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