Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Lightweight
The utility itself has no GUI, and is written in Python, so it’s portable and has few dependencies.
Pro Requires little to no storage
Passacre needs only a configuration file to tell it how to hash passwords, what kind of output it should produce, and which sites need specific generation rules. There’s no database where passwords are stored, so it’s not possible to be locked out of everything if that file is lost.
Pro Unlimited logins and categories
You can add an unlimited number of logins and categories, in order to make organizing passwords easy.
Pro Privacy options
Privacy options, such as auto shutdown, prevents access when you leave your desk by never showing passwords, unless you ask it to.
Pro Choice of style
A credit card for the wallet or key ring for keys allows the user to visually see differences in their accounts.
Pro All data is stored offline
The app does not call home, ever, as it is a non cloud-based app. It encrypts and stores the data on the users USB.
Pro Simple to use
Easy to use for non techies.
Pro No recurring fees
There is no monthly or yearly fee, and you get a years worth of free updates.
Cons
Con Requires knowledge of the command line

This is an offline app (non cloud based), it only works on Windows PCs and does not sync with your mobile, for example.
Con May be too simple for techies
Ideal for the average computer user, but maybe not enough options for the more techie individual, as there is no browser integration.
Con No multiple users
Only suitable for one user.
