Password Manager

Passwords! We all have quite a number of them – especially if you regularly access websites or use applications that require you to log on. The normal user either uses the same password for every application and website, or gets really creative and promptly forgets which password goes with which application.

Password Manager can automatically remember your passwords or give you the ability to discern which sites to remember and which to omit. Once you sign on to the computer, Password Manager will provide your passwords or credentials for participating applications or websites.

When you access any application or website requiring credentials, Password Manager will automatically recognize the site, and will ask if you want the software to remember your information. If you want to exclude certain sites, you can decline the request.
