Passky Review - What Does This Mean For Security?

Passky is a password manager app that can be used to manage all your passwords on your various online accounts.

What makes Passky stand out from other password managers is that it’s open-source. That means that the code behind the app is freely available to the public. This allows anyone to play with Passky, to create their own version of it, and even to host their own server for their own users.

This extension is completely open-source. That means that anyone can download it, and they can modify it in any way they see fit. The idea is to make it a sandbox where people can play with it, explore it, and create their own version of it.

But what does this mean for the security of Passky? In addition to the fact that it’s open-source, it also means that anyone can download it and analyze it. So, if a hacker or a malicious actor wanted to, they could figure out how Passky works and modify it to do bad things.

So, what does this mean for security? Well, when you download Passky, it comes with a preconfigured master password.

This is the password you’ll use to open the app and log in to your account.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
