
Cloud backup and restore functionality
This utility is ready to help you store a backup copy of the password list inside your OneDrive account and the information can be transmitted encrypted or in plain CSV format, with all the items open for reading from any app that supports the text format.
In order to bring back the passwords kept in the cloud, Password Hide offers the corresponding restore set of restore commands. Nonetheless, you should note that the encrypted backup may pose some issues when you try to reinstate it, while importing data from the CSV file will be carried out correctly.
A major flaw of this app is the fact that when left running in the background and restored from the phone memory it will not ask for the security code you set up on the first run, anyone who can access your handset while the tool is running will be able to view the passwords.

Bottom Line
Design / UI3
The interface looks indeed poor, as it merely displays several sections of the utility against a black background. |
Function6
The ease of use and ability to send and retrieve data to and from a cloud account are welcomed, but the app has some serious drawbacks. |
Security9
Most of the secure areas of the system are left untouched, but Password Hide requires access to the phone identity for some reason. |
Battery6
There is a significant battery usage while this application is running, as its power consumption reaches high values most of the time. |
Price10
There are no costs and no nuisances in sight, so anyone can use this application freely, which gives it excellent value overall. |
Compatibility9
Ready to run on handsets powered by at least Windows Phone 8, this utility doesn't have any other requirements. |
