In this age, it seems every web site, online store, online bank, social networking site, etc. asks you to create a login and password. We`re told we should never re-use passwords, and password must not be something easily guessed. Most of us, however, don`t follow these rules because there is no way we would be able to remember these dozens of unique, cryptic passwords.
This is where PWMinder comes to the rescue! PWMinder Desktop is a cross-platform, Password Manager application that is used to store all of your passwords and other sensitive data in a secure encrypted file.
With PWMinder, you do not need to try and remember all of your various passwords, but rather create one very secure password, to be able to access all of your other passwords in one place. Along with the PWMinder for BlackBerry, you can now manage your passwords at home and on the road.
PWMinder Desktop allows you to automatically log in to your favourite websites, and allows you to export and print all of your data. PWMinder also include a configurable Password Generator Tool, which allow you to create secure passwords.
With the addition of PWMinder for BlackBerry and versions planned for iPhone and Android as well, your passwords become as mobile as your are. You can create a Repository of passwords on your Windows PC at work, then transfer your passwords to your BlackBerry so you can access them the road.
You can then take the Repository put it on your Mac, to access and edit your passwords at home. True Cross-Platform, Cross-Device compatibility!
Here are some key features of "PWMinder":
