Password Retriever icon

Introduction

Password Retriever allows you to securely store information in a database. It does not have to be passwords at all. It is customizable enough to allow input for a variety of data types. Use it as a secure customer database, journal, inventory, and more!

In order to secure a database, password protection must be applied. Without password protection, the database is NOT encrypted. When encrypting, the password is used to encode the data in the file. Only that password can be used to load the file next time; without it, the data is unrecoverable.

When Password Retriever is first launched, the primary database is created and opened. This is a default database that is stored in the Documents folder as Primary Database.prdb. If desired, the database which loads at program startup can be changed in the Preferences window, or disabled all together.
