Codebook support

Great product and super technical support. They are very responsive to my questions.

Great life organizer

Codebook password manager is an essential app in organizing my daily life. I use it to store my id’s and passwords for my accounts and websites. Historically I would manage this data on a MS Word document but it wasn’t efficient. I have over 300 entries in Codebook and I use it throughout every day to access my websites and obtain my account/user data. I highly recommend it as it’s one of those must have life organizers. Easy to use, huge time saver, can backup your data, secure access - it’s my most used app on my phone

Stable, reliable

Been using the app for 10 years. Always stable & reliable with every update. I like how it’s simple & that I can organize based on my habits. Excellent!

Perfect

I have been using this password manager since it was STRIP (secure tool for recalling important passwords) on a Palm Pilot. I eventually moved my data forward to my iPhone, and have been using it ever since. I have accumulated hundreds of passwords, and find this software to be a perfect mix of security and use ability. Other password software automate things to the point that I feel I don’t have control. I can do that with this if I want to, but I don’t have to.

Great software. Decades of security and still going strong.

Best Password Manager

I have used this product for many years. It syncs between my phone and my desktop automatically. It saves pictures associated with general information I want to protect. I save photos and descriptions of my jewelry for security purposes. Plus I save combinations for safes. It is a versatile program that isn’t just for passwords but for all information that I want to stay safe.

Great App - Been Using it for Years.

Currently I’m still on an iPhone 7 Plus and Codebook has NEVER given me a problem. I love it. The only minor thing is the new icon. It has a little bit of a lower contrast than the previous one. That’s just a preference thing for me.
Keep up the good work!

The best for security

I asked AI about hacking:
“Your data is encrypted using AES-256-CBC with HMAC-SHA512 countermeasures against tampering, and the encryption key derivation uses 256,000 rounds of PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 with a unique random salt.
• Since Codebook doesn’t have its own servers, hackers are unlikely to bother trying to crack Codebook’s encryption — there’s no central server to target.
• It was rated “by far the most resilient app to password cracking” by Elcomsoft at Black Hat EU 2012.”

Works well with good support

I’ve used for years and find it very adequate. Integration with Chrome is working for me.

You can keep passwords locally securely

You can keep passwords locally securely with this, it can back up directly on a local network, so right there it’s better than most of the competition. What more do you need?

Easy

Having a Codebook that I can just look up ALL my passwords and not have to worry if I can’t remember or I’m
Not sure!

Fantastic

Have used Codebook for many years and I cannot brag enough about. Not only that is perfect for a multi device, multi OS environment but the very few interactions I had with their customer service were outstanding !

Codebook and support tea. Are the best‼️

I have used codebook forever, even back when it was Strip. Over time it has been anabsolute must have. I (loosely) have to administer 3 iPhones, 2 desktop machines, 2 iPads, 2laptops and 1 Chromebook. Needless to say, managing passwords across all those devices was a nightmare…but the folks at Zetetic have been superb in responding to any issues I’ve had and giving me answers to the many queries I’ve had over the years. My Codebook app has over a thousand categories, entries and separate items. Having the cloud sync feature with real time updates across these devices has been a game changer. GO TEAM ZETETIC

Great Personal Password Manager

Great personal password manager, have been using it around a decade now. Simple, secure and easy to use.

Great product.

Been using this app for years and it’s always been great. Being able to sync between devices is key. The few times I’ve needed support, I’ve always had timely and professional assistance.

Love this App

Don’t even remember just how long I’ve been using this App. It always works for me. On top of that it simply keeps getting better and better. Highly recommend

Trustworthy & Reliable

I’ve been securing log in credentials with Codebook for many years now and it has always worked as designed. One of my most relied upon apps for sure!

Codebook: What a Joy!

Why did I say, “What a joy”?

CodeBook, on my phone, notebook, and computers is so easy to use yet provides unsurpassed security for my hundreds of passwords and notes.

I love how easy and fast it is, using my WiFi LAN, to safely & quickly transfer/sync, using my WiFi LAN, for what I saved in my phone CodeBook, to my laptop’s CodeBook. I then use my Laptop’s CodeBook to transfer Codebook to the following: my 2nd phone, my Wife’s phone.

Depending on you preference,
CodeBook also offers a faster way to sync your stuff using their Cloud.

ALL their methods of syncing is heavily encrypted.

I have 6 devices which for years have synced perfectly, no errors! I can depend on CodeBook to keep my files safe, even from sophisticated prying eyes and equipment.

Personally, I especially like using theirNotes” section to not only record my passwords/pass phrases, but to include my personal notes related to the companies attached to those passwords.

They have an easy to use “Passwords” section; however, I like to use their “Notes” section for my passwords.

If you so choose to list your passwords in the “Notes” section, here is what I do:

I list the company Names alphabetically, so I can easily find them, then the password, user name, then any additional notes associated with that name.

I have so many passwords associated with company Names that I split the alphabet into 2 Notes: Pswds A-L
Pswds iM-Z

I also like the way Codebook allows the iPhone “Shake” to exactly put back anything I just mistakenly deleted.

I always Back Up stuff, including stuff in Codebook, so, in my phone CodeBook, I make BACKUPS of my A-L & M-Z Password Notes using “Copy & Paste”to create 2 more Notes:
Pswds A-L BkUp
Pswds M-Z BlUp

Then I Backup my phone to my Laptop
followed by backing up my laptop to my external hard drive.

Lastly, I appreciate the high level of effort given by the expert CodeBook techs, because they quickly respond to my occasional questions.

Great.

Their cloud makes it awesome

Good app

I’ve been using this application for a while. I appreciate the user-friendly interface. Easy to use, back up and file your various passwords

Real Encryption. Real Support.

I use Codebook because it focuses on keeping my passwords protected, but is very flexible and straightforward to use. I organize my passwords (and other sensitive data) how I want them—account by account.

However, I am writing this review because their customer support is first rate by any measure.

About a week ago, I found out that I couldn’t enter 90 year old dates in their date formatted field. Within 10 minutes of my email to support they had duplicated the limitation and opened a ticket. Today, they issued a general update that allows my 1935 date entries and emailed me to ask me to verify functionality.
