Safety Password

Every service, especially online ones ask for different credentials to minimize the changes of your account to get hijacked. This can be a little frustrating, having to remember an abundance of credentials, but you can rely on applications like Safety Password to keep your information protected locally.

It takes a little while before you get to take the application for a spin, because the installer is short and uneventful. A compact window shows up on launch, which might leave you scratching your head for a while, especially since data suddenly disappears from the input field with every action you perform.

The downside is that the application doesn’t come with a safety measure of its own, not even in the form of a password prompt for accessing the database, so you need to be careful where you save all credentials files, and who is watching when managing your credentials.

A built-in generator can help you create new passwords for new accounts in a simple process. It requires a maximum character length, the username, and target service which needs to be in the form of a URL for the process to be successful. Note that all details are not visible on the spot, and need to be accessed to review details.

In fact, credentials are displayed on a single row in plain text format, with no possibility to change anything once created. Only one set of credentials can be viewed at a time, with a dedicated option to send all details to the clipboard. However, there is the possibility to add extra text inside the display box after it’s copied, but changes are not saved in the database.

All things considered, we can say that Safety Password comes with good intentions, but the way in which the situation is tackled leaves more to be desired. It’s difficult to tell whether or not values are saved, and almost every action performed clears the display area of all details.
