Great Support

Great to have all my passwords in one place on my iPhone and iMac at home. This has been flawless for me. Paulo has always answered my questions the next day and helped me solve any problems.

Perhaps the UI part could be adjusted a bit more

Nice UI, password rules too limited

Update: I was subscribed for a while to encourage development but passphrase generation is table stakes for a PW manager and nearly 3 years later (see dev reply below) there's no hint of it. This app is in maintenance mode. I give up.

This has a nice UI that feels very Appley. However it is not serviceable as my password manager without more control over password generation. You cannot create memorable or typable passwords (i.e. using word lists). There are lots of cases where autofill does not apply: not all password use is in a browser or an iOS app. For example in terminal, or a device where I am not signed into my iCloud, or Secrets is not installed, so I need to be able to create passwords that I can actually type.

There's also no control over punctuation characters except on/off. This makes it impossible to create passwords that fulfill specific site requirements (of course those requirements are usually stupid, but I can't change them.)

Thanks for the feedback. I'll count your +1 for furhter password generation options.

Gute App - mit Luft nach oben

Ich würde mir wünschen, wenn man in den Objekten eigene weitere Felder hinzufügen könnte (weitere Passwörter, PINs, etc.)

Außerdem wäre es cool, wenn die App das Favicon einer Website bzw. eines Service erkennt, sobald deren Domain gesichert wird.

Response from developer

Hallo, In Secrets werden benutzerdefinierte Felder im Notizbereich eines Elements hinzugefügt. Sie können Markdown verwenden, um die Felder ansprechend zu formatieren und bei Bedarf sogar eine Markdown-Erweiterung nutzen, um Informationen auszublenden. Weitere Informationen zu Markdown finden Sie im Supportbereich unserer Website. Was PINs betrifft: Jedes Login-Element kann mehrere Passwörter haben. Ein Passwort kann auch als PIN festgelegt werden. Fügen Sie Ihrem Login einfach ein weiteres Passwort hinzu und ändern Sie den Typ in PIN. Dadurch werden die Optionen zur Passwortgenerierung auf den PIN-Typ umgestellt. Bezüglich des Favicons: Wenn Sie das Logo eines Elements bearbeiten, nachdem Sie Dienste verknüpft haben, schlägt Secrets Ihnen Favicons vor. Dies geschieht nicht automatisch beim Hinzufügen eines Dienstes. Ich werde dies möglicherweise in Zukunft berücksichtigen. – Paulo

Guter Passwortsafe 👍🏻

Aktuell habe ich leider einige Probleme mit der Anwendung:

- Login-Objekte erkennen das Favicon von Websites nicht (leider).

- Beim Einfügen eines eigenen Icons in eine Passwort-Objekt stürzt die App mit einer Fehlermeldung ab.

- Wenn ich Anhänge (PDFs) in einem Passwort-Objekt gespeichert habe, bekomme ich nicht immer einen Vorschau-Button angezeigt und ich kann auf die angehängten Dateien gar nicht mehr zugreifen (das darf nicht sein!).

- Bitte die Möglichkeit zum Hinzufügen weiterer Attribute (Passwörter, PINs, Freitextfelder etc.) in einem Objekt ermöglichen

- Einen Indikator zu Bewertung der Passwortsicherheit hinzufügen

Vielen Dank!

Indeed Secrets doesn’t offer custom types like “WiFi” or “Database”. But you can store these just as well. For example, a “WiFi” is just a Login item with no username. You can even change the logo of that item to be the WiFi symbol. For other types, you can use the Note item and format it using Markdown. See https://secrets.app/support/annotate-items/#using-markdown for more.

So buggy having to go back to iOS Passwords

I will have to go back to iOS Password manager. Wanted to like this but my god it’s fragmented across devices and when you need to re-setup a device forget it.

Datenverlust

Ich benutze die Secret App schon seit der ersten Version die ich teuer gekauft habe. Dann kam die neue Secret App die ich wieder teuer kaufen musste.
Nach Jahren Benutzung ohne Probleme und 230 Passwörtern, hat die App ihren Dienst von heute auf morgen eingestellt. Der sicherheitschlüssel is auf einmal defekt und alle Passwörter sind nicht mehr verfügbar. Also wer das Risiko nicht eingehen will das seine Passwörter von jetzt auf gleich nicht mehr verfügbar sind, sollte die Finger davon lassen.
Sowas sollte nicht möglich sein. Den Entwicklern ist das natürlich egal. Die haben ja jetzt kein Problem.

Hello Max, Sorry to hear you’ve encountered issues. The app should never stop working all of the sudden. If you haven’t already, please reach out to for assistance. Paulo

Just very easy to use

Been using this app for a few years now and it’s just very straight forward to use. Does what you want without superfluous fluff or fuss, it links up to your iPhone too which is massively helpful and the interface looks better than Apple’s Passwords

Issues with device authorisation

There are issues with device authorisation requests not arriving on any pre-approved devices. This is a major security issue that should be resolved ASAP.

Guter Speicher für Karten- und Kontendaten

Dank iCloud Sync auch mit mehreren Apple-Geräten nutzbar. Was allerdings bisher fehlt: Ein Speicher für sensible Dokumente wie z.B. Ausweise/Pässe etc.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! You can already attach files to any items. If you want to add your passport picture for example, create a new note, call it “Passport”, type in your passport details and then attach the picture using the “Add File” button. -Paulo

Good

Good application
MPMukundan Parthasarathy

Great password manager for those working in an Apple ecosystem

This might not have all the bells and whistles of other password managers but Secrets is solid and not as expensive as many others. Love it so far.

Magique

Superbe application, à posséder absolument

Not recommended

Very impractical application.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. If it’s not too much to ask, I’d love to hear more about what you found lacking. You can reach me at secrets@outercorner.com.

Perfect app!

Yes!

Fantastic app

Great developer, great support, privacy conscious design

If you like a horrible UX, this is for you!

If you like cryptic, confusing error messages, this apps for you. If you like ambiguous verbiage that gives you no clue whether you're being asked to change your Secrets passphrase or enter in a new Apple ID, this apps for you. If you like not being able to find any info on exactly HOW to purchase premium version, this app's for you. If you like paying the full price to own version 3 and using it for 2 years, and then it not being compatible /syncable with version 4, this apps for you. If you like spending the better part of a Saturday wasting time on the internet trying to get answers, only to be more confused than when you started, this apps for you. If not, seek a differnt app. I'm out.

Integration

Wünsche mir eine noch bessere Integration in das System.

Secrets

Application simple, pratique et installation via navigateur ce qui est super si on veut l’utiliser au travail sans pour autant installer une application, ce qui va demander des droits admin
VVaioPod

Not great

Fairly simple app that doesn’t work that well. Thought could be a savings from 1PW but you’re better off spending more and getting a properly working app. Search function works poorly.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear you had issues. If you're willing to give it another try, version 4.1 fixed various issues regarding the import feature and improved performance as well. -Paulo
