Link Locker

Most websites nowadays require subscription or even a personal account which is protected by a password. It’s best to add a different password for each, but your brain can only remember so many. In case you’re having such problems, you can rely on specialized applications like Link Locker to safely store your online credentials.

A neat advantage is that you don’t have to go through a setup process to make the application work, and you can even carry it around on a USB flash drive to use on the go. This means that you don’t have to worry about messing up the target PC, because registries are not a dependency, thus not modified.

The visual design is decent, with custom colors for sections and edit areas to make identification a bit easier. There’s no need to go through other menu, with all functions in plain sight. The accommodation process is a walk in the park, but before you get to add credentials, you first need to set up a master password to protect the vault.

You’re free to add multiple categories so you can organize your accounts for entertainment, news, and other websites you frequently visit. The group is selected from a drop-down menu, with the creation process being the same. There’s also the option to create a backup of the whole locker, just in case something goes wrong.

The overall process requires little effort on your behalf. All there is to do is fill in the website field, as well as the corresponding username and password. You can also add notes in a dedicated section. Sadly, the application doesn’t come with its own password generator, so you need to think of strong passwords yourself.

Bottom line is that with the variety of websites and services that ask for credentials, it gets difficult and frustrating to remember them all. Applications like Link Locker are neat security solutions, offering flexibility because of portability, and options to organize groups, with the possibility to back up lockers for extra security.
