PW Master is a secure
(AES-256
encryption) password
manager that allows you
to save user IDs, passwords and other sensitive information (such as
social security numbers), optionally associate
them with website URLs, and facilitate logging into
websites.
Websites are constantly improving their security and,
frankly,
trying to defeat automatic user ID and password entry functions
built into browsers. Therefore PW Master supports many options
for user ID and password entry.
PW Master incorporates several advanced
features not commonly found in other password managers, including:
- the ability to specify two-part user IDs that must be
entered
into two fields on the web page,
- the ability to automatically enter the password on a
different
page than the User ID,
- support for passwords that must be entered by
clicking on
the
screen (e.g. with an on-screen numeric pad), and
- the ability to associate a
different
browser with each
website
(if the site works properly only with a particular browser).
Also, PW Master is designed to use files that are
synchronized across different machines (for example via DropBox).
Complete
documentation for PW Master is available as
help within the application.
Macintosh
Requirements
