Editor's review of Password Dragon
5.0 stars
- "This dragon guards your digital gate"
Organizing login information is a painless process with this user-friendly password manager. Novices will especially appreciate its straightforward user interface.
Password Dragon opens with an intuitive interface that isn't overwhelming. Menu and toolbar items run across the top, and individual login information is displayed in the main window. To help users, the program activates only the buttons necessary for the task at hand to avoid any confusion. When we clicked on the New File button, we were directed to the Add Record button, which was then activated. The input fields are all self-explanatory, and we quickly entered account information, including username, password, and site URL. The program includes a password generator, and the ability to launch the Web site. The Options menu gives you all sorts of settings for masking certain login info, setting an inactivity timeout, and copying items to your clipboard at startup. When we were finished, we were able to easily save information in an encrypted file.
We really liked this programs no fuss, no muss approach to protecting login information. We recommend it for all users.

Version: Password Dragon 5.0.8
Pros: Works great, I tried several password storage programs. I couldn't stand them, and kept using an excel file for years. Finally found one. It doesn't even need to be installed to run. I'm fine with that. It would probably run on a public computer as a limited user. It would probably run off of a flash drive.
Cons: It doesn't support my mouse wheel. The startup screen is a little girlish. 'rainbows, etc.'

Version: Password Dragon 5.0.8
"Excellent manager without Gucci bells and whistles."
Pros: Java applet which provides a flexible and tailorable password store. Interface is basic but functional. Ability to assign custom attributes is brilliantly simple and very useful. Can be USB portable.
Cons: Bit clunky and has a habit of opening pop-up pages with the bottoms off screen. Would have been five stars otherwise. Does not run on windows startup.
Summary: I have used several password managers and this is by far the best in terms of functionality. It's not the prettiest password manager but the pretty ones tend to be limited in functionality or you have to pay through the nose for the functionality y... read more >>
