About Off the grid APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Off the Grid is effectively a password manager that will help you create different passwords for different websites. Passwords are generated by simply typing in text - the program will use a Latin square (of Sudoku fame) to scan for the password using a specific pattern. The generated Latin square (grid) can be printed out and kept safe so that passwords can be retrieved without a device.This application is a tribute to GRC's work on password generation using Latin squares: https://www.grc.com/OffTheGrid.htm
OTG (Off the Grid) is particularly useful for sharing passwords. You can simply generate a grid and then scan in the QR code on each persons device; they will then all be able to retrieve the password for "example" by simply typing in "example".
This password sharing could be useful for couples/colleagues with various shared accounts or
IT departments that need to access the same servers with the same password.
The following permissions are used:
android.permission.CAMERA - this is to capture the QR codes for previous grids.
android.permission.INTERNET - this is used to collecting analytics on usage of the application. android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - this is used to temporarily write an encrypted zip file to so it can be emailed.
android.permission.WAKE_LOCK - this is used to keep the screen on while the password is displayed.
There is no master password, so it is advised that you also have a remote wipe tool and lock code for your device.
Warning: this app should NOT be used if your device has been rooted. Why? - Off the Grid relies on being sandboxed by Android; when you root your device other applications may be able to read inside the sandbox created for it.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
