The free plan nets you little more than basic password management. Read on to see my thoughts on the platform and why you’re going to want to stay away from this password manager.īefore getting into the features, note that while SplashID does have a free plan, a majority of the features, such as multi-device use and automated backups, are only available on a paid plan. Because of this, I’m able to give you a thorough review regarding SplashID, and can tell you why the app’s free plan and support systems are so limited compared to its modern counterparts. I’ve reviewed over 70 password managers in the past. All of this in combination with a poor support system leave much to be desired. And if that is the case, those users will already be using a manager that provides them much better options. This is a big turn off and caters only to those who are experts in password management software. While it manages to store your information and even offers some decent organization features, it falls behind competitors like 1Password and RoboForm, which automate actions-like importing passwords and password capturing-that in SplashID, the user has to do manually. For the first time in my life, I actually feel secure carrying my private information in SplashID and have started to store my bank details and other login details on my phone.SplashID is one of the most limited password managers I’ve ever seen. It’s easy to spot and view a specific record, thanks to Categories and Types. SplashID looks elegant and I like how everything is categorized neatly and yet doesn’t feel overwhelming. This way, you’ll always be up to date where ever you are. There is also a sync feature so you can always sync your confidential records between your PC/Mac and your iPhone. I hope that there will be updates in the future for this feature. If you want to swap the order of the fields, you need to manually swap them by editing the field names and values. Unfortunately there is no way to change the order of the types in SplashID. I like how things are categorized like this which makes finding things so much easier. For example, you may have BSB and Account Number fields for Bank accounts but Username and Password for online web service credentials. When adding (or editing) a record type, you can change its icon, name of the type, and also the field names associated to that record type. There are already pre-defined types but you are free to add your own record type. Record types are more specifics to the records you are storing such as Bank details, Credit Cards, etc. Categories can be anything, for example Personal, Work, or any other things that you can think of. You can also go to the “Most Viewed” tab to see the frequently viewed items (which often are the only items you need to be included in SplashID).Įach record can be organized through Categories and Types. On the main application screen, you can see all your records that you have set-up through SplashID. You just have to make sure that your last screen is not something important or at least have the important fields masked (in which you can set on the item settings). I like this approach but unfortunately the app shows the last screen where you left it at for around a couple of seconds before the Login screen comes up. When you re-open the application, SplashID protects itself and you have to re-enter your password to re-open the application. It feels a bit laggy when I’m logging in using the patterns so hopefully the performance can be improved in the future. You put the password in by entering a combination of numbers or through a series of pattern (which is the same thing but probably easier to remember and to unlock). SplashID is a secure password manager application that uses a 256-bit Blowfish encryption to protect it from prying eyes. If you have an iPhone, you can carry this confidential info with you all the time, securely – thanks to SplashID app from SplashData. Or you can put them in a text file on your computer, but it’s not secure and you may not always be in front of your computer the whole time. You can write them on a piece of paper, which is a very bad practice. There are dozens of username, numbers, password, server IP address, and registration details to remember and frankly speaking, you may have trouble trying to remember them all (unless if you are using the same password for every thing).
