Steganos Password Manager works by creating password protected profiles, within which you can store web addresses with user names and passwords. The data in the profiles is encrypted when they are closed, so it can only be accessed by unlocking the profile in the application.

Each profile you create needs to be given a master password, which you do need to remember! Information is organized in a tree, as is usual in Windows. There's no limit to how many passwords you save in each profile. Each entry has a description, user name, password, URL and notes frame, and can also have a file attached to it. With the data filled in, you can open a page in your browser from Steganos Password Manager. You can then use the drag and drop button to fill the login information on the website.

For the super paranoid, there's also a virtual keyboard, which you can use to enter data without a keylogger being able to record your details. The interface is easy to use, and you can even access your passwords with a right click on a password field - if you use Internet Explorer. Auto-fill is not accessible with Firefox, you have to drag and drop you information.

While it's missing Firefox support, Steganos Password Manager is still a secure and well designed program to keep your details safe.

Features

PasswordBox allows you to store Passwords for many different websites. The Chrome and FireFox versions automatically allow you to enter passwords for sites such as Facebook, Hulu, LinkedIn and Amazon; the Internet Explore expands the list with financial sites such as Bank of America and J.P. Morgan. If these selections aren’t enough you can add your own favorite sites and store the corresponding passwords.

These passwords become encrypted on your own PC before they are sent to your PasswordBox account. When you visit a site registered with PasswordBox, you enter your Master Key (PasswordBox account password) to decrypt your password and log into a site. This is both convenient and a good means of preventing theft. On the downside, there is no way to recover your Master Key if lost, meaning that if you forget it you’ll be stuck out of your accounts.

Usability

PasswordBox has a somewhat counter-intuitive installation process. You will first download and install the PasswordBox program to your computer. This won’t actually add any extensions to your browsers. Instead, this will grant you access to features on its website and the ability to create an account. You must then go to the download page and install the extension for the browser you are currently using (Internet Explorer, FireFox, or Chrome). If you use all three browsers you'll have to download and install these individually. It would be much easier if accessing PasswordBox required just one app.

PasswordBox’s layout is slightly different depending on the browser. On FireFox and Chrome PasswordBox first opens up a new page with various tabs to insert passwords, change settings, or watch video tutorials. In Internet Explorer the extension is presented as a popup, but the buttons and functionality remain the same. After inserting your passwords it may be easy to forget that PasswordBox is even activated. The only small inclination you will notice is that applicable websites will now have a green “Box” icon within the password box.

Quality

PasswordBox’s appearance is very minimalistic and mundane. The FireFox and Chrome versions take up entire webpages which either contain unused space or unnecessarily large text. The Internet Explorer version is much more compact and easier to navigate, making it superior to the other two versions. Passwords appear as soon as you enter a website and logins activate smoothly without confirmations (You can set optional prompts via the settings menu). If you are ever confused by the interface, PasswordBox has a detailed help section and a gallery of in-depth tutorial videos.

Conclusion

PasswordBox is an excellent means of keeping all of your passwords in one place. Because your passwords are encrypted you won’t have to worry about online theft. Just be sure to remember your Master Key or you could be permanently locked out. Though the installation process is odd and confusing, once PasswordBox is set up it is easily accessible from Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Chrome. If you have too many passwords to keep track of PasswordBox is a great extension to have.

The program is installed in the USB memory device and then appears integrated as a toolbar in your web browser. From this moment on, every time you log into a given website, RoboForm2Go will offer you the possibility to save that information as a new entry in its database. Then, the next time you try to log into that website, a single click on the program's toolbar will be enough to get you through.

Besides the password management functionality, RoboForm2Go features a small notepad for private notes and a password generator. All the program's functions can be accessed either the aforementioned toolbar or a small icon in the system tray. As for security, there's no need to worry: the program uses the AES algorithm and a master password to protect all your stored data.

Despite being a really useful app, especially because you can take it with you anywhere, there are still some points I didn't like about RoboForm2Go. First, it's difficult to create new entries without visiting the actual website. I think it would have been much easier to let users add new entries on the fly, without having to visit every single webpage. Also, the password manager is quite limited, allowing you to create only one password at a time.

RoboForm2Go is a convenient, safe way to store all your passwords and have them with you at all times.

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

Good password management is essential to stay safe, on and offline. These days, services and programs are so many and varied that keeping track of your passwords across devices, websites and apps can be near-on impossible. That's where a password manager like KeePass comes into play.

Easy to use

This app doesn't require installation, and presents a simple, easy-to-navigate interface. First off, the app will ask you to define a master password. As this is the main step and the first line of KeePass' defences, it's essential that it's a good one. To this end, KeePass will assess the master password's strength, as well as offering extra protection like a key file option and the ability to enable a Windows user account backup, in case a user account is lost.

Once you've set up a master KeePass password, you'll want to go about setting up password databases and groups - categories of password-protected information. How you organize these is up to you - you could have a work and a personal database, for example, filled with groups like banking, internet and social networks. Setting these up is easy, as KeePass walks you through each step with a clear and detailed wizard-like approach.

Using your passwords

Navigating the KeePass interface is very intuitive. Right-click on an entry to modify it, and use the icons along the top of the window to perform the most basic KeePass tasks. In order to actually use your passwords, you'll need to have the app open. You can then copy the password information you need to the clipboard, where it will be erased automatically after a few seconds.

Unfortunately, it's here on the internet integration that Keepass loses a few points. It's not bad by any means, but it's just not as smooth an experience as other similar apps like Sticky Password Free or BlackBox Password Manager.

KeePass is a very good password manager that's great on options, but not so hot on online integration.
