Rated 4 out of 5
by b r a i nCANDY, 2 years agoI have used this product for almost two years since they launched it or a major update to it anyway. And I have to admit, it wasnt doing the job optimally for sometime, but they have added more features that if there was a wizard that users could use that would optimize their use of it, that a user could run at any time or on a schedule, it would vastly improve and fix the glitches (see below).
an optimizer wizard: would look for multiple password managers and ask the user to turn the others off after importing their data, it would ask them to set a schedule for how often they have to log in their password, if they wanted to enter their password at startup and remind them that if they dont login to their browser within the time limit they set to reenter their password, that it will ask them to reenter their master password when the browser is relaunched in order for the extension to have permission to compare the open tabs with the password vault list,
or a
cleanup wizard or routine: would test and flag for removal bad logins/passwords/dead links, update old passwords to whatever user defined schedule, flag and remove passwords duplicate entries based on the whether or not they worked at the link or last time they were used (i believe that duplicate entries are a product of importing or using 2 password managers at the same time but maybe other reason that they need to work out). Im sure its tricky to do as each site has different ways of asking for username and password, sometimes on the same screen, sometimes successive screens. I do know that if you are running more than one password manager, either from the browser or from another 3rd party, that you are going to make a big headache for yourself.
I have been hacked and had stuff held for ransom that cost me $1000s. Once that happens, you know that all these settings that are annoying are there for a good reason. I think they could do better at reminding people that open tabs may be logged out for their protection and also give them the option of extending the time that they would like to stay logged on.
