Password Padlock 6.4.0.0

Secure your personal data and login credentials by encrypting them inside a powerful password manager for Windows Phone
Most users are concerned about the privacy of their information and keeping passwords and access details for online accounts away from prying eyes is a must nowadays. Fortunately, for Windows Phone users there are a few alternatives they can try and Password Padlock is one of them.

This utility provides AES 256-bit encryption and synchronization capabilities, so you can rest assured your data is kept safe on your phone and also in your OneDrive account if necessary.

Unadorned GUI designed mainly for easy to use

The somber appearance of this app doesn't provide any eye-candy elements, but keeps things as simple as possible, so anyone can get along with it without any difficulties.

The main commands are neatly placed in the menu that is hosted at the bottom of the screen, so you can access them with a single tap at all times. Also, browsing through categories and stored logins is done without any glitches.

Safely store data into the existing categories or in new ones you create

Password Padlock comes with a set of default categories that match the most common types of data you would like to store in the vault. Adding new, custom categories is not at all difficult, but the process can be very elaborate.

This operation may include details about the user ID and password prompt, individual notes and up to 4 optional prompts you might want to add to personalize the entries in a new category.

Data transfer abilities and built-in passcode creator

A built-in password generator can help you get passcodes with maximum 8 characters, consisting of letters, numbers and (optionally) special characters or symbols.

Exporting the data stored inside Password Padlock is also possible and there are two alternatives at your disposal: sending the information directly to your OneDrive account or encrypted inside a message to to any email address you choose.
