PassNGuard

If you handle multiple accounts when using your computer, you might need a safe place to store them, usernames and passwords included, and doing so without relying on specialized apps can lead to security breaches.

PassNGuard, for instance, is one of the applications mentioned above that can help you achieve satisfactory results in storing your credentials in a safe manner.

The first time you run the application, you will be prompted to create a new database on your computer that will be encrypted in order to protect all the credentials you decide to store in it.

You can do so by simply trying to type a passphrase, as the application will automatically detect that no database is loaded and prompt you to generate a new one.

PassNGuard was designed for your security and privacy; many handy components have been implemented into it to offer you a safe and efficient credential storage solution. For example, you can't type the master passphrase using your keyboard. Instead, you have to use your mouse and click each character on a scramble keypad (the characters on the keypad pick a new, random position every time you click any one of them).

Trying to capture a screenshot or video of the tool in action renders its window entirely black, so no attacker is able to view its contents at any time. Thus, you are protected against both key-loggers and screen-recording tools.

After you create the database and access it, you can simply add new entries by clicking the "+" button and input the required data in the corresponding fields.

You can assign a title to each account, which consists of a username, a password, a URL and even a memo if you want. Sensitive parts of your entries are hidden behind asterisks, but you can temporarily toggle their visibility by clicking the "Show for 30 seconds" button.

If you want to find the perfect password for your accounts, you can always try this app's generating abilities, as it can create 3 types of passphrases. You just have to choose between "Normal," "Pronounceable" and "Pattern," set the required parameters and hit the "Generate" button.

You can adjust the length of each passphrase and how many of them you want to generate. It is possible to include uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers and special characters when creating a Normal password. The Pattern type lets you create your own passphrase pattern by providing you with brief instructions.

All things considered, if you want a safe way to store credentials on your computer, PassNGuard might be exactly what you're looking for. It comes with components designed to protect you against various attacks, including a scramble keypad and screen-recording protection, and even lets you generate random passwords based on certain rules.
