Michael Salloum (ID: 000000874c29e309) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/15/2020 App is broken. Doesn't even work or open...

Diego Galeazzi (ID: 000000c473fde2bb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/30/2020 Perfect for when you have a password saved on your phone and you need to export them to your computer! And amazing customer service! 10/10 would recommend!

James Litvak (ID: 000000e244843410) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/28/2019 Garbage. All it does is create a QR code that you scan with your phone, so you can enter your password on your phone which then allegedly logs in on your computer. However, I can't get my phone to do anything once it's opened the webpage where I'm supposed to enter my password. Useless. Use a free password manager, like Bitwarden.

Debi (ID: 000000a677fdb4d9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/02/2019 WinchPass works fantastically!! Have an iPhone and iPad and use Keychain for all my passwords. But, my current laptop is Windows. I found this app when I was searching for a way to NOT have to download another password saver just to use on my laptop effectively. It doesn't save any information, works through your iPhone and works perfectly. And customer service is top notch too! This app is all you need!
