Password Manager: Dataviz's PasswordPlus

Ever having problems on how to keep your list of passwords and usernames together, as secrets but accessible anytime you need one of them?

In Android and iOS, there are tons of password manager apps, from paid to free, localized to online. But which is better?

The answer is of course depending on what you need. Not one is better nor worse. I can tell you my experience which I think will help a bit.

I have used several password manager myself. Like everyone, I have so many access usernames and passwords that it gave me a headache to remember them all, despite the similarity of the usernames and passwords. So, I decided to use password manager to simplify my life.

Easy enough, I have tons of options. However, just last year, Dataviz, the maker of Documents Togo, published a new app called PasswordPlus. It's basically a paid app. But it has several features that I like.

The advantages :
+ single access master password to remember
+ quite a versatile database entry system
+ sync to PC, Mac OS, Android, and iOS with multiple units on each platform
+ Dataviz doesn't keep you sync keys so only you have it

The disadvantages :
- not even Dataviz has your sync key
- rather slow synchronization
- lose the master password or sync key means losing all your data

I have been using PasswordPlus for about 6 months and I must say I'm impressed. I don't easily impressed with password manager and this one is basically has all the stuff I need. Synchronization across gadgets is a benefit I don't expect to praise. Meaning anytime you need, you access any device you have and it's there. Whether it is a bank account, online access, cloud access or anything, PasswordPlus prepares the entry system securely.

However, there is a precaution. I had the most unlucky scenario that even Dataviz didn't expect to happen. All my smartphones were damaged : Samsung Galaxy Note required a power board replacement, Asus Padfone 2 required mother board replacement, and I have no clue what my HTC Desire VC needed a replacement, and worse I have no laptop to go back to. Hence all access to PasswordPlus sync key are gone. So when I log in to my master password, PasswordPlus asked my sync key from of of my device and it's not there. So. If you want to use PasswordPlus, make sure you keep the sync key in a locked safe written manually.

Otherwise it is the best password manager I have ever used.
