1Password App
With a slew of password management apps available as free and paid downloads, there is one app that scores more than the rest. The 1Password app from Agile Bits for iPhones is the most comprehensive password management app in the market. This app allows users to save usernames and passwords in an encrypted password vault. It works with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
But the iPhone version of 1Password app supports "locking on exit" functionality. This requests users to enter password to the vault after a set duration of time for extra security. Also, this app allows users to set pin codes to let users access the app quickly. This means the user need not to type down the lengthier master password. Instead he/she can remember the simple pin code to log in. Hence, it is an easy way to bypass the complicated master password. Interested readers can check out this app from iTunes.
