Simple Password Manager

We are using several services and applications on our computers and devices and many of them require having a personal account. On the other hand, it’s practically impossible to remember them all, especially if you bind to the passwords’ security rules and recommendations. No worries, as there is a solution to this problem: a password manager.

While there are many solutions out there, including plain browser add-ons that work as password managers, desktop applications such as Simple Password Manager still seem to be on the preferences list of many.

Simple Password Manager is nothing more than its name states: a straightforward, lightweight and easy-to-use password management tool that can help you store credentials in a single place. As it usually happens with such tools, the access to the manager is protected by a master password, which, by default is “1234”. Evidently, you can change it to secure access to your password vault with your own security key.

Once logged in, you can see the main window with its two separate tabs, one for managing passwords and the other for adding new passwords to the list. A drop-down list allows you to select the password category, while all the passwords are visible in the lower side of the GUI. In case you already have a lot of passwords in the list, don’t worry, as Simple Password Manager allows you to search for an ID and,thus, filter all the password entries.

Adding a new password is a straightforward operation, although we could not find a list of fields to fill in for the password fields. That is due to the fact that, annoyingly enough, there is no default list of fields for stored passwords. It is possible to create a new category, but difficult to populate the category with new entries.

Simple Password Manager provides a simple tool for managing passwords, but it only stores data locally and there is no information about data encryption, which is definitely a drawback. On the other hand, it does offer an open-source alternative to more complex password managers,
