Password Caddy for iPhone Will Be There When You Need It Most

By: Hillel Fuld

I think we all agree that the internet is one of the top inventions of the last few decades, if not the century. We are all on it constantly, and very few things in our day to day lives cannot be done via the Web. What that means, and this is backed up with proven numbers, is that we are all spending more and more time on the interwebs. We do our shopping, research, education, and now socializing through various websites.

However, a problem arises when you become too dependent on the Web. Every one of the sites that most of us depend on, requires a username and password. This is a good thing. I am sure none of us want random people snooping around our bank or Facebook accounts. However, how does a Web junkie like myself remember all the tens of passwords he uses on a regular basis? Well, one approach is to have a single password for all your logins, but that is not very secure now, is it? Another approach is to depend on your browser to store your passwords so you do not need to type them in every time. Besides that being risky in terms of someone else accessing those sites, what happens when you lose that computer or it dies on you?

Password Caddy offers the perfect solution. You have one central password to access an interface that stores all your other passwords just in case you forget them. Pretty simple concept! The concept might be simplistic, but the interface of Password Caddy is far from boring. The color scheme of the app is a nice black and yellow and as soon as you access the app for the first time, you can be creating caddies within minutes. Caddies are simple storages each with a unique password. Within each caddy, there are numerous categories such as Computer Logins, Website Logins, Financial, Bills, Online Shopping, and Software Keys.

Each one of the app’s built in categories can be changed, but it is not recommended since each has a template to match the nature of the data you are storing. So, for example, the category Website Logins, when selected will give you a screen to name the key. Once you designated a name (perhaps the name of the site), you are given three fields to fill. There is the URL, the username, and the password.

Links from within the app are clickable so if for example, you are storing a Facebook password,  you can open Facebook by clicking the link in Password Caddy. The app also assists you with those sites that ask you for a password according to very strict standards. C’mon we’ve all seen em. Only make a password with two letters, three numbers, and four symbols. Well, Password Caddy will generate unique passwords for you, just in case your creative side isn’t working that day.

Other useful features in Password Caddy is the ability to copy the password to the clipboard to be pasted into the site/form itself. There is also the ability to backup all you caddies on a PC or Mac, just in case you are paranoid of losing your iPhone. As you can see, the developers of Password Caddy pretty much thought of everything when it comes to securing and storing your passwords for easy access. If you are like me, you are probably thinking “I will save the $1.99 and just remember my passwords”. Maybe not the biggest deal when it comes to your Facebook or Twitter accounts, but I wouldn’t recommend that approach when it comes to your online bank account, computer login, or even software key. At one point or another, you are going to need that information and you might just regret not downloading Password Caddy when you had the chance.
