Passnote

Keeping your credentials and corresponding passwords safe and organized is not an easy task, especially in the context of an ever-growing pool of diverse websites. Pen and paper, documents or even protected-archives can be some ways to deal with such issues. However, Passnote was designed specifically for helping those who have numerous sets of credentials and who wish to keep them safe and neatly organized into a vault-like environment.

Right off the bat, the app provides users with the option of defining their password database and this can either be hosted locally, on their PC or on a remote FTP server. This offers a certain degree of flexibility, but having the ability to run both configurations simultaneously is missing.

Consequently, the locally hosted database will be accessible using a set of credentials which users need to create when first initializing the database. However, no additional login options are provided, making things quite unreliable in the case of an unwanted credentials loss.

The best feature provided by this app is by far the organizational scheme for users’ credentials. One will be able to create folders for keeping things neatly divided into categories and each of the credentials set can be customized with numerous details.

One can add titles, the corresponding URL, username and password combination, as well as select a corresponding folder, right from a single interface.

This application can provide a fair set of tools that are aimed at assisting users to create a secure database for their various website credentials. With straightforward handling and decent feature richness, it manages to provide a balance between functionality and ease-of-use.
