Simple Password Manager

You can find plenty of browser-based and desktop password managers out there, but many of them are more complicated than some users would like, in which case a simpler alternative might be a better choice.

Simple Password Manager may just be what you need, and its name describes the application perfectly. It is a very straightforward and portable utility that allows you to store your account credentials securely.

Your account database is saved as an XML file in the application’s folder, and all the information is encrypted using AES 128. The only way to access the data is by providing the master password when launching the program.

When adding a new account, you can enter a website, user name and password, as well as any comments you deem useful. Your credentials are displayed as a simple list, and you can use basic filters to find what you need.

When double-clicking an entry, the password is copied to the clipboard for 30 seconds, and you can also open the website directly from the context menu.

Unfortunately, there is no way to organize the accounts you have added to the database, so things may end up becoming rather confusing if you need to manage a large number of passwords.

Features such as a password generator, grouping or auto-typing are not available, but this is to be expected when dealing with an application designed with simplicity in mind.

Of course, one of the best things about Simple Password Manager is that it can be used on the go. Provided Java is installed, you can launch the program from any location while leaving nothing behind. Just make sure to remember to take your password database with you.

While this application offers a very limited array of features, they may be enough for many users, so don’t hesitate to try it out if you are looking for a simple way to manage your passwords.
