Other features: |
| 23 |
- there is an android app (read-only access for now) |
| 24 |
- there is a Windows version (including portable version for memory sticks) |
| 25 |
- it has an integrated password generator with some nice options |
| 26 |
- it allows 2-factor authentication (password + key file) for its files |
| 27 |
- it clears your clipboard after a timeout or when it is closed so that |
| 28 |
no passwords can be retrieved from it |
