• Security Audit by Cure53

  Thursday, Nov 10, 2016

  Password managers like Padlock are different from most other applications in that they deal with personal and sensitive data and therefore require a significant level of trust from their users and have to be held to a much higher standard when it comes to security and privacy. We believe that the best foundation for trust is transparency which is one of the reasons why we’re so strongly committed to the idea of Open Source.... Read More

• Padlock Cloud: Introducing Paid Plan

  Thursday, Nov 3, 2016

  We believe that digital privacy and security are basic human needs and we want to make Padlock and Padlock Cloud available to as many people as possible. However, writing software is a lot of work and hosting an online service comes with many expenses from things like hosting, server maintenance and customer support. This is why, in order to sustain Padlock as a project and to drive future development, we’re introducing a paid monthly plan for access to the official Padlock Cloud service.... Read More

  We’re pleased to announce that Padlock v1.0 has been released! This is the biggest release yet, and apart from the usual bug fixes and polish we have a couple of neat additions for you (see below)! Most the changes, though, have been “under the hood” and even though they are not directly visible to most users they will bring great improvements in stability, reliability and security.

• Update to v1.0 to Keep Using Padlock Cloud!

  Thursday, Sep 8, 2016

  Along with the release of Padlock v1.0 we are also rolling out a major update to the Padlock Cloud service. Unfortunately, this means that Padlock Cloud clients of version 0.12 or earlier will not be able to access Padlock Cloud anymore. When trying to synchronize data or pair new devices, the app will show a generic error message. In addition, users will receive an email reminding them to update to the latest version of Padlock....
