True Key™ by McAfee 17+

Love App - NOT the New Update

This latest update has destroyed the UI in dark theme/mode. The title fields stay white but the input fields are all dark with dark grey font making it very difficult to see & almost painful contrast, especially in the dark. Hope it gets fixed ASAP!

As for actual app function: True Key is awesome! I’ve been using if for over 5 years now, since before McAfee bought it, & it does exactly what it’s supposed to. I keep it installed on all of my devices and I rarely have to worry about passwords. Occasionally, on my phone a password created in an app won’t get saved but it’s not very often & fortunately my iPhone usually does save it as a backup so I don’t have to worry about it.
Major cons:
1)Not good at generating passwords for new accounts created in apps.
2)There used to be a legacy feature where if something happened to you, you could designate someone to have access to all of your passwords. - it was disabled/removed when McAfee bought the software & it was supposed to be brought back but never was. I REALLY wish they would bring it back so I can have the peace of mind that my kids could access anything they’d need to should something ever happen to me.

Does what I need-full featured and mostly trouble free

The implementation on my iPad/iPhone seems to be more user friendly and robust than the Windows version, but that could be just the work patterns I’ve fallen into ... I would rather use the mobile devises for training or general browsing and only move to the computer when I have substantial typing involved.

A couple membership websites with logins seem to completely block TrueKey and I’m more inclined to just dump these services because logging in becomes an unnecessary hassle. I’m not making constant purchases from these sites ... I have to check the login info, copy the password and paste it in ... frustrating!
For most everything else I can simply go to the TrueKey App search the site I need and click login. The site opens in TrueKey’s own browser and I can go right to work. Think I’ll dump those services and probably Windows as well. Just sayin’ ...

Mostly, but not quite.

The majority of sign-ins work flawlessly. There are a few where passwords don’t auto fill, so I have to cut and paste or type manually, This is a minor issue.

The password auto-generator produces passwords so convoluted that I would never remember them, nor is it likely that anyone would ever guess them, so that’s great. Some websites don’t accept the auto generated passwords, but most do. I have been able to use this app across platforms (PS and iPads) so the MK password is the only one I need to know. Works for me. It’s the convenience of having everything under a single password without the associated security risk.

Overall very pleased.
