What’s New
Version 3.5.1
Hello everyone and thanks for all the feedback sent in over the last few weeks! Today's update adds a few features and fixes a few bugs. Let's discuss!
• We've added support for Apple's "Set Up Verification Code" feature which allows you to easily setup one-time passwords in Minimalist by right-clicking or long-pressing verification code setup links or QR codes in Safari. See setup instructions under Settings -> Minimalist AutoFill. Special thanks to Michael B. for nudging us to get it done.
• You can now change the category of multiple items at once thanks to the new Change Category menu option. Simply select one or more items in the list, right-click the selected items, and select the new category you'd like applied. Special thanks to Herman B. for the suggestion.
• We've updated custom multiline text fields to allow for selection of text, URLs, phone numbers, email addresses, physical address, etc. Unfortunately we had to remove the "copy" quick-action in order to do it. Please let us know if this is a problem for you and we can come up with another solution. Special thanks to Feek for the suggestion.
• We've fixed an issue with the importer where 1pux files were not always selectable. Now they are! Special thanks to Goran V. for the report.
• We've added import support for Secrets SPEF and XML files. Great!
That's it for now, but stay tuned because there is more to come!
Ratings and Reviews
Spare, speedy, superb
With so many password managers it can be hard to pick. For many years I used 1Password but jibbed at the subscription and never much warmed to it because of the small font which made content difficult to read on a high res monitor. The only alternatives I found that were more user-friendly in this respect (and also cheaper) were Bitwarden and Minimalist. Both good, but Minimalist is much more direct and faster to use once you grasp its way of doing things. Just type the first few letters of a login title, without even activating a search field, and as often as not the item will open directly with no further clicks. Categorisation and icons are just a distraction from lightning fast search. Autosave also helps to reduce friction. Other useful features are archiving, a good password generator and large type passwords with underlying numbers (for those websites that want the 3rd, 6th and 12th character). To cap it all the dev is very responsive and the roadmap is full of promise.
Superb
I gave up on Wallet by Acrylic Software because it is no longer supported and was getting problems with it. I exported the content into Excel, tidied up as much as I could, then imported into Minimalist. Then the work really began creating my database of secure information.
I have found Minimalist superb. I have designed my own templates (e.g. to keep details of my cars) as well as used their standard ones. It is extremely flexible aand visually very simple and clear.
I was initially concerned it did not have folders/icons for different types of password, but this is not needed. It is better to set the keywords corrected, then everything relevant appears on screen.
Overall extremely pleased and happy to pay a reasonable fee each year for software that is proberly supported.
A joy to use!
I had been looking for a replacement password manager following many years as a 1Password user. I was attracted to Minimalist via the developer’s excellent website where he details the many advantages of using Apple’s native app technologies in order to build an intuitive, fast and secure product.
An extensive test convinced me that the app met fully all of the claims made by the developer.
This password manager has been professionally built for Apple users and it is exactly what I had been looking for. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it to others.
