How many different passwords are you juggling for your online accounts? For many, it can be an overwhelming feat just keeping them all straight and chances are, if you connect to multiple online outlets, you have turned to a password manager for assistance. These mangers promise secure software to record and protect your seemingly endless list of account passwords, but have you considered that several keep a cloud-based backup of the password database?
Allow me to introduce you to PassLock, created by an XDA forum member with the promise of storing all your passwords on a purely local password manager. It offers AES-256 bit encryption, the ability to group passwords, change/edit your records, change your master password and even import / export your database.

Well, if this is the best information you have on the creator of this app, your a bigger fool than I thought.
If you think anyone is so stupid enough as to use this app with this much info on the creator and company, then they deserve to be hacked.
You also don’t state what the companies servers software they use or explain any security of the company also, which is very lame.
My advice personally is everyone write to google and make them make it secure themselves. I will pay google, but not some 3rd party forum member.
This is like trusting a used car salesman.
Not researched very well at all this article.
Wonder if the writer of this story is friends with creator.
@Musad: Thanks for voicing your opinion! I agree that whenever you download an app, it’s best to do your homework and make good decisions. In addition to the summery I’ve provided above, you could research the developer’s profile ) or checkout their XDA thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16582741) or use other sources to get your answers before making any commitments. You’ll even find explanations for its permissions and the developer’s contact info for further details. Thanks again for your thoughts.
Ads or not, an app of this kind requiring full internet access is a big no-no.
