IF YOU have one too many passwords that you need to keep hidden, but find that writing it on a piece of paper and keeping it under your pillow less than ideal, Access Manager can help do the remembering for you.
Access Manager is a software solution that keeps all your passwords in one list. In order to access all the passwords kept inside the application, users are required to enter a "Master Password."

Once you gain access, you can view and edit your passwords. Additionally, you can drag and drop passwords into webpages or other applications that require them.
Passwords are neatly arranged by username, passwords and passphrases. On the password window, you can choose a selected password to view and edit the information.
If you are worried that your passwords are too predictable, Access Manager can generate a random password and passphrase for you. However, most randomly generated passwords consist of long strings of letters and numbers.
If you are truly paranoid, you can even select an expiry date for your passwords and change them at regular time intervals – perfect for keeping passwords fresh and make it more difficult for hackers to crack.
In the event your hard disk should bite the dust, Access Manager has a feature that makes backup copies of your password database.
Backups can be made simultaneously to two separate locations. Even with backups you will still need to use your Master Password to unlock the database.
Access Manager can be copied over to any USB thumbdrive, memory card or removable hard disk to keep a completely portable, independent password management system.
