These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written.

DotPass Passwords

Normally $0.99.

This app is a utility for generating and retrieving passwords using pretty patterns between dots.
It lets you enter a graphical pattern and a plain text seed word (like “facebook”, “home”, “email” or whatever makes sense to you), and then generates a password based on this unique combination.

As long as you enter the same pattern and seed word the generator will always output the same password.
So as long as you remember the pattern you’ve chosen and your seed word, you can get your password back. But unlike other solutions your passwords are never stored on your device or sent over the net.

There is also a Mac OS X version of DotPass available in the Mac App Store. So you can easily access to the same passwords on your mac as well.

To make these passwords secure you must of course keep your pattern and seed words secret, just as you would with your password. If you are worried about someone looking over your shoulder you can use the privacy settings in the app to hide the pattern and seed after entry. For added security the app automatically resets if left in the background more than a minute.
