Hi,

Symantec has advised me that if you run Norton 360, it's not compatable with

Norton Password Manager 2004, and it should therefor be deleted.

 

I have searched and tried the free download for several programs, I cant

find a simple Password Manager that will store passwords and credit card

details, and also form fill.

 

Most of those I tried seem more appropriate for the American market, multi

users or networks.

 

Any suggestions would be welcome, thanks.

KeePass is great... been using it for a couple of months now. Don't know how

I did without it.

Re: Password Managers

 

JS Hi

 

Access Manager is a little different from Norton Password Manager, which

actually fills the web page for you, without having to paste the user and

password info.

 

But Access Manager is free and will do me for present.

 

Thanks

RE: Password Managers

 

Here too. Access Manager free. Excellent. They have a paid version too.

Does what it sounds like you are looking for and more. Space for notes,

passphrases, generates passwords, does not copy to notepad when you drag the

username and password to the web form. It doesn't seem to have a limit as to

how many passwords you store.

 

The newest version is built on .NET Framework 2. The older version is still

..NET Framework 1. I just recently updated and never had a problem with any

verions.

I trialed RoboForm for a short time (a couple of days). It will do what

you want, it can encrypt the database, the password to get into the

database can be cleared on certain events (logoff, screen saver, console

lockout, after so many minutes, etc.). Although not well explained,

there are 3 options that need to be concurrently enabled to get the

product to automatically fill in the web form, like a login page;

otherwise, it shows a drop-down list of passcards for that site

(sometimes you have more than one account at a site so you've saved

multiple passcards for it). Unfortunately what you get is a trial

version that will cripple itself after the trial period ends (don't

remember if it was 10 or 30 days). When it cripples itself, only 10

passcards (their term for the form data) can be saved. Well, I have a

hell of lot more than 10 sites where I'd like to save the login

credentials. If you decide you like it then plan on buying it. I was

only looking for a free solution so uninstalled it.

 

I actually don't have a problem with remembering passwords. I came up

with an algorithm that is easily remembered so I know what the password

is at any domain that I visit. However, too often I cannot use my

preferred moniker "Vanguard" at the site because someone else already

took it so I have to pick someone else and it is that different moniker

that I fail to remember (and end up having to record a note in Outlook

to provide a lookup).

 

KeePass is similar to PasswordSafe (both are at sourceforge.net). They

let you save login credentials but they are not automatic form fillers.

Both these products are simply encrypted databases where you can store

the info but need to use their program to retrieve it. There is no

toolbar or button added to the web browser to provide quick access to

the program. They do not capture data from web forms so you can later

automatically fill those same web forms with that saved data. They are

note programs where you get to save some notes.

 

Supposedly the KeePass Toolbar plug-in is supposed to provide web form

to KeePass database integration (to let you save or fill-in login

credentials using their toolbar) but I could not get it to connect to

the KeePass database although KeePass was running as required and the

database was not locked out as required. Also, there is no

configuration of this toolbar so you end up with yet another search box

in its toolbar in Internet Explorer. Haven't a clue why they think they

need to include another search box or won't let you turn it off. Just

wastes more space in the toolbar row. I followed their instructions

(but never did see the prompt to allow access by the toolbar when

starting IE) but could not get it to connect to the running and unlocked

KeePass database. Uninstalled it.

 

I then tried their KeeForm plug-in that is also supposed to provide web

form integration between IE and KeePass. When I read the readme file on

having to edit an .ini file to every and having to double-click entries

back in KeePass (rather than do the web form save from within the

browser), I decided it wasn't polished product and not really geared to

be a web form fill product (and to do more than just login credentials).

Just too much dancing around in these products.

 

Roboform is good but it isn't free ($30). The free version (after the

product cripples itself) is way too limited to bother with. There is

iNetFormFiller but its free version is adware and limits you to 30

"formcards" which still isn't enough for me.
