Existing password management in the different programs
Every somewhat serious browser has a built-in password management tool. Other programs, such as mail programs, FTP and HTTP downloading programs, remote control programs, etc., also can save passwords and logins. Of course, it may be convenient for the time being - it saves time and increases productivity. However, if a PC user does not use up-to-date software for password management, such as Arovax TraySafe Password Manager, for example, sooner or later he will come across serious problems. Let's have a look at some of them:
Passwords exposure
Most password management programs keep logins and passwords in a certain format, so they can be derived. New malware (spyware, rootkits, adware, keyloggers, trojan horses, and other malicious software) appear every day, so most anti-virus programs, anti-spyware and anti-adware are not able to react on-the-fly to this. At the same time, spy programs need only a few seconds to get logins, passwords, credit cards data and other secret information and send it via the Internet to a hacker.
If a user uses a reliable password manager, such as Arovax TraySafe, he can be sure that all his passwords are securely protected by any of 19 available cryptographic schemes. Even if a keylogger penetrates into this user's computer, it will only be able to record a password for access to TraySafe account files, but it won't be able to obtain all other passwords.
Passwords reminding
Sometimes it is necessary to view visually a password to an account. If this password is kept only in Internet Explorer password database, then the only way to view it is to install a special password management tool or a password manager, capable to obtain passwords from IE database. It can be for example, Arovax TraySafe, Siber Systems RoboForm or Novosoft Handy Password Manager.
Users cannot learn what logins are kept in their password database by means of Internet Explorer only.
New Windows installation
It does not matter whether a user needs to re-install the current OS version or install an alternative downloading; there are almost always the same typical tasks: browser bookmarks transfer, mail addresses transfer, account and passwords transfer.
As a rule, the last task is the most difficult because of two reasons:
- password accounts are kept in absolutely different programs;
- usually these programs do not allow viewing passwords.
If a user uses password management software, such as Arovax TraySafe, he automatically avoids difficulties and problems with passwords and accounts transfer. He only needs to transfer password files into a new system and install TraySafe.
Even if he is not going to use TraySafe in this system, in order to make the transfer he can use export functions or the function of passwords and account printout.
Summary
The usage of up-to-date user login and password management programs increases general performance, saves time of working on PC and effectively saves passwords and other secret data from stealing. Avoid using free password management software - as a rule, such programs do not guarantee safety.
