Password Manager 2.7.0.0
For those who want to keep logins and account details safe onto their Windows Phone devices it might be worth trying out Password Manager, a simple tool that aims to help in this respect.
Nice looking and tidy appearance
Through a clean and unadorned GUI this utility makes it possible to easily go through all the sections and add the usernames and passwords, as well as other type of information you want to store safely.
For the sake of simplicity and ease of use, the app comes with simple interface that has a decent background and some clean graphics, without any customization possibilities.
The functions are all placed at hand, so there will be no problems in handling the basic tasks this application is designed to take care of.
Add and manage entries on the go
Password Manager offers a simple method of adding and managing passwords, so you can store as many logins as you want inside the app.
Thus, all you have to do is specify the title of the new entry, add the username and password you want to safeguard and then hit the "Save" button to complete the job.
Optionally, you can include an email address and even some notes, as the utility has some special fields designated to provide the necessary space for this info.
Security setup and protection scope
This utility relies on a simple password to secure the access to the contained data, but there are a few issues here that must be mentioned for you to consider carefully.
First of all, when entering the code, the characters are unmasked, so anyone looking over your shoulder or even from a short distance can read the access key also because of the large font used by the app.
Another drawback becomes evident if you switch to another app and then return to Password Manager from the recently used apps list. You will not be prompted to enter the password, so the data can be yet again exposed, to anyone who gains access to your phone.
The master passkey can be modified whenever you want from the dedicated section of the app, but there are no recovery options, so if you forget it, reinstalling the utility is the only possible course of action and this erases all the data inside.
