Password Dragon5.0.9

Written in Java, Password Dragon is a simple-to-use password manager that helps you keep your information safe. It comes loaded with a bunch of practical options that are intuitive enough for beginners, including a random key generator.

No setup necessary, besides Java

As long as you have Java installed on your PC, you don't need to set up anything else. You can drop the program files anywhere on the disk and just click the JAR file to launch Password Dragon, as well as save it to a pen drive to run it on any PC. It doesn't change the Windows registry configuration.

Simple interface and options

The GUI is user-friendly, consisting of a large window with an outdated look. You can get started by indicating a master key to protect the entire database from unauthorized users, after which you can add a new record by specifying an account name, user ID, password, URL, category, attributes, and notes.

Create records and categories

You can use a search function when dealing with large amounts of data, edit, delete or duplicate records, open their URLs in the default web browser, generate random passwords based on user-defined rules (e.g. lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, symbols), create and manage multipurpose categories, count all records immediately, change the master password, lock Password Dragon, as well as export data to text, HTML or XML format.

Evaluation and conclusion

The software application worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or display error messages. It had a good response time and minimal impact on system performance, using low CPU and RAM.Too bad that it hasn't been updated for a long time. Other than that, Password Dragon features some powerful and intuitive options for helping you keep your passwords secured.
