Password Management Facility

Personal Info Keeper is the ideal tool for managing your passwords. With Personal Info Keeper, you can set a password and forget it. Whenever you want to use the password, simply drag it from Personal Info Keeper, to the application prompt.

Password features include:

• Personal Info Keeper access password.

  Personal Info Keeper may be set to require a password, whenever it is started. Using the "access password" means that your passwords are secure and may not be used without your knowledge and permission. The access password also becomes the key that is used to encrypt the data stored in Personal Info Keeper.

• Automatic generation of strong passwords, including password format specification.

  Personal Info Keeper can generate strong passwords, according to a predefined pattern specified by the user. This facility allows the user to quickly generate new passwords, random passwords.

• Previous passwords are automatically saved.

  Personal Info Keeper can be set to automatically save previous passwords. Any number of previous passwords may be saved and accessed by the user.

• Encryption of saved passwords.

  Personal Info Keeper encrypts its saved data, so even if someone were to copy your files, your passwords would not be in plain text and would not be available to malicious persons.

Moving Multi-Line Text

In this example, a complete letter has been captured and saved into Personal Info Keeper. The letter is a standard reply format that is used repetitively within the organization. Instead of having to copy and paste the text from a "saved email", the text is simply dragged from Personal Info Keeper.

Bookmarks to Files and URLs

You may also define saved text as a "link". Use of this attribute will tell Personal Info Keeper to start an associated application. For example, if you save the text "//www.personalinfokeeper.com" as a link within Personal Info Keeper, then when you access this link, your browser will automatically be started. This will be true of any other url or file, where the file name suffix is associated with a Windows program.

This feature saves you more time and effort when you repeatedly access the same file or url.
