TK8 Safe Reviewer's Comments

TK8 Safe is a promising password protection program. It has many features, but compared with the top products it is inefficient and difficult to use. This program depends on the user to fill in the entire database. It does not include browser integration but you can use the autofill feature from the system tray, just make sure you select the fields you want filled out before you right-click on the tray icon; otherwise, your name and passwords will end up whereever your cursor happens to be.

Although this was one of the more reliable programs to work this way we still found the software to be cumbersome. There is no automatic save prompt and you have to fill in the database manually. Additionally, if you are using logins that require more keystrokes than a simple username, tab, password, enter; then you have to modify the autofill template to reflect the correct keystroke order. A good example of this is signing into Amazon.com where once you put in your username/email address you have to press the “tab” button twice to get to the password field.

TK8 Safe does include two years of free upgrades with a licensed registration.

The comprehensive help manual and opening tutorial helps with TK8’s user friendliness. The company does offer customer support, but they are located in Europe, which could be an expensive phone call. They have yet to respond to our customer support emails too.
