Intuitive Password is a password management program that stores users' passwords and confidential data. It was launched in 2013 by the Australian company Intuitive Security Systems. Intuitive Password received mixed reviews. Neil J. Rubeking wrote in PC Magazine that Intuitive Password's not having automated password capture like some of its competitors was a significant downside.

History

The program was developed by an Australian company, Intuitive Security Systems Pty. Ltd., and uses Advanced Encryption Standard-256.[1][2] It was launched in mid-2013.[3]

Product

To create a free Intuitive Password account, users supply an email address, a master password, and a self-populated security question and answer. In the program's "Logins category", users can save website, database, and server logins. In the "Accounts category", users can store their credentials for email accounts, instant messaging accounts, and wireless routers. In the "Wallets" category, users can store their credit card information. In the "Licenses" category, users can store credentials for their software and hunting license. In the "Identifications" category, users can store IDs like library cards.[2]

Intuitive Password lets clients use two kinds of two-factor authentication. The first factor is a master password. The second factor is either an authentication code sent through text message to a user's cellphone or Google Authenticator. It has configurable options to email users for every log in or to block different countries from logging in. Very confidential information can be protected by a second master password. Intuitive Password permits users to safely share authentication details with others who are using it.[2] For logging in to public computers, users can generate a single-use password for authentication.[3]

Reception

In a 2013 Softpedia review, Gabriela Vatu said Intuitive Password was "an easy-to-use app, with a clean interface and what looks like strong security in place to protect user data".[4]

In a 2013 PC Magazine review, Neil J. Rubeking rated the program as "Fair" and wrote, "the lack of automated password capture and replay will be a deal-breaker for many users".[5] In a 2015 PC Magazine review, Rubeking rated the program as "Good". He reiterated his 2013 concerns about the missing automation, writing, "Intuitive Password's do-it-yourself data entry is a pain" and concluded, "for most users, our Editors' Choice products, LastPass 3.0 Premium, Dashlane 3, and Sticky Password Premium is much easier to use".
