FW Password Manager

Most online interaction these days comes with at least some form of embedded security to it. Be it passwords, captcha or more advanced procedures. When it comes to passwords, both defining and also memorizing them can be challenging and dedicated tools to help with that “struggle”. FW Password Manager will help users create, store and even test their passwords’ strength, all from a single, minimalist program.

In order to use the app as intended (basically, a password vault), one must first define a master password for logging-in. The app automatically assesses the password strength as you type it in. Although also present on similar apps, we believe that this feature adds a nice touch, right from the start.

One thing that could have been useful, is a “sneak-preview” button, which could allow those having a hard time with keyboards, some help when typing in their password.

As with most vault-type apps, FW Password Manager runs on the principle of storing a password database, each being customizable with loads of details. For instance, besides the actual password itself, one can add details such as a description, corresponding website, or even notes.

A nice dedicated, password advice tab is filled with tips and tricks for defining a stronger, more reliable password. Although seemingly common, the provided advice is useful and it’s rarely completely accounted for when users create passwords.

If you’re having trouble remembering your credentials for certain websites or you simply wish to test their strength, this application offers you the chance to do both and even more if required.
