Password Manager Free 4.0
For those who are looking to get an app that they can carry with them onto a mobile device, there are numerous tools to go for, regardless of the platform in use. Windows Phone users can try Password Manager Free, an app that uses 256-bit AES encryption to make sure no one can look into the database and retrieve the goodies stored inside.
Plain looking front-end, bent on practicality
The application comes with a pretty much dull appearance, lacking any elements of design that could be regarded as visually appealing. The background is all black and no customizations are available.
Fortunately, the navigation thorough menus and among the different sections of the app is an advantage offered by this utility. Not so pleasant are the ad banners that often appear in pairs, one on top of another, in the upper part of the screen.
Effortless password management
With the help of Password Manager Free you can create new entries on the fly and you are even allowed to add and remove categories as you please. For every password you want to save you can add a variety of details that will be then available in the view mode.
Inside the main view you can select up to 3 types of passkeys, while the rest will remain visible and accessible from the "All" section. In case you want to check out the stored data organized by categories, this app supports this feature as well.
Transfer passwords to online storage on the fly
Another neat ability of Password Manager Free is the support for OneDrive, which makes it possible for you to upload data to your account and have it available from any connected device.
The download and restore functionality is also part of the package, but you should use it carefully because the data copied from the cloud will overwrite the existing information stored inside the app.

Bottom Line
Design / UI3
The interface is completely unappealing and the advertisement banners shown in every screen of the application are very disruptive. |
Function9
The powerful encryption and online storage transfer capabilities, along with the customization possibilities offered by this utility are most welcomed. |
Security6
Even if it is supposed to ensure data protection, Password Manager Free looks to access several sensitive areas of the system unrelated to its functionality. |
Battery7
The application needs a lot of power to function well, so the battery usage remains at high levels all through its run time. |
Price8
The very good feature pack offered freely is quite valuable, but the poor looks of the GUI and especially the adverts make it lose a couple of points. |
Compatibility9
Ready to run on handsets powered by at least Windows Phone 7.5, this utility requires a standard screen, with a minimum resolution of 480 by800 pixels. |
