Beware! I recently updated to 1.7 (from 1.6) and today when I went to add more data I found all of my previous passwords, SNs, etc. were gone. I should have everything on my B/U HD, but who likes to waste time? And 1.7 now features a nag screen...
This application is great, work for me. Interface is great plus it's free. My buy the full version soon, I was trying to keychain before but it kept asking me to enter passwords that did not know.
Tried it did not work. Try searching, WHAT SEARCH !
Ha this really bites, the big one as far as usefulness
use yojimbo, It rocks, this is a waste of time. VT gave it so many good reviews so I tried it.. I lost my serials that I had put in just for tests. How. did a back up then installed the back up data base only to see that the #'s were gone.. Do not waste your time. Look at Yojimbo and it is intel ready
Ah yes, a little program called Keychain Access seems to do something similar :)
Sometimes Keychain Access loses everything on a keychain though when it becomes corrupt, as my login keychain did recently.
There's a bunch of free and shareware general purpose notebook which feature strong encryption that will do, besides Yohimbo. Journler could do it, and it's free. A more flexible option, and if your records aren't stored in one-big-database, should be safer to use.
I personally find apps which feature encryption as well as misspellings or typos in the GUI elements to be too dodgy to use. Sorry, iSafe.
Maybe it would be paranoid but how can i know it doesn't send my passwords ? Maybe it collects and sends all of our bank and password info periodically ? It can be spyware ! I can not trust such as type of programs. It is just my comment
It is a very nice app and I started to use it daily.
But to be honest i dont like the "Show/Hide" buttons set (the first reveals the password for selected record, the second hides it again). In my opinion it's better to not show the password, but simply copy it to clipboard
Second improvment is for bank accounts template: since most home banking service have TWO passwords, one for access and one for bank movments, you should just have to add a field
This is a very nice app, but two things will make it an awesome app and earn a total 5-star rating:
1. An import/export feature. I don't want to enter all of my password data from Pastor or SecretBook again. And I'd like to generate a list of password to share with a sysadmin (hence, export).
2. Fix the non-sequential, jumping tab issue. Hitting the tab key doesn't make the next field highlight, but highlights something else unexpectedly.
I am disappointed with the user interface on this app. The window is not resizable - badly needed. Using the tab key causes the curser to jump several fields.
MacUpdate calls this "free" while the author says it's $15 shareware. Worst of all to me - the pop up every seven minutes telling you to check the web site for a newer version coming out soon. To me that makes this "persterware."
I'll check back later to see if it has improved...
The Tab issue and a couple of other things has been fixed in version 0.1.3 . iSafe is free, there was a mistake when it was published which has now been corrected.
There are currently no troubleshooting comments. If you are experiencing a problem with this app, please post a comment.
