Password keeper / e-Wallet app

Hi,
Anyone can recommend me a good app to keep password / important information (like bank account / etc.) ?
Usually it is just an app where you can store some information, encrypted and passworded.
If you are using one, please let me know the name of the app
Thanks!

I have been trying LastPass and think it is very good.

I use universal password manager...kind of reminds me of the BB passkeeper.

Ooh...I like Secrets! Cool!

I used eWallet Pro with Windows Mobile. It worked great for sync-ing your passwords between PC and phone. I hoped they would develop version for android (just like they did for iPhone and BlackBerry). But they never did.
I looked for other alternatives with same functionalities. That's where KeePass came. I could export/import everything from eWallet to KeePass. Then got KeePassDroid from the market and copied over the database to SD card.

I have used used KeePass for many years.
On every Windows PC I've ever owned & even when I dabbled in Linux.
As soon as I found it was available for Android, it continues to be the first app I install/reinstall after every ROM switch.

What you are talking about ? Account and password is all you need to create which you do for every cloud storage app. Some people are just over cautious

I guess he's implying that russian services cannot be trusted despite the fact it's the services of USA that spies on just about everything people do.
Thanks for the tip!

Sweet 100 GB...and for free. NSA can spy all they want in that cloud, same goes for the FSB. I'll just keep my "less" sensitive stuff on this cloud.
After I signd up the these 100 GB, I wanted to see if I could find something even bigger...well 10 TB from Weiyun did the trick. Althou it's a tad more tricky to get signed up, it is possible to do so (firsthand experience) A good deal of the registration and UI of the cloud storage is capable of english. The android software lacks I'm afraid.
Sorry for the hijack

Do you trust them? I have very close Russian friends, they don't even trust the most of Russian sites and IPOs and apps in play stores. Forget about all NSA craps for a second...it is sad but it is a fact that whenever you see anything like cloud.ru or mail.ru, don't you even give a second thought before you sign up.

Like the guy before you posted, be it dropbox or this, I dont keep sensitive stuff there unless encrypted. Heck, does it matter if it ends on .ru? You think russian hackers or whatever go for the russian services more than things outside russia?

I personally use these storage to upload firmwares; apps; music videos movies etc so i dont see what could be the issues of privacy there? Can you elaborate ? No one use these storage to store information about their bank details; adress or phone numbers etc
I am using it for few weeks and its quiet good for those who lack internal space for music; videos and nandroid backups etc

1TB
If anyone needs 1TB please contact me, I have spare accounts:

I have a free account of 1TB at mail.ru and all I can say uploads work better than on google drive. Drive tends to freeze my tablet, where mail.ru is almost instant.

Password Manager?

Can anyone recommend a good app to manage all my passwords (so many of em': Google, Yahoo, ESPN, Twitter, Instagram, etc...)?? Would be cool if app could auto-log me into apps too :good:

I don't think you'll find any full featured password managers for free, but here's what I found in the Playstore.

Yes I have found plenty, just wanted to see what user's experience were! Dashlane looks like the best from Play Store reviews and description.

I have used splashid for years. A little pricey but it syncs in the cloud and with multiple devices. Customer support is good too

I would not want my passwords to everything in the cloud! That'd worry me a bit lol.

It is all encrypted or you can opt for local only and sync when you are on the same Wi-Fi

I use mSecure just for storing all my passwords. It's simple, but with so many passwords it's nice to have a secured list.

an App that lets me use my fingerprint reader for passwords

I am coming from an Iphone 6s and I cannot tell you how much i love touch ID for apps and passwords. the pixel has this feature but none of the apps have the ability to use it as a password or a pass through instead of typing my password in every time.

Most password managers let you do this. I use LastPass and I can sign into apps with my fingerprint.

I still have the 5X and all supported credit card apps have this feature for me:

PayPal to name a few.
They're still rolling out but do you have any of the apps I listed installed?

Keepass2Android can use imprint as well.

Yeah it's still rolling out and all secure apps with access to personal information will all be taking advantage of the fingerprint ID. That's not a fact, just my personal thought. Hopefully it will be mandatory at some point.

This is Android. You have options. No cookie cutter approach. There's a bunch of fingerprint unlock apps in the play Store.

mandatory or not, just an ease of use would be better. they can make it mandatory that apps offer it, and you can enroll if you want. but to have sensors and not tie them to passwords for applications and logins seems crazy.

thats not an option, thats going out of my way to get somehting that is offered by the creators of the device. and lets just skip over the security issues of android applications and the play store. you need security, you store it local and that local unlocks a key that says yes this is the fingerprint of the person who inputed that password. having to get an app for that is dangerous and ignorant in the long run. there isn't a cookie cutter approach on apple either, you can use it or not. just like you can use it or not on android. the difference is apple forced the app develops to at least have it built in for ease of use if people so chose.
Ive been an android user since the motorola droid in 2009, and only the 6s was my first iphone. it worked well, and it had it's issues, plenty of them. however it also had a streamlined unity to the apps and OS that android lacks, and the advent of the 4 messaging apps and video apps is proof of that.
they need a simple answer for this, and downloading an app that may or may not be secure isn't the answer.

LastPass IS more secure than default Google security. More encryption. Only in the business for security. Google is half in the business for leaving snoop holes for advertising research, etc. I don't personally mind this but I'm sure you've seen the privacy complaints.
Android leaves a lot open to development. iOS does unify things more, and you should give feedback to Google if you want something like "Touch ID" which just sounds like stock LastPass for iOS, to be honest.
Your complaint sort of seems to me like asking for more from stock, but I don't get why it matters to install an app (if app is designed right, which it damn better be as a password app!)
Maybe Google will include it in future. Like mentioned, give feedback.

and there is the problem, i travel for a living and apps and bank accounts and card accounts, hotels, airlines, all kinds of secure sites and opassword for work that I use through my device. on my iphone I logged in once and had the option to touch ID in for the rest of the time.
I'd be fine is that was an option, but most of the apps so far don't fingerprint sensor back into the application. it can get websites... wich is nice i guess, but if I am doing websites I'll just access it on my laptop and i already have them saved there.
i'd be happy if lastpass saved my fingerprint in place of password for applications, and not just websites. but right now the only one that did was Dashlane, and that app is a dumpsterfire of bloat and uglyness on chrome.
so again... an app seems like a good idea, but simplicity is also a featture people would like. android has never been overly simple, that is why I like it, but this seems like a no brainer for future apps.

Hmm. Did you try LastPass premium? For $13/ year... Cheap like dirt compared to hotels and flights....
And I can fill all sorts pf apps with my fingerprint... LastPass for me is like TouchID acts for you. Indispensable so worth $13. All browsers and all devices wifh functioning browsers.
What else can't you do on stock Android that you could on TouchID? I'll let know know if I can do it with LastPass.

Lastpass premium is worth it, I am using the free version to make sure it works as intended before paying money for it. really it's the fact that touchID was baked into the OS that made it so fluid. no extra app or multiple touches. just thumb and go. i've gotten used to last pass, and thankfully it's asking for logins when I use them, and that is helpful.

BofA is another app that uses it.

Yes for android-O Fingerprint Gesture app let you perform actions using fingerprint sensor and many more.

Internet Security apps

Hey !!
Do Andriod phones need antivirus or internet security as a must? If so provide me some links..
Thankxxxx in advance

The Answer Has been moved to a thread dedicated to security question and other advices to modify safely our Android Devices
Here is the post

Raiz said:
It absolutely doesn't, please don't download them, those are mostly commercial sh*t apps full of ads that plays with the fears of users.
Android Security advice :
• Just don't install apps that you don't trust (apk files and weird looking Google play apps)
• Never share your passwords with somebody not trusted, use a different one for each of you accounts.
Find more here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/security
General security and privacy:
• a VPN isn't a magic app that allows you to go completely invisible, even I can find who you are simply by using your latest Instagram post, the government doesn't have money to spend spying on you anyway
• Public WiFi internet browsing is like taking a bath naked around other people, everybody can see what you're doing and can interact with your browsing by sending you pop up messages on your browser. In that case the VPN is useful. But please don't use anything other than your WiFi network to pay online.
• Change password at least once a year
• For God sake be careful on what you share on social medias !
• If someone blackmails you, just ignore him even if he show you he has your real password/footage of you doing nasty things, most of the time they haven't and tries to scare you. But take action on your account, just don't answer them.
• Not having any of your IRL infos online is a good idea, but it tends to be more and more difficult because of Google assistant, and other Google services that are super intrusive (I mean even with your YouTube Google know your tastes better than your buds). But don't panic, if you're not a terrorist or a criminal you're not risking your life.
Keep in mind that your security is fine most of the time if you have solid password, and you don't give them away, but your privacy is not if you have a social media account of any type. If you post something on the internet, remember it'll stay forever out there, whatever you do !
App that I use to keep my Android phone in good health (install them sometimes to clean up/check on my phone's state then I uninstall them):
Google File Go (cleans files)
AccuBattery (check the battery health)
CPU-Z(has everything you want to know about your device)
When I need to backup an app's data or the entire app:
Titanium Backup
Here you go, I gave you very few the security advises, there are plenty more, don't hesitate to check the internet out for more !
Have a nice day

I have 2 edits to your suggestions
1. Change your passwords monthly, preferably using a password manager that suggests really hard random passwords
2. Swift backup is much newer and more efficient than titanium backup ever was.

Viruses don't really exist in android. You can be targeted with malicious code but that is only if you open, tap on or accept something without knowing what it is.
For instance, someone could send you a link or a photo that has malicious code embedded in it, when you open it or accept it, then the malicious code has access to your device and your data.
As long as you know that you are dealing with a trusted source, you should be fine. But, if you are the kind of user that goes all over the internet opening things without knowing what it is, you will quickly find yourself targeted by malicious code.
Become a responsible, informed user that is aware of the dangers and what kinds of things can be a problem and you should be fine.
