• strong passwords

  

  Take advantage of the many options that ensure your passwords are strong.

  are your passwords protecting you?

  If you're like most people, the first thought that comes to your mind when you need to create a new password is to pick something that you can easily remember. This makes sense – since if you can't remember the password then how can you use it!?

  You may think that with the millions and millions of possible combinations of passwords that it would take forever for someone to guess your password. You would be surprised that most people inadvertently make it pretty easy for other people to guess. It's straightforward: passwords that are the easiest to remember are usually words, dates, names, places and events that are significant to you! People who know you personally may guess such a password very easily – especially when it relates to you, your children, your dog's name, birthdays, favorite sports teams, really anything that you are excited about!

  Also, for the bad guys who don't know you, these basic types of passwords can be hacked in minutes using one of many freely available password-cracking tools. Anyone can get hold of such tools, which really do work on the typical passwords most people choose.

  With the built-in password generator and strength meter, you'll have professionally generated, highly secure passwords, without having to worry about remembering them. Sticky Password does it for you.

  storing passwords securely

  One of the most common password mistakes is "recycling" – using the same password, or variations on it, for all your accounts. This bad habit opens you up to possible identity theft. Once an attacker gets one password he is on his way to getting access to all your accounts!

  But, once you start to correctly give each account its own password, you face another problem – where to store them all. We wouldn't advise post-it notes on your computer monitor!

  Writing your passwords in a 'little black book' may seem convenient, but is it secure? Once somebody gets hold of the book they have complete access to all of your accounts. You need to store your passwords in such a way that, even if an attacker got hold of them, he couldn't use them!

  Sticky Password stores all your passwords in a secure and encrypted database!

  nothing beats a good backup plan

  Once you have all your passwords secured in one safe password program, you need to consider what would happen if the database was lost or damaged. What if your computer was destroyed? With all solutions there must be a backup plan.

  Sticky Password backs up ALL changes to your database so that you can always undo any account deletion. To protect your passwords in the event of a hard drive or other hardware failure, Sticky Password also offers the option to store the backup files on an external drive. And, because the Sticky Password database backups are securely encrypted, you don't have to worry about the security of the storage device, as long as it is physically separated from the main database you have a safe backup plan.

  The weakest link in any backup plan tends to be the users themselves. We usually start with good intentions – but we quickly get busy and forget to stick to the plan! Sticky Password sticks to the plan and automatically backs up your database changes so that your data is available and secure whenever you need it.

  works for the entire family

  Sticky Password handles multiple Windows accounts on the same computer easily and simply. With Sticky Password, each Microsoft user account on the computer has its own individual password-protected database.

  Sticky Password is there to help secure and manage all your family's passwords easily.
