See all

I just bought this so can't really write a thorough review. However, I spotted a huge omission and since the developer seems to be listening, I'll add it here: there is no import function! There's no way I'm going to enter in a couple hundred passwords manually. So within 5 minutes, I've reached an impasse. I'll keep going for the time being just to see how the rest of the app works...

Version 1.0

Yep, it's abandonware. What a shame. It really was only an update or two from being serious contender. Throw this on the pile with other fantastic apps, like "On The Job" or "Aperture", that dead end and leave you with another ugly data migration on your hands.

It really is burning me out supporting developers who come up with great products but can't seem to find the follow through to, you know, *develop them.* More and more I feel like I'm wasting my time with these people. You want to know how big companies win? THIS is how they win.

I feel like this could have been a four or five star app but I want to give this company one star for abandoning it. So let's split the difference, huh?

I just wanted the final word on this "app"... Don't bother ever... it will be years before this dev ever creates the iphone and/or iPad versions so it will only ever do 1/3rd of a job. I now use Safe+ and it is totally brilliant, it syncs perfectly between the Mac, iPad and iPhone versions, everything is customisable and it secures in 256 bit encryption. I have no connection with the Safe+ dev but I have contacted him and he replies and is helpful !! unlike BN whose replies are usually abrupt and unhelpful even if or when they bother...

Version 1.2.1

Works ok neat and well designed.....except for the fact they appear to have given up supporting it. months since the firefox extension stopped working, no replies from support. no iPad version so not really a very good allround password manager. quite disappointed with Binary Nights

The Firefox plugin is still NOT SIGNED, which means it gets disabled by FF. You can turn it back on though, search in FireFox Help for the about:config setting.

Locko looks like abandone ware though.

Thanks for the reply Hermie, found out how to change the ff setting here http://tinyurl.com/golpg5o , plus there is an add-on for changing about:config,
works now thanks but the dev is still a loser for not bothering to reply.
They will be expecting me to pay for an update to Forklift 3 if they ever finish it.
Fat chance of them getting any more money from me if the ( lack of ) support for that is as bad as Locko.

BinaryNights just emailed me back saying they want to release Forklift 3 before looking at Locko. In the mean time I read on Firefox Help somewhere that starting with the next major update to FF 47 the about:config trick won't work anymore. Which means I'll then dump Locko and switch to 1Password probably.

I know they want to finish Forklift but how long must it take to just sign the FF extension, that is all we are asking for, I honestly think that Binary Nights is just one person, you were lucky to get an email if they ( or he or she ) is that busy 24 hours a day. I'll believe it when I see it...

Firefox 48 disables the Locko plugin permanently, no more workaround. Dev has done nothing at all to get it signed, as expected. So goodbye Locko!

Had a look at the BN site and the firefox extension is dated 24th Dec 2016, so they may have updated it for Christmas, however I deleted Locko ages ago so too little too late BN !

I have now bought safe+ and although that does not work with firefox it is available on Mac OS and iOS and syncs via wifi perfectly between the mac. ipad and iphone with 256-bit AES encryption and i can add custom icons. Fantastic and highly recommended.

I tried FL3 but it is very buggy and tries to do too much so I have bought Yummy ftp and that works perfectly too.

I wish Bn well but you can only wait so long for a product that works !

Its cheaper than half price compared to 1Password, it does the same job. It syncs using iCloud like Keychain, it automatically backs itself up. It has an add on for every browser. it works smoothly and easily. Money well spent.

Version 1.2.1

I downloaded this to test it. I like the idea of this because it so much cheaper that 1 Password. However the Lockohelper crashes all the time and so it is worthless to me, I have extensions installed on Chrome and Safari but they just won't work without the helper.

Sorry I take it all back, I took a risk, uninstalled the demo and bought it on the MAS, it now works perfectly

Locko is currently FREE! If you go to the App Store, this is what you will find: *** Free until the iOS version is available *** I am currently using 1Password v.3, and am not going to pay to upgrade to 1Password v.4, so "bought" Locko now so it is in my App Store purchase history, as I may use it in the future if 1Password v.3 quits working on me.
