Any suggestions? Would like something that I can use both on my phone and on my computer that will sync together easily.

I came across KeePass and SplashId. Anyone have any experience with either of these? Or any other option for that matter?


thanks

Chet

KeePass is great on the PC. Don't know about an Android App.

ayce

Try Lastpass

I have been using SplashID for Palm, PPC and Blackberry for years. I just found out they have a version for Android and since I just got the Droid...I am going to get that as soon as I can...Never used the other one.

I have been using KeePass on my Windows systems and Linux systems for years and it has been great. I just installed the Android version this weekend and so far so good. I just transferred the file over manually to my SD card and no issues.

Keepass, it's free, encrypted, and syncs well with PC.

geobernd

+1 for SplashID
Having it on the main Computer and on the Droid with easy sync is very important to me.
Had been using it for 6+ month on the G1 before - no issues...

ToxMox

I concur.

DGalt

Does any of these (or any others) allow you to fill in the login information on websites (like roboform does)?

ToxMox

LastPass does this.

DGalt

one of the comments for lastpass was that it doesn't use the default browser. is this true? why doesn't it?

bthoward

keepass is on the droid. Thats awesome! I use KeePassX on my linux box at home a windows client at work and now poof I have my account on the go. Now I just wish there was a dropbox client as thats what I use to keep things in sync as far as my database. Keepass even supports having the key file that you've hashed your file against as well as a password.

DGalt

so lastpass won't actually auto fill in the standard android browser, right? you have to go in to lastpass and actually launch the the site from in there.

strange. don't know if I like that.

silverhack

I've never heard of lastpass before. I was previously using PassPack. I'm trying out lastpass and after only using it for 30 minutes, I already like it much better!

Thanks!

AaronT

any one know of any others to try? i have been using eWallet but it does not look like they are moving fast enough to develop an android version.

i need a password manager that can sync with PC or the Web.
looked at keepass, splashId, lastpass and i dont like any of them. i could live with keepass but i want to see other options.

gizbug

I also have ewallet on pc, need something for the droid / sync with droid.

johnlgalt

+1 for KeePass on the DROID.

Been using KeePass for a very long time, after switching from Password Agent, and I have never looked back.

I haven't played with keypss but I'm assuming it suffers from the same faults as the others, which is it doesn't have any auto fill-in feature. My issue isn't remembering the passwords. Its more of a laziness thing.plus it would be even more useful on the droid since special characters are a pain to type in. Looking for something where I can enter one master password and then not have to worry about entering any more (at least not until the app locks itself after a specific amount of time of nonuse)

johnlgalt

There isn't an auto fill feature as far as I have seen (as of yet) but there is a manual copy user name and copy password feature that I have had to use once.

gizbug

SplashID seems VERY Overpriced! 9.99 for a droid app, plus 29.99 for desktop. No thanks. Cheaper to go with a word file IMO.
Hopefully ewallet or that Keepass (when v2 is updated to work on droid) comes out soon.

michaelk

if people already have splashid that seems to make sense just to get an updated android client and off they go. But if you have to change anyway then I'd vote keepass.

I used ewallet and they have no quick plans for android so I just used the importer for keepass and presto chango in like 10 minutes I was good to go. (you need to use 1.6 on the pc so the same data works both on droid and on pc's). I use mesh.com to manually sync. I actually put the standalone keepass windows client up there too and i can download that and the database to any pc with web access and have what i need.

hopefully soon it will get updated to autosyncing too from the droid- that sounds way too cool.

BRR

I use keypass, its great, except for the syncing between computers. But i use dropbox for that. i'm just wating for the android client to be released.

keypass lets you copy your user name and password to the clipboard and then you can paste them instead of having to manually type them.

Skywaterbanjo

I've been using 1Password on my Mac and ipod Touch. Would love to see them port it to Andoid.

ricktssf

I am using Password Vault... It seems to be working just fine, it is simple, and it is free.

AaronT

i just found b-folders B-Folders for Android its very nice but no desktop yet, they say they are working on it. you can make a backup copy to the sd card and backup sd to pc.

b-folders: Excellent find -- exactly what I was looking for. One thing it's missing is a way to define custom types. Apart from that it's excellent.

Ditto on keepass.

I've used it for years. I store all of my ids, passwords, license codes, etc on it and use on my droid, windows desktop, linux desktop and carry it on my keychain/usb drive via PortableApps.

john30308

I've used SplashID forever, but can't get it to sync on the Droid after hours of trying.

oceanlight

another vote for keepass

daytona

lastpass charges $1/mo for android sync, which is a dealbreaker for me. I'd pay up to $50 for a good password manager, but reoccurring fees are out of the question. Guess i'll try keepass.

G35 Mass

I'm looking for a program like this but that facilitates storing account info for credit cards, etc. Haven't found one yet.

JeffMull

Just asked Roboform support whether they had any plans to port Roboform to Droid. Answer: " Currently the Droid is not yet supported. It is currently being tested. No ETA"


So it looks like we'll get Roboform eventually. Excellent!

Read the rest of this thread. Try B-Folders and SecForms.

rlandon

Keeper! It's free (on Market) and has been approved for government use using 128-bit encryption. You can also get the pc version. Using it on mine as is my boss on our Moto Droids.

Nepherim

Just a heads-up to others, it's called Keeper! real name is "Keeper Password & Data Vault". It doesn't have templates for non-password info (it does have notes). Personally though, I wouldn't trust a password app that has full net access, and doesn't enforce minimum master password length/complexity.

well, after reading all this, I just tried keepass and oisafe. Keepass worked pretty well. Desktop version imported my database (csv file) pretty well. Had to modify the csv file to make it fit the fields of keepass, but it was easy. Keepass (desktop version) exports an encrypted file that the android version can read. worked pretty well. you have to manually put the file onto your sd card which isnt that big a deal. I'd prefer syncing, but this is just as easy. Fonts on the android version are big, i mean really big, but it's usable. My favorite is still ascendo datavault for blackberry, but they don't seem to have plans on releasing an android version.

oisafe looks better graphically (better designed UI), but i couldnt for the life of me figure out how to import a csv file. tried using their field order and everything, just got a weird error saying that the first fields are empty. Since i have a couple hundred logins/passwords/accts/etc, i need to have something that can import a database.

Been a longtime user of splashid since treo/winmo/bb . Before I shell out another $10 to them (I feel like I am personally funding them), is anyone on this forum using it with the droid, and does it sync well (like it has with the other platforms). I have been very happy with this program, but some of the comments from the market make it seem like it has problems syncing...

geobernd

I was using it on the G1 - now using it on the Droid. No Sync problems whatsoever (PC is Win 7 with 64 bit - before Vista 64bit)

HotDawg

Splash ID user here. I don't mind the cost, it works well and I like the desktop sync, and I can set set up two droids to the one desktop.

john30308

I also used SplashID for years on my Treo's. I bought the Android version for my Droid but after hours of trying to get it to sync I'm still stuck. I switched to keepass.

boatman

If I understand Keepass correctly, it doesn't seem like it syncs. I need something that when I update my desktop, it automatically will update my droid and vice versa. Does it do this?

john30308

Keepass does not sync. You have to save the file on the desktop version and then transfer the file to the handheld. It's worked for me so far, but I'm only making minimal changes - most of my stuff is static (credit cards, memberships, etc.). I expect I'll have to transfer the file once a month. If you want real syncing, it's not for you. But try it - its free.

jackburnt

Keepass doesn't sync. However, most of us (I think) use Dropbox in conjunction with Keepass to keep it update.

Just waiting for Dropbox for Android now. You can download files through the website, so you can "update" your database as needed.

Try SugarSync. They have an Android version already out. But I prefer Dropbox over SugarSync, so I'm waiting.

I use Secrets.

dr_trousers

I'm guess I'm unclear on what these do. I can not sync my droid to lotus notes for work email (yea, I said notes, what is this, 1993?). I can only check emails through the web interface. Can any of these apps auto-save my very alpha-numeric username and password so I dont have to type everytime I check email?

sinned

i just installed SecForms its pretty B/A and does what i need it to do i think you will be happy with it as well...

stevo

Forgive me if i'm posting in the wrong thread, but does anyone know the best/easiest way to transfer BB password keeper info to Droid? I don't need pc access, but will do whatever i must to avoid re-entering all that info!

Eugene

I was looking at keypass for droid and it looks ;like it only supports the keepass 1.x databases but keypass 2.x is the only one that runs on linux. Anyone else using it, can the 2.0 version be run but leave the password file n the 1.x format?

stevo

after much research and debate i went with Keeper. it was the only app i could find that would sync seamlessly with my droid. desktop version is $30 very happy with it tho...

123td4

LastPass only fills in passwords on a Droid if you use the LastPass browser. A post on the LastPass chat board from one of their developers says that the limitation is that the Android browser does not support plug-ins. I am not sure if this is still true today...

So, this makes me ask: Has anybody found a password manager for a Droid that will fill in Login IDs and Passwords for the Android browser?

Thanks
