There were a lot of password manager apps for Android/Nexus One. I realized it was already time to say goodbye to Passpack. The ‘Copy’ utility copied some weird link instead of my username/password. Secondly, Passpack provides a 1-click ‘Copy-to-clipboard’ functionality which is very necessary to copy/paste usernames or passwords to various sites. I had no way of editing or even copying information from there. Every time I zoomed in or out, the pop-up kept throwing itself off the screen, and it was impossible to navigate to it. When I clicked on an entry, it opened in a pop-up like window to show the details, and the pop-up was designed to position itself at the center of the browser screen. All worked well so far.īut (and that’s a big ‘but’), navigating Passpack in my Nexus One seemed to be very troublesome. And it seemed very convenient to use from the PC. As I expected, Passpack offers a nice and effective ‘Import’ tool with which I got all my info from KeePass database into Passpack. Now I needed to get all my account info into my Passpack account. There are a number of websites that offer such service, among which Passpack and Clipperz seemed to be more popular. That would solve my problem, since I would then be able to access it from any PC as well as my N1. How do I traverse the web in my shiny new N1, if I don’t have my passwords with me? Well, the first thing that came into my mind was to go for an online solution, where I would be able to manage my passwords through an web-based application. Now, the problem re-appeared since I got my Google Nexus One a few days ago. The issue of syncing between two computers was easily taken care of with Dropbox.
Some time ago, I found out about KeePass– an open source, desktop based password management software- and it seemed very appropriate for my need. I have always found it a pain t to manage my passwords and account information across my home and work computers.
