Password Manager
Passwords! We all have quite a number of them – especially if you regularly access websites or use
applications that require you to log in. The normal user either uses the same password for every
application and website, or gets really creative and promptly forgets which password goes with which
application.
Password Manager can automatically remember your passwords to sites that are not critical or give
you the ability to discern which sites to remember and which to omit. Once you sign on to the
computer, Password Manager will provide your passwords or credentials as needed.
When you access any application or website requiring credentials, Password Manager will
automatically recognize the site, and will ask if you want the software to remember your information. If
you want to exclude certain sites, you can decline the request.
To start saving web locations, user names, and passwords:
1. As an example, navigate to your web mail account and click the Password Manager icon in the
upper-left corner of the Web page to add the web authentication.
2. Name the link (optional) and enter a user name and password into Password Manager.
NOTE: The areas that Password Manager will use now and for subsequent visits are
highlighted.
3. When complete, click the OK button.
4. Password Manager can also save your user name and passwords for network shares or
mapped network drives.
