Password Gorilla Portable

Password Gorilla Portable is an open source software tool which was developed specifically to aid people in creating a secure database, so as to store all their passwords.

This is the portable version of Password Gorilla, which means that you can easily bypass the installation process. Consequently, the Windows registry and Start menu/screen are not going to suffer any changes, and no leftovers will remain on the disk after its removal.

Another aspect you should be made aware of is that by placing the program files to a USB flash drive, you make it possible to take Password Gorilla Portable everywhere with you, and run it on the fly, on any PC you can connect to.

First and foremost, you should know you are required to create a master passkey for the utility, so that all the data you store in it can be safe from prying eyes. Aside from that, it is possible to create an unlimited number of entries for credentials, to which you can add information such as group, title, URL, username, password and notes.

A random passkey generator is also featured, and you should know it is possible to organize all login credentials into groups and subgroups. A search function is integrated, while you can also copy the username, password or URL to the Clipboard or clear it, with minimum effort.

Import is available using DAT, PSAFE3 and CSV files, while exporting is possible using formats such as TXT, CSV, DAT and PSAFE3, and includes the password and note fields, as well as a custom field separator.

To wrap it up, Password Gorilla Portable is a pretty decent piece of software when it comes to managing your login credentials to all websites. The response time is fairly good, the CPU and memory usage is minimal, and we did not detect any errors or crashes in our tests. Nevertheless, the interface could use a little bit more work, as it leaves to be desired, and its overall simplicity might ward off power users.
