Description

Securely store all your sensitive information like web accounts or credit card numbers in this incredibly simple app! Padlock is a minimalist open source password manager that puts usability and security first. No clutter, no distractions! \\\ Why should I use a password manager? /// Passwords are everywhere. We need them to access our computers, our email accounts and many other services that we rely on. Unfortunately, good passwords are hard to remember and in the digital age we live in it has become practically impossible to keep track of all the user names and passwords we use each day. Most people try to mitigate this by composing their passwords out of familiar things like names or birthdays, but these can be guessed easily and do not provide sufficient protection. Password reuse, which is also wide-spread, is even more dangerous and makes a lot of people easy targets for hackers. Padlock helps you keep track of all your sensitive information by storing it in a secure, encrypted vault that is protected by a single master password. \\\ What makes Padlock special? /// We believe that software should not only be useful but also simple and fun to use. Padlock is all about simplicity and usability. We deliberately say no to unnecessary features that make other password managers more complex and confusing than they need to be. Padlock focuses only on the most essential functionality. No clutter, no distractions! \\\ Why should I trust you? /// You don't have to! Padlock is completely open source and we actively encourage developers to inspect the source code and offer contributions. This not only makes it impossible for us to build in "back doors" but also helps to identify and eliminate possible security flaws quickly and efficiently. On top of that, we work with professional security auditors to make sure Padlock continues to meet our high security standards. \\\ Is Padlock also available on other platforms? /// Why, yes! Padlock is also available for your Mac and on many other platforms and our secure cloud storage service Padlock Cloud allows you to quickly and easily synchronize your data between all your devices!

Was great but they disabled it and are holding my passwords hostage for money. Feels unethical.

I loved it at first! But now they want me to pay 4 bucks a month! Let's get this straight, you want me to pay half the cost of Hulu to store one tiny encrypted file? I totally understand they may want to make money, but get real guys!

Does not work ! Do not spend time on this! Does not recognize the master password. Install LastPass instead

Could not remember password to unlock the app. There is no option to reset or recover the password.

The extension, makes a XHR post submit at every page load, calling a remote url sending the URL you're browsing and a fingerprint, very annoying if you're a developer and work with Chrome Console.

Seems perfect for a newbie. But, if you have a lot of items in a kdbx database. There is no way for migration.

It's good, but there's a problem. I was looking for a free password manager. But this only gives a 30-day free trial.

This could be a fantastic password manager. Indeed, it was until they recently introduced a $4 charge to store your data and synchronise your devices. In fairness, you can still use it for free but you can't sync across your devices, which means if you've got your passwords on your home PC, you can't access them when you're out and about. I totally understand the need to charge, but $4 is just a bit much - I have a free password manager on my phone and 99% of the time, I can just refer to that. Shame, as otherwise, it is fantastic.

Looks like a good app, but not what I was looking for. Does not seem to be any way to remove.

Good but need improvements, There is no auto-fill option. Application should provide different cloud storage options.

Simple and intuitive. But I kept getting "Authentication failed" error message, which forced me to disconnect and reconnect. Ultimately, my lack of confidence caused me to uninstall. Keeper app may be better for me.

it was ok and if forgot master password you had to delete it and get it again, other then that it was good

The app is exactly what I'm looking for however instead of opening within chrome it opens a separate program, so I removed it.
