Summary

Securely store all your sensitive information like web accounts or credit card numbers in this incredibly simple app! Padlock is a minimalist open source password manager that puts usability and security first. No clutter, no distractions!

\\ Why should I use a password manager? ///

Passwords are everywhere. We need them to access our computers, our email accounts and many other services that we rely on. Unfortunately, good passwords are hard to remember and in the digital age we live in it has become practically impossible to keep track of all the user names and passwords we use each day. Most people try to mitigate this by composing their passwords out of familiar things like names or birthdays, but these can be guessed easily and do not provide sufficient protection. Password reuse, which is also wide-spread, is even more dangerous and makes a lot of people easy targets for hackers. Padlock helps you keep track of all your sensitive information by storing it in a secure, encrypted vault that is protected by a single master password.

\\ What makes Padlock special? ///

We believe that software should not only be useful but also simple and fun to use. Padlock is all about simplicity and usability. We deliberately say no to unnecessary features that make other password managers more complex and confusing than they need to be. Padlock focuses only on the most essential functionality. No clutter, no distractions!

\\ Why should I trust you? ///

You don't have to! Padlock is completely open source and we actively encourage developers to inspect the source code and offer contributions. This not only makes it impossible for us to build in "back doors" but also helps to identify and eliminate possible security flaws quickly and efficiently. On top of that, we work with professional security auditors to make sure Padlock continues to meet our high security standards.

Seems perfect for a newbie. But, if you have a lot of items in a kdbx database. There is no way for migration.

Looks like a good app, but not what I was looking for. Does not seem to be any way to remove.

Really good! I'd give it five stars, but everytime I put in a new password, it turns black. Other than that it's really good
