It's a lot more convenient than a plain text file, but at the end of the |
| 13 |
day, both are encrypted databases. Being able to open a browser from |
| 14 |
the GUI and copying the username/password to the clipboard are handy, as |
| 15 |
is the ability to separate the entries into categories, but it's all |

convenience. You can do most of this with an encrypted text file and |

grep, although not so easily on an Android phone. |
