There’s no instructions or technical support ### 1/5 — OBSOLETE APP!!!! *2020-10-22, version 1.5.0* Update 10/22/20: developer contacted me asking what special characters are giving me a problem. Each site is different in what they reject: $,&,*,! and ? Have all been rejected by various sites. Please create a toggle to remove special characters from password generation. AT&T and Xfinity are two major sites that reject characters. This App has become OBSOLETE!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR PURCHASE!!! It generates passwords with special characters rejected by the majority of apps and websites making it useless. WHAT A WASTE. ### 1/5 — Taylor *2014-05-13, version 1.0.2* This app won't let me open it when I open it it goes black. Please help me it won't work ### 3/5 — Nice idea but fail in practical application. *2022-02-13, version 1.5.1* It’s true as the other said, special character does create troubles. Some websites ruled its password policy that it must contains all sort of special characters while some other websites prohibit some particular special characters to be in the password combination. This leads to the inconsistency of application. **Developer response:** Yes, this is indeed an issue. Many sites require passwords to contain some special characters to make them more secure, and most at least allow them. So the passwords generated contain a set of commonly used such characters (like $!& etc) to make the passwords useful in the majority of cases. But a minority of sites (often with older less secure systems) don't allow specific special characters, meaning you can't use the dotpass generated passwords for them. EDIT: With the 1.5.5 update there's now a way to copy the generated passwords without any special characters, which should be helpful in situations like these where the site has restrictions on allowed characters. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2020-01-17, version 1.4.6* Unfortunately, missing special characters in passwords, 3-stars ### 3/5 — What's still missing *2015-03-17* Needs a password or Touch ID to open the app. I don't want anyone trying out pattern and keyword combos. Needs an option to store keywords so that I don't have to type them in all the time. Needs an option to generate longer passwords. Nine is pretty good but on certain accounts I would like longer. Also this last update says you can tap on dots to edit. That doesn't appear to work. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback. I haven't added a password or touch-id since there's nothing to protect in the app by design. This is also why I don't want to save the seedwords you've used, as this would be something that could be stolen or lost and require protection. But you'll be happy to know that you can now have 18 character passwords as well. And you can edit the patterns, just tap the lines between the dots to remove, not the dots. ### 5/5 — Love the update. *2022-07-23, version 1.5.5* Have had and used this utility for years. Fantastically useful and easy to use without being overly time consuming. ### 5/5 — 5 🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2020-10-30, version 1.5.0* Good work ### 5/5 — Does as described *2020-03-28, version 1.4.6* Perfect If you’re having a problem, you’re doing something wrong. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — brilliant! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2019-01-09, version 1.4.3* not perfect - as honestly declared by the developer- still a brilliant solution for a friendly and free password manager cyber security is nothing but a time thing, remember the mainframe in the Mission Impossible movie? it was offline... nothing leaves your device, all stands in your mind - it can’t be hacked if Agent Smith does not have you.. memorize a pattern (or more) and memorize a guess word for your password retrieving: you’re done! and pretty safe 😊 ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great idea *2017-11-23, version 1.4.2* BUT,no special characters ### 5/5 — Ottima applicazione *2016-01-20, version 1.1.0* Non credevo davvero ottima per generare pw e per sentirsi più tranquilli .....👍👍 ### 5/5 — Perfect app but?!! *2015-09-07, version 1.0.5* Very cool application but needs to set a password to him Thanks ### 5/5 — Nice App *2015-08-04* I wanted a simple app that would generate unique passwords to sites and apps without having to store them. Using the same design and word on any device creates the same code. You have access to your codes even if using it on a friend's device (providing they have the app) ### 5/5 — Great *2014-11-09, version 1.0.4* Good update. Solid functionality. Only suggestion would be a larger UI on iPad. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
