Keep your passwords safe and secure

February 13, 2009 in Security, Software | Permalink

Passwords are part-an-parcel of computer use, they are used to log onto a work computer or access online banking and networking sites, in fact, you need one for just about everything. Remembering all of your passwords isn't easy so many people resort to scribbling them down on a scrap of paper and they inevitably end up lost or in the bin. A far easier and more convenient way of keeping your passwords both safe and secure is to use a password storage utility, which can be accessed with a single master password.

Efficient password manager 1.0 is a free solution that provides secure password management that also ships with an integrated password generator. All stored passwords are fully protected with an advanced encrypted login and the application provides a number of other useful features such as hierarchical grouping and adding attachments to password entry all within an easy-to-use interface.

Password Depot 4 is another free password manager designed for maximum user-friendliness. It ships with a function for that enables you to automatically complete fields on a web page with your username and password. The application also enables you to install Password Depot on a USB Flash drive so passwords can be taken on the road.
