Handy Password Manager - login and password manager

Vendor: Novosoft LLC
Product page: Handy Password Manager Home page

Handy Password manages and protects your passwords in two ways. You have the option to fill in all your passwords and personal information immediately after installation or you can skip all the introductory forms and fill in the information one by one as you access password protected information like banking accounts or email.

Handy Password falls behind higher-ranking software because it doesn't offer the customer support that should come with software.

Features set:
This program integrates itself directly to your Internet Explorer toolbar. All passwords and information can be accessed through the toolbar, or you can open the system from your desktop and edit information. You can also save new passwords directly from the tool bar. Before logging into a new account, just press the save icon and Handy Password will file your new information for next time you visit the site.

This program will only work with Internet Explorer. It is not compatible with other Internet browsers.

Easiness of use:
If you are familiar with the Window's folder and file style of database, you'll find this program simple to use. We do suggest going through the help manual if you would like to access Handy Password's more advanced features.

Easiness of installation:
Make sure you close out of Internet Explorer before you install this software; otherwise, Handy Password will do it for you. All Internet windows need to be closed in order for it to integrate into your toolbar. Other than that, we didn't encounter any real problems with the software.

Help/Support:
There is little customer support connected to this password management program. You will find a user guide and a "getting started" program online. There is email support, but it takes several days to receive an answer. Because the company is located in Russia, a telephone call could be expensive and they don't offer a toll free number.

Security:
Handy Password offers a feature where the user can choose to have passwords hidden or visible while in the card function.

This program provides password encryption and an option to print your saved information. This will ensure you have your passwords even if your machine crashes.

Summary:
Overall, Handy Password is an efficient and easy to use password protection program. Since it works as both a database manager and Internet tool, it provides the user with an easy way to save sensitive information. Handy Password's major pit fall is in its customer support. If you can't find answers in the help manual than your on your own. If you are interested in a similar program with strong customer support and a better price, may we suggest RoboForm or TurboPasswords.
