Loyal user for years - tops in security & customer support

This app works great on my iPhone - iPad - Mac laptop. I've used Codebook for a long time and been very satisfied. The Password manager is flexible and it's fast & easy to input new accounts and use all different passwords. The password auto-fill feature provides time-saving convenience and the newer data encryption system allows speedy syncing with my Dropbox account and Mac computer.

Rarer still is an app with worthy longevity, and app developers with a continuous improvement ethic. Dependable app all around. And they get high ratings from me on thorough (and patient!) customer support the few times I've really needed it. Kudos!

Secure pwd & data!

Feel confident Codebook actually and properly encrypts and secures data! While I want ease of use, which it works weel for me. But secure data is far more important!

Too bad this does not get equal publicity as other passsword managers. I began using when still named STRIP (an acronym, glad they changed name because search brought up adult content.)

At the time a security firm evaluated sevral pwd mngr. Some of those were found to store info as plain text without encryption. Others had encryption with flaws. This was the only one that implmented the encryption to the best standards availalbe. Would like to find a current comparison of the security practices to see if others have improved.

Also like the ability to securely transfer changes between devices. I use local storage on a USB drive and WiFi to transfer and works great. Also has support for Dropbox and Google, places I avoid storing data that needs security.

Great passsword manager and great customer service

Bought CodeBook from the AppStore 7 years ago and love it for the security, synchronization and customer service. Recently had an issue with the AppStore version, which probably was not releted to the software, but Zetetic knew I purchased before and sent me a license key so I could get back up and running with the version from their web site. I emailed their support and within an hour I had a solution. That is probably the best customer service I have encountered anywhere. Happy customer.
