X Password Manager 1.0.0.0
There is a quite varied choice for Windows Phone users in this respect and among the numerous applications made for the above-mentioned purpose you can find X Password Manager.
Plain GUI, lacking visual appeal and content organization
The looks of this application are far from appealing, as there are no elements of graphical design that could be deemed as such. The entries are all hosted inside a single screen and they appear in the order in which you added them.
The graphics inside X Password Manager are extremely basic, but the navigation through the few menus and sections of the application remains fairly fluent and without delays or other glitches.
Add an entry name and the sensitive content to safeguard
Adding the personal information you want to keep inside this utility is easy to carry out and you can store website login data, credit card details, as well as notes or memos that you want to have protected.
Creating a new entry is pretty straightforward, as you have to select this option from the main menu, type in the name and password then tap the "Enter" key on your virtual keyboard to have the new item included in the app's database.
The area reserved to the password entry is very generous, so you can write or paste entire texts in there, thus turning X Password Manager into a secure note keeper as well.
The items you store inside this utility are all stacked together in the same area, without any possibility of filtering, rearranging them or searching the database in a more convenient manner to identify certain passcodes or credentials.
Access code setup and protection issues
Insofar as the application's security is concerned, you will be prompted to create an access password even from the first run and you will have to remember it because it cannot be changed later on.
A major downside is the fact that if you recall X Password Manager from the recently used apps list it will no longer ask for the access code. Also, when tapping the "Back" button to close the utility, this will not happen immediately, as you will be taken through all the steps you made during the current session.
