Most people are concerned with computer security today. There are a number of threats on the Internet which can mount up quickly if one does not protect their data well. The average computer user really does not know how to protect their most sensitive data. It’s easy enough to read a few websites and see that they propose an indecipherable combination of symbols, letters, and numbers for a password. Not even security professionals will end up remembering those.

Instead, look to Sticky Password. Sticky Password is a password manager and online form filler that include the portable password manager that makes keeping your data safe a breeze. Users are fond of its utility and performance while not being bloated with useless or excessive features. Passwords and auto fill in form information are saved in an encrypted database.

Sticky Password is able to generate random passwords and save them for each and every website you wish. Form data such as address, phone number, and other personal information can be conveniently saved as well.

Randomness is the key to secure passwords. A common method to gain access to a pass worded account is through brute force cracking it. The attacker runs a script with a dictionary file that tries millions of words and combinations of words until it finds the password. If a browser is using their daughter’s middle name and birth year as a password, as many people tend to do, it may not even take a minute for that person to have access. They are common words and numbers which will be checked.

Randomized passwords make it exceptionally more difficult to crack an account. The bad guys need to check each and every individual character against many combinations. How is one able to remember truly secure passwords for their bank website, financial websites, bill paying sites, multiple email accounts, favorite social networking sites, and hobby sites? Most people can’t, so they use weak passwords.

Sticky Password makes it so a user need only ever remember one password, the Master password. Develop one solid password that can be remembered and Sticky Password will handle all the websites one would log into.

What good does that do the user that is constantly on the move though? It is not like anyone will want to haul their home or business computer around. A laptop is nice and portable but not everyone has a laptop. Remember, Sticky Password includes a portable password manager.

Each license of Sticky Password includes Sticky Password Portable Version absolutely free. Sticky Password Portable can be installed as a USB password manager and taken wherever the user wants to go. It will recognize websites that are used and provide those secure passwords or personal information needed. Information is synched regularly when connected to the primary PC to ensure the user always has up to date information. All information saved on the USB password manager is encoded just as heavily to ensure it is not compromised if the drive is lost or stolen.

Sticky Password provides an easy to use utility that offers safety and security to control access to your online accounts. Forget those weak passwords on important accounts when strong passwords could be easily managed with a portable password manager like Sticky Password.
