Padloc: An Intuitive Open-Source Password Manager
|
|
======
|
|
Brief: Exploring an open-source password manager with a pleasing user interface, available cross-platform.
|
|
|
|
There are plenty of free and premium password managers for individuals and teams.
|
|
|
|
However, when it comes to open-source solutions, it is often limited to a couple of good ones like [Seahorse][1], [KeePassXC][2], and [Bitwarden][3].
|
|
|
|
If you have read through our list of the [best password managers for Linux][4], you might already know some of them.
|
|
|
|
I stumbled upon another interesting open-source password manager that could make it to that list for its user experience, i.e., **Padloc**.
|
|
|
|
### Padloc: A Secure Cross-Platform Password Manager App
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
While Padloc is not super popular, it is not just another open-source password manager.
|
|
|
|
You get a refreshing user experience with the app and end-to-end encryption to secure passwords. It aims to provide a clean and simple interface to work with.
|
|
|
|
![padloc light mode][6]
|
|
|
|
Free to start with, but offers paid subscriptions to unlock most features.
|
|
|
|
And it supports all the major platforms, including Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
|
|
|
|
You also get browser extensions for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome with all the available applications. So, you can always choose to access/use it on the web browser as well.
|
|
|
|
Interestingly, the project did not see any major updates for almost two years until recently. But, it is an actively maintained open-source project.
|
|
|
|
### Features of Padloc
|
|
|
|
![padloc active sessions][7]
|
|
|
|
Padloc offers a range of free and premium features. As per your requirements, you can choose to upgrade with a paid subscription.
|
|
|
|
Some features include:
|
|
|
|
* Unlimited vault items
|
|
* Unlimited devices
|
|
* Two-factor authentication via email
|
|
* Add tags
|
|
* Generate unique passwords
|
|
* Favicon support to identify vault items
|
|
* Dark/light mode theme
|
|
* Active session management
|
|
* Import/Export functionality (encrypted container/ CSV)
|
|
* Team support (paid)
|
|
* Multi-Factor Authentication (paid)
|
|
* Note-taking (paid)
|
|
* Document attachments (paid)
|
|
* Security report (paid)
|
|
|
|
Technically, you get all the essential features. But, to make the most out of it, you will need the premium subscription that starts at **$3.49 per month or $34.9 per year**.
|
|
|
|
### Install Padloc on Linux
|
|
|
|
![padloc app screenshot 1][8]
|
|
|
|
Padloc gives you multiple options for Linux. You can download the AppImage, .deb, Snap, or the Flatpak package.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, you can download a non-electron desktop client version, which is nice!
|
|
|
|
I tested the AppImage file, and it worked well. You can follow our guide to [use AppIma][9][ge, set up Flatpak][10], or [install deb packages][11] to get started.
|
|
|
|
You can check out its [official website][12] or [GitHub page][13] for more information.
|
|
|
|
[Padloc][14]
|
|
|
|
### A Slightly Expensive Password Manager for a Good User Experience
|
|
|
|
I was impressed with its user interface and the overall experience you get with it.
|
|
|
|
If you prioritize the user interface, minimalism, and open-source tech, Padloc can be a useful option, whether you decide to use it for free or pay.
|
|
|
|
Of course, if you want something value for money (or cheaper), you can always pick something like [Bitwarden][15].
