Review on PIN-Master PIN Code & Password Manager (125 Codes) - Electronic PIN Code & Password Organizer - Basic Password Keeper - Electronic Password Journal - Small & Practical Password Book by Andrew Mclemore

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I forgot how slow and tedious keys are.

As society moved from keypad phones to touch phones, I held out while I could. I just thought touching the letters was weird and wrong. After moving to a touchscreen for a couple of years, I've tried going back to a blackberry with buttons, and damn it's not like riding a bike at all. You just can't go back to the buttons. Everything seems so slow with the buttons. That's because your brain trained your fingers to touch. Pressing the keys will now be very slow, we have lost muscle memory of pressing fingers. Which brings me to my point, this is a slow and tedious way to save your credentials/passwords. LAUGH OUT LOUD! Embedded software, if you can even call it that, doesn't help you distinguish a password from a username and websites. It would be nice to have folder levels to drill into. For example, create a folder called Revain, tap on it to go in and see the username and password. There is no such organization. You must enter the site name, your username, and your password on one line. So when you turn on Pinmaster, you'll immediately see the first line you create. LIGHTED DISPLAY is listed as a feature on the back of the retail box. I understand that the screen has a backlight, but there is no such backlight. I don't think they claim highlights on Amazon's product listing, so it's probably just a packaging design flaw, a feature they wanted to throw out, or something. Finally, you should know that all the special characters in the buttons are 1 and 0. There you will find @, &, %, ^ etc. Maybe in my free time I'll have fun with the thing, watch a movie and hold the thing in my hands like a fidget. LAUGH OUT LOUD! Otherwise, I don't think I'll make an effort. I will go 3 stars!

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
