We are pleased to announce new version of Sticky Password Manager!

New way for adding accounts
Improved auto-fill engine
Improvements to Password Protector feature
Other improvements
Portable Mode becomes more useful
Portable mode is the most useful feature since implementing first version of Sticky Password Manager. If you are not using it yet, please learn why it is so useful
Now you can set option to ask master password once for each computer where you running Sticky Password. This is very useful when you use two or more confident computers, for example - your home and office computers. When you are running Sticky Password first time on the specific computer, it will ask you to enter the master password. If the master password has been entered correctly, it will ask you whether you wish to remember the password on this computer and unlock Sticky Password automatically when you next time will run it.
Also we've added two menu items that will make work with portable mode much easier. First item allows to create portable mode instance without going to Settings dialog, second item allows to synchronize password databases between portable and local instances of Sticky Password. Synchronize menu item is visible only when the portable device is plugged to the computer.

New way for adding accounts
This version introduces option to add new web accounts just by entering their URL. Just choose "Add account" item from main Sticky Password menu, specify the desired account name, your login and password. Switch to "Sticky Feature" tab. On this tab you can type in the web site URL to the "Link" field or choose URL from Internet Explorer favourites.

Improved auto-fill engine
The following features were added:
Web browser login dialog linked to the web site URL now
Filing login and password fields on multiple tabs in Firefox becomes more useful
When you switch to previously inactive tab, it will display you the list of available logins (in case if account have more than one login)
Any web browser, based on Internet Explorer's engine will support automatic password filing
Important notice for existing Sticky Password customers!
The following task needs to be performed once for each account which was linked to the web browser dialog using earlier versions of Sticky Password.
If you have any accounts, linked to web browser dialogs, you will need to re-assign them again. Initially web dialogs were linked by their captions, now we can link them to accounts by their URL. The better practice to perform this update is the following: 1. Open the web site area that requires your login.
2. Open the Manage Database dialog in Sticky Password.
3. Find the appropriate account for the web site that you have opened on step #1.
4. Choose "Edit account" and switch to "Sticky Feature" page.
5. Drag the "Sticky Pointer" to the login window to associate the account with the web site.
6. Click OK button and save your changes to the database.
