Just awful

Splendid unless you intend on using the damn thing. What. A. Mess.

Get this man an Apple Design Award!

This app is not only useful, its gorgeous streamlined interface will literally leave you speechless for hours. You'll have a blast as you tap, swipe, and pinch-to-zoom your way through this intuitive password tool.

The idea itself is somewhat clever. Concatenate your global password with the website name and your username, hash them, and use that as the random seed in the password generator.

Only downside with that the provider must be typed in exactly (but not case-sensitively) in order for it to work. "Did I type 'Apple'... or was it 'Apple ID'... 'iCloud'?"

Also if someone finds out your global password and knows you use this tool, it's no more secure than if you used the same password on all sites.

Neat idea, great execution, but a few flaws that will prevent me from ultimately using it.

That UI tho

Never have I seen a UI as simplistic and innovative on the AppStore as this one!

UI of the year!

Forget Daring Fireball's UI of the week, I think this app should get the UI of the year award. Don't know how someone could possibly 'beat' it.

Terrible interface

The Daring Fireball review is completely sarcastic and the developer does not seem to get that. The app became basically unusable as soon as I selected a text box because the keyboard popped up and wouldn't retract. The view is not scrollable with everything jammed on the screen, with part of the content under the status bar.

I do not recommend this app, just use iCloud Keychain.

FAQ

How does Password Engine generate passwords without storing them?

Password Engine uses a unique algorithm that computes your password based on a global code you choose and specific criteria you input. This ensures the password is the same each time for a given purpose but is never saved.

Is Password Engine secure?

Password Engine enhances security by not storing your passwords. However, for highly sensitive accounts like banking, it's recommended to keep those passwords memorized. The app's security relies on your chosen global code and the fact that generated passwords are never stored.

Can I use Password Engine offline?

Yes, the iPhone version of Password Engine requires no internet connection to function, allowing you to generate and recall passwords even without access to the internet.

What devices does Password Engine support?

Password Engine is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod. A web-based interface is also provided for access from any device with a web browser.

How often is Password Engine updated?

The latest version, 5.1, was released on March 6, 2023. Updates are provided by the developer, FairBornSon Software, to maintain functionality and security.

What is the age rating for Password Engine?

How do I change my password if I forget the global code?

If you forget your global code, you will not be able to display your generated passwords. The app's design relies on this code for retrieval, so it's crucial to remember it or have a secure way to store it separately.
