Password Boss Password Manager

The app is rarely updated, loaded with bugs and lacks many features of its competitors. Read reviews of password managers before selecting this one. Don’t make the same mistake I made.

App on the iOS device is unable to pass on password to apps. Example banking Spotify gmail etc. also when you use the boss password built in browser you may get error on various site indicating the browser is out of date. Ran into this issue with my bank td bank. There were a couple other site that had similar issues. 2024-02-04

I have tried many apps for passwords across platforms. So far I have had no issues with Password Boss. I have been using it for 3 months. Across devices and platforms. Love it.

The app is sluggish and very slow.

2FA codes are incorrect. No response from support.

Exactly what I wanted in a password manager!!

I have been using this app for years but recently in the last 6 month the app has take a downward spiral. I cannot log into my own account even though the user name and password are correct and I even get a verification email with the code but still kicked me out and say incorrect credentials. The same login credentials work on my other devices. The app/ Mac/ pc do not sync all together like they are suppose to for a unified password experience and have old or incorrect credentials saved across devices. Please fix these issue ASAP!

Password Boss is super cool, but the app breaks half the time. When logging into a site using the auto fill function my my iPhone, it’s a coin toss whether it’ll work quickly and simply, or whether it’ll crash and turn my screen green, forcing me to close the app and restart the login process. It keeps doing that with each attempt, so I have to login to the app separately to get the password (if I have permission to see it) and enter it manually. Probably a bug. Fix it and I’ll give the app five stars.

This app is nice, but it needs improvement. It works well when filling in passwords on websites. It’s icons are labeled well, so it’s easily navigated by the visually impaired. However, the help file is often unclear, and if there is too much dependence on screenshots, and not enough on detailed description of how to perform tasks. Especially for those who are visually impaired, and cannot see the screenshots. Also, it is not possible to request help, because there appears to be no phone number to call, and when you send emails, you encounter acaptcha, A picture used to verify that you were not a robot. This would be usable, if an audible capture option or added. But without this, it is impossible for a visually impaired person to request help.

The iPad and Mac interface simply aren’t smooth or consistent. I am using 2FA. Sometimes it asked for a PIN that was emailed to me, and sometimes it asked for my authenticator password. That’s odd. When a secure note is created, the updates don’t immediately show up after selecting save. Takes about 30 seconds. Speaking of “save” - you select save when you are finished editing a note. And nothing happens. Literally. No feedback at all. Both of these are irritating, but maybe not a dealbreaker, right? When I went to the secure notes section, there were zero notes there! Where did they go? Why can’t I see them?! I close the app and try again. Then I can see the notes. For now. THIS IS a dealbreaker!! I’m not playing the “Did it save?” game after creating something. NOPE. There are other frustrations, too. On both the Mac and iPad apps. It’s just not worth it to list all of them. The MacOS app is just as flaky. I’ve uninstalled both. Deleting my account. I’m DONE. Two last observations: A simple Google search shows this app has been outsourced to Brainvire Infotech Inc., circa 2014. For what that’s worth. Password Boss’ website states they are in Minneapolis, MN. A simple Google maps search reveals the address listed is a UPS store. Wow. A Whois search — nevermind. If you’re still reading this, you get the points I’m making. TRY SOMETHING ELSE. And be sure to test it first. Or you could end up losing your passwords... Instead of writing a frustrating review like this one.
