![]() ![]() The premium version has over 100,000 installs with an average score of 4.8. Those are impressive scores, so what is drawing consumers to use this password manager? But, how does this password manager compare the competitors such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive? We find out in this SafeInCloud review. The password manager was developed by Andrey Shcherbakov and the closed source software is copyrighted to that individual. Although we do not know definitively, the availability of an extension for Yandex (a rarity) suggests that Shcherbakov is a Russian national. So, is it worth using the free version? And should you consider the paid upgrade? The password manager is said to be easy to use, and it would appear that it is this and the ability to upgrade for a one-time fee (rather than with a yearly subscription) that entices people into purchasing the pro version. SafeInCloud is a software solution that allows internet users to store multiple robust passwords without having to physically remember them. Users of SafeInCloud can remember just one master password to access any number of long unique passwords. Those passwords are stored locally on the user’s computer or mobile device, meaning that they are never stored online where they could be hacked. SafeInPassword is available for all popular platforms, with software available for Windows, Android, iOS, and Mac. However, no Linux version is available at the time of writing and according to the website, there are no plans to develop it anytime soon. SafeInCloud also provides extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Yandex. These extensions allow people to seamlessly import their passwords from their locally encrypted repository to autofill passwords on the Internet. ![]() The service can be used on any of those platforms for nothing, and that free software will permit you to save as many passwords as you wish. However, users who fall in love with the service and want a little extra can pay a one-time fee to upgrade to the “Pro” version. Users can purchase pro for iOS or Android at a cost of $7.99.The pro version lets the user share the password manager across five devices so that other team members can access the passwords. Individuals can upgrade to pro either by lining it to an Apple ID or a Google account. These prices are extremely affordable considering that they are one-time fees. It is worth noting that users get access to pro features within the first two weeks of downloading the apps. The pro features that will disappear are listed below (taken directly from its knowledge base): After that users will need to pay to keep using those features. Getting the SafeInCloud password manager set up and working is easy no matter which device you have. The Windows version can be downloaded directly from its home page. The Mac, iOS, and Android versions can be downloaded from the respective app stores. We tested the Windows and Android cloud backup apps in order to use features such as cross-device syncing. The desktop app downloaded and installed extremely quickly using a wizard. The installation included a Terms of Service agreement, which is extremely concise and makes everything about the service clear. With the installation complete, simply auto-start the software to start using the password manager. The first option you get is to either start a new database or restore a previous database from the cloud (if you previously backed it up using a cloud storage service such as Dropbox). We opted to create a new database which meant that we had to input a master password. SafeInCloud operates with zero-knowledge of passwords or data. It is for this reason that it can provide the service for free (or at extremely low cost). Because all your password and data is stored locally and only you have control of your master key - it is essential that you do not lose this password. If you do lose it, you will not be able to recover your account under any circumstances. On Android, we accessed the app directly from the Google Playstore. In order to set this client to be synced to the desktop version, it is essential to click the Restore data from a cloud option. This requires you to have set up your desktop version to work with a cloud service such as Google Drive.
