Passbox Editor's Review
It is not even worth emphasizing the necessity of a professional password manager, especially since everything today is properly encrypted and secured. Whether you set up a new username for your operating system, a new e-mail account or a fresh account on your favorite gaming website, such thing are properly secured. The good news is that you got plenty of solutions, but some of them simply stand up in the crowd. PassBox is one of these programs. It can be used without any costs at all, but it cannot be integrated at all into your browser.
Passbox works nicely with all modern versions of Windows including Windows 8. The installation is easier than for other programs. You can forget about downloading and clicking next for a few times. The developer has brought in a web installation. However, if there is one basic necessity you must have, that is the necessity of .NET Framework 4 on your operating system. Unless you got Microsoft's platform installed, it is practically impossible to use PassBox. The installation will not even go on.
The program does exactly what it is supposed to do. Once you run the software for the first time, you will be asked for a main password. It has to be confirmed, while you also have the possibility to get it sent to a personal mail address. This is a good idea in case you forget it, but also part of a vicious circle. If someone gains access to your e-mail account, all your passwords are compromised. This is even more dangerous if you share the computer with others. Plus, most users have reported a series of problems while trying to retrieve their passwords. It seems to be a dead end. If you choose the forgotten password menu, you will encounter a SMTP error. In order to actually use this link, you must be authenticated. Therefore, there are no ways to retrieve a password, since you cannot login if you have actually lost it.
The interface is minimalist and simple. Operating the program is piece of cake. You have the option to create a new database, take a look over the entries and even generate some hard-to-guess passwords. However, working on the entries may seem a little too annoying. Practically, each entry has multiple fields that have to be completed, otherwise, it is rejected. Each of them asks for a security question. PassBox is obviously created to be secure, but there are situations when it is simply too pushy. Names, website links – which can be accessed from this program, a password and a login are also asked for. If you are not sure what kind of password to pick, the program can generate sophisticated passwords of lower and uppercase letters, numbers or characters. They can have a hundred characters in length too, so this is a plus.
As for other technical characteristics, Passbox saves all the passwords by encrypting it with various MD5 and DES algorithms. It is next to impossible for any other personal program to break the algorithm and access the passwords stored. Passwords can only be accessed via Passbox. Unfortunately, there is no feature to backup entire set of passwords. In case of hardware failure, all the passwords are gone and are impossible to get back. PassBox allows you to lock the program, which is great for the moments when you are not in front of your computer. However, you can do it in two different ways – select this option or just close the application. The effect is the same, so it is hard to tell what the developers had in mind. Plus, closing the application implies restarting it in order to gain access to your database. The good thing is that it does not require too much RAM memory to run. You will not even feel it running in the background.
Positive Points:
- Quick Installation and minimalistic interface.
- Built-in Password generator.
- Extremely light on system resources.
Negative Points:
- Forgot Password options sometimes throws up an SMTP error.
- It does not have ‘auto fill’ feature for Web browsing.
- No Password backup option.
Conclusion:
In a world badly needing cyber security, we definitely need a secure tool to manage our passwords. Passbox is pretty secure with brilliantly written encrypting algorithms. It comes with some extra features like Password Generator and App Locking. It still needs to go a long way as many features need to be developed or improved. If you are looking for a basic offline solution, it might suit you. It is not for professional users who need online integration and backup. Online Password Managers might be a good solution for them.
