Keeper Mobile + Productivity Android apps

Keeper Mobile

Free
  




This is just one of at least 20 password apps available for Android, but it uses 128bit encryption and has US 5D992 classification to confirm it's secure.

Keeper is free to use on your Android device, but you can access only some of its security functions. Backup and synchronisation features can be added for $29.99 a year. Smart phone-agnostic users should also note that synchronisation across handsets requires this fee. If you want to use your Android device to access your bank, PayPal and eBay accounts or to make credit card payments, it's worth it to know your details are covered and you can claim if your account is hacked.

Setup involves creating a master password. You need this and only this to get into your account. You can then create entries for all your sensitive accounts; password fields and all associated details are automatically encrypted. A pair of dice indicates that a field has been logged and scrambled.

You can add prompts and adjust how many incorrect password attempts are allowed before the self-destruct function kicks in. Should you lose your handset, you can activate this remotely - so even in the worst case, your personal data is safe.
