Passwd ($1) is a small app that is devoted solely to the storage of passwords.
Fields are provided only for the storage of basic web login and password information, along with a URL to the web site and a free-form notes field. An integrated browser is included to open the URL and display the user id and password in a pop-up window.
The biggest problem with this particular application is the same one we’ve identified with several others—a complete lack of encryption.
Information is stored not even in an SQLite database, but actually in PLIST files, including both the application password itself and any “secured” logins. It’s cheap, but hugely insecure.
