Android Password Managers
J. R. Raphael provides an overview of
Android password managers
.
My biggest concern about password management software is that lazy people grow into relying on the automated provision of passwords which occurs on their phone or home computer when it is working properly. The rub occurs when the personal device is NOT working properly, and a password has to be remembered to access or configure a new device. If a person has not documented their user credentials on a piece of paper, a lapse of memory can leave a person unproductive.
