I have uploaded my first app on to the Android Market and haven't too much interest so far on XDA so I thought I would post a little bit more information about the app.
This is a simple and light weight app that allows you to securely store and easily login to different websites on your phone.
Do you have all your passwords saved into your devices web browser meaning that anyone who has access to your phone can log on to the websites that you’ve accessed. Do you regularly wipe your phone for whatever reason and get annoyed at having to keep typing in your username and password. Then this might be the app for you.
The app will store all the login information that you enter into the app, which include the company name, the web address, username and the password. Each login is listed on the front screen. If you click on the stored login it will load the website and copy the username to the clipboard allowing you to paste into the username field. Also, when you launch the website from the app it will also create a notification. Once you have copied the username you can then click on the notification to copy the password. This way you do not need to switch to and from the app and the browser to copy the login information. Once you have launched the website, the copying of the username and the password is done while the app is running in the background.
All passwords that are stored within the device are encrypted using AES encryption algorithm to ensure your data is safe.
To protect others from accessing the app you can enable a password that needs to be entered before getting access to the app. Also, for added protection you can enable a feature that will automatically reset the app back to first use if the password gets entered incorrectly 3 times.
The app enables you to backup and restore your stored logins to a file on the SD card of your device. Should you need to wipe your phone, or if you get a new device and want to restore the logins onto your new device you can use the file that was generated from the backup in order to restore your data.
Although the App has Internet Access this is only there to enable you to submit bug reports from inside the settings menu and to enabled adverts to support the app development. I promise you, know personal information that you store inside the app is sent over the internet.
The App can be found on the Android Market. There are two versions, one which is a free ad supported version and a donate version which is identical to the free version but doesn't show ads. Please search for Boardies Password Manager.
Thanks
A new update has been released today in order to enable support for Android 2.1 and up. Tests have also been made to ensure that the app works correctly on honeycomb

Hope you will like it.
Hello guys!
Tired of typing your password each time you want to unlock your computer?
After months of work, I have finally launched my project, Remote Fingerprint Unlock, which allows you to remotely wake up and unlock your Windows computer with a single fingerprint tap!
Features:
• Simple, user-friendly UI
• Secure
• Local/Microsoft/Domain** accounts supported
• 3 app themes - Light, Dark, Black (AMOLED)
• Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Tethering support
**1.2.0 version of the Windows module required. Usage: when adding an account using the Android app, simply add the full name of the account, including the domain, separated by a slash ( ‘\’ ). For example: test\account.name
PRO features:
• Ads removal
• Unlimited computers and account per computer
• Wake-On-Lan
• Unlock widgets - can be linked to any account, useful if you have more computers that you want to unlock
• Launcher shortcuts - same as widgets, can be used by long-tapping the app icon or can be pinned like any other launcher shortcut
• More planned features
With that being said, here is the link to the app: Google Play or XDA Labs
The Windows module, found at http://bit.ly/2Q4YoUP is required for the app to work. Please be sure to check for updates from time to time as they can contain fixes and add new features. The changelog can be found at the same link.
The app was featured on XDA News, thanks to the guys at XDA! :highfive: So, if you think that you need such a tool, be sure to give it a try!
Lastly, any question that you may have, be it about how the app works, how to use it or if you are just leaving feedback, don't hesitate posting it here! Thanks for taking the time to check the app!
Security
The communication between modules is secured using TLS (SSL). The accounts are stored on your computer as they are required when unlocking. However, they are encrypted using a key that is generated based on your fingerprint. As per this article, the generated key is backed by a Trusted Execution Environment, which prevents an attacker from gaining access to the key even if he had compromised the kernel. In other words, only the enrolled fingerprints on your phone can access the key. If you do uninstall, reset your app or even if you change one of your registered fingerprints, the file where the accounts are stored is lost forever and you will need to reconfigure your accounts.
Lastly, research has been done to ensure that, even locally, your accounts are as safe as possible. No password is stored in-app and everything is done locally (between the app and the Windows module) and I'm not, in any way, shape or form, sending through the Internet or seeing anything that you type in-app.
Basic troubleshooting
If you cannot find you computer in the Scan menu, please check the following:
Be sure that the module is present on your logon screen. For example, on Windows 10, you should see it on the lower left corner of the screen. If you installed the program and it still isn’t present, please leave a reply, send me a PM or an email.
If you have a different firewall than Windows Firewall, please be sure that you have allowed all incoming and outgoing traffic on both TCP and UDP for LogonUI.exe process, found in C:\Windows\System32.
Be sure that both your computer and your smartphone are connected to the same network which assigns IP addresses on the same subnet. For example, both devices should have an IP starting with the same subnet prefix: 192.168.1.
If you have blocked ports on your network, be sure to allow port 4009 on both TCP and UDP for the app to function correctly.
If you added an account but unlocking does not work, please check the following:
If you are using a Microsoft account: if you tried adding an account, used your email address and it does not work, please update the Windows module to at least 1.0.2, which supports logging in a user using the displayed account name on the lockscreen. When adding an account in-app, try again by using the displayed name of that Microsoft account (the First and Last names).
If you are using a local account on Windows Vista or 7, you may have changed your account name in the past. Internally, Windows does not change the username so you need to type in the original username.
If you can’t remember it, just open a Command Prompt and type 'whoami’. The username that will be displayed is the one that the app will need.
You can also check how your personal user folder is called. It can be found in C:\Users.
On Windows 8 and 10, have at least the 1.0.2 version installed and simply add an account using the displayed name on the lockscreen.
Setting up/Testing Wake On Lan (PRO feature)
To enable WoL on your computer, you can follow the steps here. To enable WoL on your computer, follow the first part. After that, you can continue with the same tutorial if you have another computer available, or you can download this app on your Android phone to test it.
To send the WoL signal using the app, simply go to the saved computers, tap on the desired computer, tick Send WoL-Packet and Save. There is no need to configure anything as your MAC address is automatically detected when you add your computer. The wake-up signal will now be sent each time you unlock one of the accounts on that PC.
Take into consideration that on some computers, you may also need to enable WoL in your BIOS settings and that it may work only on certain states like being fully shut down, hibernated or sleeping. There is nothing I can do about it, unfortunately, as it depends on your PC. Thanks for understanding!
So the fingerprint is saved on your server? How can we make sure that it will not be exploited?

No! Actually it is not! The fingerprint verification is only done locally using only your phone's secure hardware. This is all that Android Fingerprint API's allow a developer to do: they just report back if a scanned fingerprint is found on a phone's system or not and the unique key that is generated when you first scan your fingerprint can be accessed only if there was a successful fingerprint scan.
So all of this part is done using Android's Fingerprint API. There is no back-end involved in any of this. With the exception of crash logs and ads, the Android app and the Windows module only communicate with each other.
Hope that it clarifies some of the aspects! Feel free to reply back if you have any other questions.

Sorry to hear that. You can't add an account in-app or you can add it but it does not unlock your computer? Also, are you using a Microsoft account or have you changed you account username sometime in the past?

Can't add the account in the app. When I fill the details (account and password) it disappears and I get a notification up top that the command is sent, waiting for computer to reply. But nothing appears in the account list within the app. Using a local account (admin) and no changes in the past 2 years.

Ok, just to be sure. Is your computer locked (not on the desktop, but on the login screen) when you are trying to add an account?
Edit: oh, yeah. That notification does not affect the adding operation, but it should not appear when adding an account. Thanks for helping me discover a little bug, lol

Already solved it But have you managed to add your account? If not, have you added the firewall exceptions for the LogonUI.exe process? (If you are using something else than Windows Firewall)

Sadly no. The firewall exceptions were created properly. The lock screen was on. No Antivirus on either devices. It might not be a firewall issue because the app was able to communicate with the computer.
Can't find my PC windows 10 in scan. No firewall in the computer, should i enable bluetooth in both devices or what??

It only works on local networks (Wi-Fi/Wired) at the moment, so both your Android device and your computer should be on the same network to communicate with each other.
Also, do you have your computer on it's lockscreen when scanning? (not on dekstop)

Open up 4009 on both TCP and UDP and also allow both incoming and outgoing traffic. Tell me if it worked.
When i use home wireless network (no main firewall), it is working, but inside my work network which have main firewall, it is not working. I already open port 4009 (tcp/udp),same result

working here flawlessly ..
For a first version finding an option to activate the dark mode surprised me. Thank you

Hi,
I have some apps that I have forgot the password to.
The apps still works but if I want to access the content using my PC I can not since I forgot the password.
Is there a way to extract existing passwords.
To stop this from happening in the future is there an password manager that automatically saves the passwords that I create for the different apps.
Or if there are no manager that does this automatically one with as little effort as possible would be good.
Also it would be nice If this manager auto-fills the username and password because I have some apps that automatically logouts.
Is there a manager that is freeware?
I do not know of a way to extract a password from an app that is logged in, that is mostly because the app does not store your password, but a special has that has your login information session.
However, going forward you can use something like LastPass to store your app passwords, it will prompt you to save them when entering, and you can use it on your desktop as well.
I have a Google Voice backup(Titanium and TWRP) with my contacts that are lost from my Google account and I've been trying to recover them with all the associated data(pic/birthday/etc). I've had no luck on my own or asking elsewhere.

From the reddit thread you have
--> Disable Sync
--> Restore Backup
You can see your contacts here
--> Go to contacts app
--> Select all contacts
--> Click share button
You will get a .vcf file
--> Download .vcf file
--> Go to contacts on web and import the .vcf file.
--> They should be available on Sync again

Thats a bit weird. Contacts sync was an issue in older androids that's why I had .vcf backups
Well, I am not sure what DB google voice uses, but if it's not encrypted, you can view it in DB viewer for SQLite and export the contacts as CSV.
and probably import that into you google contacts.
Still no luck
You should save a couple copies on multiple hdds/flash drives. People forget to back up these small databases... until they're gone
Maybe there's a copy on a old sim card?

Yeah never thought to back them up. I just really hate that I can see them but have no idea how to get them to anywhere else. Unfortunately they have only ever been in my Google account.

I had a similar experience and but had backed them up. For whatever reason chunks of the contacts vanished.
It's important to keep copies that aren't on that device at all. In a blink of an eye a virus or rootkit could destroy them all.
I use multiple hdds that aren't synced at the same time so at least most of my data is safe no matter what happens. Cloud stuff can get wiped or become inaccessible too so I put little faith in it.
Maybe an old phone you have, some is better than none. Backed up on a laptop or by a forgotten app maybe?
Maybe still stored on Google... worth a try? Google backup might take a day or so to restore them and may not even indicate they were saved. May work even if backup has been disabled by enabling it again. Google's a mess.
Offer still stands

You need to search your brain if the Google backup is gone.
Maybe you backed them up long ago on another hdd or flash drive.
Samsung cloud?
A carrier based app?
Think and search. An old laptop or PC hdd?
You can't retrieve what isn't there though...

I can see them in the GV app and at this point it isn't a huge deal to retype them from scratch, but at least some of the photos are irreplaceable.
