Wilhelmina

The usage of password manager tools has been on an uptrend in the last few years, and with so many data breaches and vulnerabilities coming out, users need to do their best to ensure the security of their accounts. Keeping each of your logins in one such tool can help you organize everything better, too — if there's an account you need, you'll know where to look for it, essentially.

However, those who are not necessarily fond of having their data on the cloud may have a hard time picking out a password manager. Wilhelmina, a free and offline solution, keeps it simple, and helps store your passwords in a secure environment.

As you might expect, no cloud syncing functionality is available here. Due to this, users will have to manage all of their accounts locally, so being able to carry over your information seamlessly from one device to another won't really be possible. The possibility to sync data via SSH does exist, however, but casual users might find it a bit difficult to set up initially.

This may be a simple password manager, but it does the job well. Some users might even prefer the offline-first approach, as it can work to make your data even more secure. Not having contact with the internet can indeed be a good thing in this case.

The functionality you would expect from a password manager is pretty cleat-cut: the vault is the most important place where your data will be stored. That's the case here, too: add your accounts, and go as in-depth as you want with your descriptions. Add a title to each of your accounts to more easily navigate your vault, specify the suitable website for the login credentials, and include any worthwhile details under the Notes field.

A password generator function is available, and you can modify the algorithm a little by modifying the password length under Preferences. Access to the app will be safeguarded by a certain Master Passphrase, which ought to not be forgotten.

Wilhelmina is a password manager that you may or may not be a fan of: the decidedly offline approach is certainly interesting to see in this day and age, which makes this take on managing one's passwords nevertheless worth heeding.
