This is a list of great
little password manger to put on your Android phone, but you should also heed
the warning that by putting your passwords into any format that saves them is
also making them available for hackers. That is why you should do a little
independent research as to the security level of any of the mangers you decide
to choose.
RoboForm
This is a storage system
that has free but limited access to its security functions. It works on a
number of browsers too, and you can save your data to the cloud and on your
device too. It is also quite a good backup manager for smaller pieces of
information.
Keepassdroid
Despite having the word
“droid” in it, it is not an Android exclusive manager. Clearly the designers
have watched the Star Wars movies too often and now feel the need to add the
word droid into things. The misleading name aside, it is actually a rather good
password manager that allows you to save your passwords online and offline.
This is good because a lot
of managers on the market seem to forget that we have things to sign into that
are not based online. The manager is easy to use and has not added in
complexity for the sake of it, so it is well worth a try.
aWallet Password Manager
This is a password
management app that you can install as an app and then use to store your
passwords. It does not have a particular specialty, which is good because a lot
of people assume this tool is built for monetary websites but it can be used
for all sorts and is most commonly used by people who have more than one email
address (who doesn’t these days?).
They used a 256bit AES
encryption, which according to them makes hacking the files within the app
rather hard. As an extra measure you may set up an automatic lock, although
your phone probably has an automatic lock if left idle, so it may be a
superfluous function for most people.
Dashlane
This is a tool that works
on a number of platforms, which may be good if you want to transfer your
password database from one device to another. It allows you to keep your
passwords save and also the details of other things such as credit cards and
your personal identification.
It allows you to encrypt
the passwords that you put onto it. It will cost you a yearly amount to use the
tool, but the price is not too much.
Password Safe Pro
With this tool you may
store your passwords and you may store other information that would allow you
to make online purchases a lot easier. These are things such as credit card
details and account information. It uses a 128 and 256 bits AES encryption.
It also allows you to self
destruct your information by sending a text to instruct it to delete everything
that is on the tool. It also has a hard data backup feature where you may use
an SD card so that you can transfer your information from one device (Android
phone) to another.
Universal Password manager
This is a free password
storage program that allows you to store both your passwords and your user
names. You may also store URLs to websites so you may connect to your online
accounts in one simple step. It had a 128bit AES encryption which is going to
put off a lot of hackers, and the tool itself has its own password so that
others cannot get in and use it.
Free tools are sometimes a
little suspicious, especially when saving your personal details, but just
because you pay for a service it does not mean you are getting better security,
so as mentioned in the introduction you should do a little independent research
as to the security of the manager you decide to use.
Keeper Password & Data Vault
It has a sexy name which
seems to sum up its function rather well. You may save your passwords into the
manager, and you may also save a batch of other sensitive data. It works on
more than just the Android, which many like because it works on web browsers on
desktop computers. The marketing people say that it has military-grade
encryption which would be more reassuring if autistic British people and
Chinese spies had not already proved that military grade encryption is not all
it is cracked up to be.
It does however have a self
destruct function which is a very good feature because you can burn your
personal information before other people have the chance to look at it. Its
self destruct function and its security make it a good contender for your
loyalty.
