Password Safe

works great, a lot of entering your passwords. Dont use your name, bday, kids bday, make a password for this thatis complicated but that you can remember.

Such a great idea for passwords. Now you can keep track of them without putting passwords on a piece of paper laying around the house, car or worse your purse

So far (after about a month) this seems to be a pretty useful little gadget. The keyboard is a bit tricky (as others have noted). The "shift" key enables use of the special characters on many of the keys, rather than shifting to upper case, as one might expect, the latter handled by the separate "Caps Lock" key. It is a bit tricky (with bigger fingers) to hold down the "shift" key and then hit one of the other keys simultaneously, to get the special character on that key, as the red on/off key is just below the "shift" key, and easy to hit accidentally. The arrow keys require a bit more pressure to activate than one might expect. The "action" key is useful is backing out of other menus. The "search" modality is case-sensitive, which I would change, since sometimes you might miss an entry if you've forgotten what case you entered it in. There are only a limited number of characters available to use when entering data into the "notes" section for an entry, which I would expand, in case you want to enter a longer note. I can't really tell how much of the memory I have used, or the level of the battery charge, since I have been unable to find out if there is (are) any function(s) built in to allow one to monitor these. The auto-off function in settings is a useful feature. All in all though, the device seems sturdy, it's pretty easy to enter data, and I like the screen. Hence the four-star rating.

Bought Password Safe 090419, delivered 090719. It measures 4-7/8" (12cm) by 3-1/2" (9 cm) wide & about 1" thick (it tapers to 3/8").Cons: no comma, semi-colon, lower case x looks like H, & I couldn't get the - to work.Pros: Easy to handle & make entries, backlight really helps in a darkened room.Eval: I entered 5 URLs with passwords (recorded elsewhere) and edited each in turn. After entering a new password I turned the device off, then on again. None of the other URLs or passwords were erased or altered in any way (previous complaint). You can enter passwords of 20 to 22 characters (it varies), depending on which characters are used. Since my passwords are longer I often wrote "see below" in the password area and entered the password in the Notes area. I also made comments like "entry #3 is a small X, not an H", or "character = is a dash -" , or " : is a comma"., etc. Screen entries are much easier to read than entries made on the Royal Password Vault, which I evaluate elsewhere. I would have evaluated other competitors, but no one sent me one.Summary: This is a useful, easy to use device for recording spur-of-the-moment passwords. It may also keep you from logging in to untrustworthy networks while traveling. Stars were reduced because the comma, semi-colonand dash were omitted.Worth having, worth the money, glad I bought it. 4.8 Stars. CDW

This is a great way to store all of your passwords. I feel more secure using a separate device than storing them using the cloud or anything on my computer. You only need to remember one master password. You type the master password when you access it. Then you can put in the web site, the user name, and the password. No more sheets with hints. You can also put in bank account numbers, and credit card account numbers.Two things I had to figure out when I started to use it.1) If you want to get the red punctuation marks above the numbers, don't press the red key. If you do you will turn the device off and then have to input your password again. Instead use the shift key.2) If you want to go back to the previous action, press the red line just below the word action (which is just below the window).Other than these two things it was totally intuitive. I have started using random passwords and will no longer be using the same passwords for more than one site. My data will definitely be more secure,I am pleased that the device will not lose the passwords when you change the batteries.Best of all, it is the same device sold on the Sharper Image website, with free shipping : )

I recently purchased the Password Vault here to store my many passwords in a safe & secure manner instead of writing it on paper and hope nobody else ever gets a hold of that paper.Good points so far: Entry Pin.....great feature which keeps unauthorized idiots from seeing your passwords. Fairly easy to use for the most part. Compact size and runs on 3 AAA batteries. Plus it has a backlight feature if needed.Bad points so far: If you have a password with many security questions or other notable items for a particular website, you cannot get it all in the "notes" section they have. This is a serious issue for me. Also, the qwerty keyboard has such tiny buttons....but that's just a minor issue. Oddly when I am typing in a new entry for this item....I cannot move the cursor over the letterings they already have in the unit [ID or PW for example], I have to retype them again. Also the LCD panel is rather smallish.Overall, this item is a nifty and good thing to have if you have a lot of passwords you use regularly and want to keep them safe from crooks or nosey idiots and to curb ID Theft. The PIN just to get into this Password Vault is a very good idea indeed.I gave this item 3 of 5 stars mostly because of the few drawbacks I have noticed so far. I intend to keep this and will use it. If they only had more room to store information in the "Notes" section, I would have given this a 4 of 5 stars most likely.

Worth every penny
