If you ever get sick of filling in forms and password fields then Online Vault will save you hours of work.

It automatically remembers your logins and passwords, and fills in Web forms in a single click. When prompted for a password or registration form, OnlineVault gives you the option of automatically filling in the fields or leaving you to do them manually. Alternatively, you can use it just as a password filler-in by using a master password.

It works by automatically storing and remembering names and passwords the first time you log into a site which you may or may not feel comfortable with but the developers assure that everything is very secure. If you don't want it to do this, then you may want it to help you generate some bulletproof passwords that no one will guess anyway.

If you share your PC, and don't want it to remember private details every time you log on, then you can create your own profile so you can use different shipping addresses, credit card numbers, personal credentials etc. However, you don't have to shut down Windows to log in and out of profiles - you can do it all through the main OnlineVault taskbar.

The problems come with particularly long forms that involve data that OnlineVault has never seen before - especially foreign language forms. In this case, it may half fill in the form for you but in the end, you may get more confused and prefer just to do it from scratch on your own.

If you use a lot of sites that involve passwords and form filling in then you can't go far wrong with OnlineVault although if you use particularly sensitive secure sites, you may find it doesn't work for those anyway.

<![CDATA[ QWallet 2.0f - Save and protect your valuable informartion ]]> http://qwallet.en.softonic.com

There is so much remember nowadays regarding passwords, credit card numbers and phone numbers that it's no wonder we get confused and disorganised.

Sometimes it's wise to let a piece of software do the hard work of remembering for us which is what QWallet attempts to do. It stores an array of information from credit card info to phone numbers in an easy to use application which sits in your system tray. When you need to use a credit card, just click on the QWallet icon in the system tray, and drag and drop your credit card number and expiration date directly onto the web page. Now, this might seem all a little insecure and I have to admit, I'd be wary of using it but the developers assure that it's highly encrypted and just about bulletproof to all but the most determined hackers. Note that the program never sends your information over the internet - it simply provides a relatively quick and easy way to look up and use those items you need. The information stored in QWallet can be password protected and encrypted at any time you want.

A much quicker and easier solution that trying to reach for your credit card everytime you need it although if you're not willing to take chances with security, stay clear.

<![CDATA[ KeyPass 4.7.3 - Versatile password manager that types your passwords for you ]]> http://keypass.en.softonic.com

KeyPass is a versatile password manager that types your passwords for you. Unlike other password managers that require tedious cut-and-paste or drag-and-drop operations to enter your passwords, KeyPass types the passwords for you when a user-defined "hot key" is pressed. As such, it works with any browser or application, including web browsers, terminal emulators and corporate services.

The information is encrypted using 448-bit blowfish algorithm and a master password is required to unlock the information in the database. This means that only you can access secret information such as passwords, credit card details, PIN numbers and any sensitive documents you have.

Unlike other password managers that write configuration information to the Windows registry, KeyPass stores everything in the encrypted database so that it can be run without prior installation. This allows you to carry all your sensitive information with you wherever you go. Simply plug the device into any PC and immediately access all your information and passwords.

<![CDATA[ SniffPass 1.06 - Capture passwords sent through your network adapter ]]> http://sniffpass.en.softonic.com

If you accidentally lose a password and have no way to retrieve it you're doomed, unless you have an application like SniffPass. This little spy sits between your computer and the Internet, grabbing anything similar to a password that goes through your network connection.

Unfortunately it doesn't work all the time, as it only captures the data sent via the FTP, POP3, IMAP and HTTP (basic authentication) protocols, so for example we couldn't capture our Gmail password. Anyway, it may be very useful if you need to recover the password for your FTP server, POP3 email account or similar.

SniffPass can generate nice HTML reports with the captured passwords, as well as save them in a plain text file.

To be honest, Password Dragon is possibly not the nicest app you've ever seen in terms of graphic design.

However Password Dragon does make up for it by presenting a really handy tool with a wide array of options to manage and protect your passwords.

Passwords are conveniently saved into several different categories and can also be sorted according to their type: web login, FTP user, email address and password, etc. On the downside, you can't export the database, but at least the program can be run from a USB key which kind of makes up for it.

Generating new password every time I subscribe to an online service is not that easy anymore. I've finished my complete repertoire and I'm not going to start using the same password for everything, so I've decided to grab hold of Flyingbit Password Generator.

This simple program can create all the passwords you need in just one click, according to the options you select on its interface. You can choose between upper case, lower case or a mixture of both, have also number beside letters and also set the number of characters. Shame it doesn't feature the option to include user selected words to make them even easier to remember.

<![CDATA[ Password Depot 3.2.2 - A safe manager for all your passwords ]]> http://password-depot.en.softonic.com

Creating new passwords every time I register for a online service is getting harder and harder. But before starting to use the same word everywhere and thus compromising my security, I'd rather use a password manager.

If you're in the same situation, Acebit Password Depot is probably your best choice. This comprehensive manager can handle all the usernames and passwords for all kinds of services, from online banking to FTP servers, including forums, blogs, email addresses and just about any other place where you're requested a password.

All your passwords are stored in a single database that can be saved in various locations (local drive, USB device, Internet server) and protected with a master password, a key file or both. You can organize your passwords in different categories and also assign an expiry date to them so that you're forced to change them on a regular basis.

In case you run out of ideas when coming up with new passwords, the program includes a password generator but I didn't find it that useful: it grabs characters from a Matrix-like code stream and doesn’t really produce usable passwords.

Acebit Password Depot still keeps an ace up its sleeve though: its seamless integration with your web browser, which enables you to manage passwords comfortably while you're browsing the Internet without having to change from one application to another.

Acebit Password Depot is as near to perfection as any password manager would like to reach: easy enough for the beginner and full of handy tools for expert users

Remembering the number of passwords I've got is often a full-time job. I am forever forgetting passwords for sites and needing to go through the time consuming process of having them resent to me.

The great thing about Era Password Manager is that it does all the remembering for you and can be taken anywhere on a USB stick. Ah yes, but what about security? Well the developers say that it is fully encrypted and there's doesn't seem any easy way of breaking it at least. The program is extremely easy to setup with a wizard taking you through all the essential stages. The other great thing is that this program will never really get old because it allows unlimited entries so you can sign up to as many sites as you like without worrying whether you'll remember your login.

It is however limited to 1 Terabyte of data - which it's safe to say you'd never fill in a million years. To enter new details, you simply copy and paste new logins into the field provided via right-click and paste. A handy extra feature is that you can search passwords by name and it even claims to be able to reveal asterisked password in other applications although this did not work for me. There's tons more included too including a password generator, backup and restore function plus a flag for your most important passwords.

Free, portable and immensely useful, this is an essential tool for anyone with a bad memory on the road.
