This week’s App of The Week is Dashlane Password Manager.

If you’re a frequent internet user, I’m pretty sure you have a large amount of personal accounts that are not as secure as they could be, some notably due to the catastrophic Heartbleed bug that took the web by storm last week. There are tons of applications available on the Play Store that attempt to help you manage your accounts and claim to make them as impenetrable as possible, but you’ll find not many of them are as protected as they profess to be. But here’s an application that’s really worth your attention — it’s called Dashlane Password Manager.

Google updated Android Device Manager this week to finally introduce a password lock. Once activated, you’ll need to enter your Google password to gain access to the app — but it’s an inconvenience that’s well worth living with.

Norton Identity Safe safely stores and syncs your passwords so that you have them with you wherever you go.

Remembering each and every password to each and every service you’ve ever signed up to is an incredibly difficult task. To make it easier, we create simple passwords that we’re less likely to forget, like the name of our favorite pet, our partner, or our car. The problem with that is, it’s not very secure.

Norton’s new Identity Safe is a free service that allows you to choose stronger passwords and keep your data safe while saving them all securely to your PC or smartphone to ensure that they’re never forgotten. You can then sync your passwords between your Mac, PC, Android and iOS devices so that you have them with you wherever you go.
