Have been using it for years together with 1Password. Both are indispensable to my operations
I have been using Data Guardian for years
Keep your data safe with Data Guardian from Koingo Software.
As an elderly computer user I have found DataGuardian a wonderful memory assistant. Thanks, Jim
In the early days of public internet use (1995 or so) you could have one password for all things that needed a password, so it was easy to remember. Not so now. The less complicated a password is, the more likely it is that someone might get into your stuff. Programs like Data Guardian became necessary to keep track of all those odd passwords. While there are other programs for tracking passwords, Data Guardian was one of the first, and I have always like the features and customer support. I have tried other programs but find Data Guardian to be the easiest to work with.
I've been using this software for well over a decade now as my main means of saving many passwords, as well as generating them, and it is my go to database for quick info.
Previous years I worked with two other compatible programs, but I am switching to Data Guardian, because it works straightforward. I can use it as a very easy list and also can print it that way if necessary. The presets are very handy, but I should like to connect them to a certain group. Now you first must make a choice for a preset, otherwise you maybe can get the wrong one for the group you want to work with. Another suggestion: saving could be made faster. Now you need more clicks.
Easy, effective way of organizing and maintaining a list of user names, passwords, web-sites, etc.
This site is excellent
I have used Data Guardian (through at least one name change) for more than 10 years on Mac, PC and, more recently, iOS. I have used other personal database programs which I have often seen come and go. Data Guardian always works on both platforms and has been keeping track of contacts and other information faithfully and reliably for all this time. It is one program I use many times each week and have been doing so for all these many years. What other program can I say that about? Not too many come to mind.
