Passwords 1.4.0.0
For Windows Phone users, one of the possible choices is Passwords, a rather easy to use application that offers a straightforward interface and mode of operation.
Plain and simple front-end, made for practicality
The somber appearance of this utility doesn't provide any eye-candy elements, but keeps things as simple as possible, so anyone can get along with it without any difficulties. Also, the commands, not many in all are kept at hand and easy to reach.
The smooth navigation through menus and functions seems to be one of the very few positive characteristics of Passwords that is worth taking into consideration, insofar as its design is concerned.
Store and manage passwords on the go
When it comes to adding passwords, notes or login info, this app offers an intuitive method that takes you through only a couple of steps, namely specifying the title you want to assign to the respective entry and then inserting the necessary data.
There are very few fields you have to fill in, so after adding the login or username and password you want to add to the database, you can optionally include a web address, which can be be pretty helpful when dealing with online services.
An interesting and useful feature of Passwords is the ability to setup even from the first run a master login and a master password that can be added automatically to any new entry you create just by tapping the respective field.
Security options and issues
This application has a rather basic protection system, as it is based on a 4 digit PIN code you can create on the first run and modify later from the "Settings" section. There are no backup or recovery options, so make sure you remember or keep well the passkey.
An important drawback become visible as you switch to another app while using this utility because from the list of recently used applications anyone with access to the handset can see the content of Passwords. Also, it doesn't require the security passcode when opened from that list, which poses at risk even more the private information it has inside.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The GUI of this application is clearly meant for practicality as it lacks some really visually appealing graphics. |
Function4
The operation is very simple and the app has the basic set of features many would need, but the security flaws can expose, in certain conditions, the stored info. |
Security10
Discreet and well-behaved while running, Passwords doesn't go anywhere near any secure system area. |
Battery7
There is a noticeable power consumption related to the run time of this utility, so the battery usage will remain at high levels most of the time. |
Price10
This application offers everything it has without asking for anything in return, so it is a pretty good deal. |
Compatibility10
Designed to run well on most Windows Phone handsets, the app is good to go when installed onto any device powered by version 7.5 or higher of the OS. |
