CNET Editor Review:
We really liked this programs no fuss, no muss approach to protecting login information. We recommend it for all users. Organizing login information is a painless process with this user-friendly password manager. Novices will especially appreciate its straightforward user interface.
Dorte Scheeler, freelance translator:
I have been using the PasswordManager for years and I don’t know what I would do without it! I do all my shopping, banking and planeticket buying online and I have so many passwords that I used to write down in a little book. Then I heard about PasswordManager, tried it out and since then I have been recommending it to all my fellow translators. It is a great product, easy and simple to use and I think it should be pre-installed on every computer that is sold.
Claude L:
Thank for the great application. Easy to install, easy to use and interface very well designed.
Stefan:
Nice program. Simple and platform-independent. I have it on my USB-Stick, so I have all my passwords with me, even when I have to use other computers. Keep it that simple
Regards, Stefan

I spent 2 hours today looking for a decent Java, cross platform app to track my passwords. Your app is the best of the 25 I tested.
Jun:
Wonderful password manager working both on WindowsXP and Linux! Abandoned shareware I was using and already paid. That only works on Widows.

Will this run on a 64 bit Vista machine? I have Java Runtime installed but app will not launch.
How do I get the icon to start the program? When I put it on my desktop and click it( the icon) it simply opens up photo gallery. When I drag the program to the desktop, the icon stays separate.
Great software. Been using it on slackware-linux, without a problem.
However, when I try to run it on the Debian/lenny distrobution, I get a window that says “file does not exist” but no indication what file it cannot find.
Excellent programme, multiplateforme et stable. Merci pour ce soft désormais indispensable !
French to English Translation: Excellent program, and stable platform. Thank you for this app now essential!
Thanks. Great little program. Freeware which I like. Small, which I like. Platform independent and portable which is becoming more important. Useful, which I really like.
Any chance that attributes might be renamed in a future update? (ok, played around with ini file, you can change them there… documentation for the masses?
Definable number of attributes?
Timeout values smaller than 5 minutes for the traveler and paranoid geek who likes options? (30 seconds, 1, 2 minute) Maybe tied in with power save or screen save routines. If I step away or get side tracked by a question, I would like to know this will lock faster. (looks like this can be set to 1 in ini file)
One click synchronise to an options set usb location for the travelers who use both portable and desktop machines. No it doesn’t take much to copy the files, but for ease of use it might be nice.
Just a few thoughts after some testing. Again, thanks for a great utility!
AWESOME password mgmt app for a USB stick.
One gotcha: due to filesystem differences across OS’s, you may get a “File Not Found” error when moving between e.g. Mac OS X and XP. To get around this, simply edit the .ini file so it references your main .pwd file locally in the FILE NAME = ./master.pwd instead of FILE NAME = /Volumes/…etc. … et voila, you can bring the USB stick w/ you and use PasswordDragon on BOTH OS’s going back and forth between them. Love it.
I also spent a lot of time looking for a PM; was using Whisper32, but no upgrade. Yours is the best I’ve found for my purposes. I looked for an enhancement list, but no luck – so here’s a little suggestion for the program (or two) -) I would love to be able to print each PW with all memos and column heads (selectable) on letter sized paper for a PW book to keep off site. Also, it would be wonderful if the column heads were floating, so drag & drop to desired location and add/remove column heads from the file. Hope that makes sense. I need to put the email address I use in one of the columns, and can’t manage to shift the titles around easily. Also, when I print out a copy, I can only print Acct name, User ID, URL, Notes, and Category. The rest of the information won’t print for me. Still working on it with Excel. Thanks for an excellent product!
