Managing Online Account Passwords

Every one knows that it is very important to use strong passwords to protect your online accounts. However strong passwords are usually difficulty to remember. It is even more difficulty if you have multiple online accounts and use different password for each account.

Therefore many people end up using simple passwords or even use one password for all accounts. This is of course not a good practice.

iSafeguard™ Password Manager manages the passwords of your online accounts and fills web forms for you. You can use very complex passwords without having to memorize them. No more weak passwords! Much better security!

How It Works

Here is how iSafeguard™ Password Manager works (assuming you are logged in):

• The first time you login to your online account iSafeguard™ captures your login information, encrypts it and saves it in your iSafeguard™ profile.
• Next time you visit that web site iSafeguard™ prompts you available logins for the web site and allows you to pick a login. Once you click Fill Form button iSafeguard™ fills the form for you.
• When you change the account's password iSafeguard™ will try to help you too. iSafeguard™ will help you fill the old password and select new password with the help of iSafeguard™ password generator. After password change iSafeguard™ will update the login entry with the new password you have selected.
