A common PC user is not a director, system administrator or security provider. He is usually not responsible for bookkeeping accounts and financial documents security. But every active PC and Internet user has to think of how to create different passwords, how to make them strong and how to hide them safely...
If you are an active Internet user, you know that many online interactions require a secure exchange of information, which means password protection. However, memorizing more than a few frequently used passwords can be quite challenging. Once created a strong password, many Web users try to "cheat" by using the same passwords for different logins. It is rather convenient but this "carelessness" can lead to disaster.
Realizing this fact, many software developers of today try to solve this problem and offer their solutions - different kinds of password managers. Most password managers, however, can be used on one PC, thus you cannot access your passwords from other computers. What if you need to access to some important information from your friend's PC, for example? Many people have found a way out - they note their passwords on paper (in notebooks, phones, etc.). This method is not very secure, because your passwords can be lost, peeped or even stolen.
If you need your passwords on several computers, the best way to keep them is using a USB password manager - an application located on USB drive. All passwords are stored on USB drive, not on one of your computers, and this has a number of benefits. First of all you always have access to your passwords; second, they are protected and cannot be stolen from your computer, and lots of others. A USB password manager saves site login passwords, fills online web-forms with them and submits web-mail logins automatically. Modern password managers can also have additional features, like a strong random password generator, a bookmark manager, an option to print cards, etc.
Today many famous companies offer reliable password manager solutions: Arovax TraySafe, Keychain, Secure Desktop, Password Safe, etc. All these programs are based on strong crypto and protect safely such important information as passwords. Arovax TraySafe, for example, is a USB portable password manager, which means that it does not only protect your passwords, but enables you to have all your passwords with you and use them whenever and wherever you wish. Being qualitative USB flash password software, Arovax TraySafe is a great solution for those users who need their passwords on several PCs (for instance, at home and at work).
