Mashable Video: SplashData's annual Worst Passwords List
Sometimes it’s good to be like everyone else — but when it comes to choosing a password, we should all strive to be as unique as possible.
More people choose “password” than any other word or phrase to secure their accounts, according to a recent study. In case you haven’t taken the hint, that makes password the absolute worst string of characters you can chose to protect your online identity.
SplashData has just released its annual list of the worst passwords, which features the most common phrases used on the Internet and posted by hackers.
The three worst passwords haven’t changed since 2011; they’re password, 123456 and 12345678. The new worst passwords added to this year’s list include welcome, jesus, ninja, mustang and password1.

Android Central Editors' app picks for Nov. 27, 2011
From
Android Central:
Android phones are like tiny pocket computers, which means you're likely to be logging into some sites that need password protection. I'm the type of person who uses a unique strong password for every login, so mSecure was a perfect fit for me. Using 256bit blowfish
encryption, and a master password to lock the app down tight means nobody is going to get access to my logins if I lose my phone, and having everything in one place is always easier. mSecure allows me to enter my username, then select and copy the password to paste in the login window, and presents everything in easy to navigate categories or alphabetically.

Cloud Support Makes mSecure Outstanding
From
eWeek:
All around, I'm hard-pressed to find anything I don't like about mSecure. For a few hours, I thought I wanted it to validate credit card checksums during record input, but that's as close as I could come to identifying a missing feature. In short, I'm impressed enough with mSecure that I may finally throw away that notebook I've kept for the last 15 years.

Review: SplashID for iPhone
From
iPhoneShine:
Information age has really messed-up our lives. We now have to deal with tones of usernames and passwords. One may say that by keeping same username and password for every site you visit can solve the problem, but believe me, that would be a really bad idea. Keeping multiple passwords (and usernames) for different websites is the way to go. One way to do storing that information is by jotting it in a notepad (not secure) or you can get an app that handles the ‘headache’, like a charm. Meet SplashID, the solution to the problem.Labels: iPhone, Security, SplashData, SplashID

SplashID looks elegant and I like how everything is categorized neatly and yet doesn’t feel overwhelming. It’s easy to spot and view a specific record, thanks to Categories and Types.

Protecting your precious information
From
Bangkok Post:
In the end, there is no doubt that SplashID will simplify your life in the land of passwords. The software certainly gets the job done very well both on the desktop and the handset...
You no longer need to use the same password for everything. Nor do you need to expose your multiple passwords by writing them down on post-it notes. You now enjoy the luxury of having as many passwords as you like while keeping all of them secure and handy. This ability decreases the threat of identity theft immensely.

Protecting your precious information with SplashID (review of BlackBerry version)
From
Bangkok Post:
In a nutshell, SplashID is software designed to keep all your secret PIN/passwords in the same basket securely. The software protects your precious information using AES and Blowfish encryption and auto lockout after 10 failed attempts.
Having been in the business of developing applications for handheld devices since the year 2000, SplashData knows how to serve most, if not all, handheld platforms. So it's no surprise to see SplashID coming out with versions for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, Palm WebOS, Windows Mobile, Palm OS, S60, and of course BlackBerry. Desktop versions are also available for both Windows and Mac.
This multi-platform capability is an obvious advantage for people who have to access to more than one platform or plan to change platform in the future because they can share and sync the same data via the desktop version.

Review: SplashID Desktop and BlackBerry Application
From
BerryReview:
Most people use the internet to either check email, conduct business and do their shopping. What protects us in the internet is a well though out password but with so many accounts is usually hard to remember passwords and sometimes we tend to choose an easy password giving up some of the security. SplashID let me test their application and I am very impressed with their application.

SplashID iPhone app review
From
iPhoneSpies:
I sometimes forget a password to one of my online accounts, and because I was lazy I didn’t write it down or save it somewhere safe. If you’re like me then SplashID will come in handy, all your passwords and sensitive info can be stored securely and accessed right from your iPhone. If you have multiple bank accounts, PIN numbers, logins, etc. this app is a must. It will make your life a little more convenient, and hair pulling a little less frequent.

SplashID (iPhone & iPod Touch)
From
Sven on Tech:
I have been using this SplashID App for about 2 months now and to tell you the truth at first I thought that I wouldn’t use it all that much once I got all the info plugged into it. But since having this app I have found myself referring back to Splash ID where all my personal info is safely tucked away just for me constantly. There isn’t much that I don’t like about SplashID. In fact, I have found it very difficult to to find any cons for this review!
