The thing that stays between us and the people with malicious intents, that would like to get their hands on our stuff, is a properly strong password. Take your email account, for example. Can you imagine if someone were to crack your password, gain access to your inbox and read all you emails? Or even worse, start sending emails in your name?

Security experts from every company in the world have for long been telling us to pick a properly strong password. One that is not a simple dictionary word, or can be easily guessed (your pet’s name, your birthday, or something like that). They have been telling us to pick a password that is made up of letters, numbers and symbols. They have also been telling us not to recycle passwords (use the same password on all your online accounts, for example).

What do you do if you have a whole bunch of different passwords? Like one for your email account, one for your social networking account, one for your personal webpage, one for your blog, and so on? You couldn’t possibly remember them all. So you will need to write them down.

From a security point of view, it would be unwise to put all your passwords down on a piece of paper and keep it near your computer. Anyone could see the paper and compromise your password. It is equally unsafe to write them down in a text editor and save them on your computer. It’s definitely not safe since anyone could open that file and take a glance inside.

If you want to ensure all your passwords are kept safe and protected, you need a password manager – a specialized software application that stores all your passwords, credit card details, PIN numbers, and other sensitive information in an encrypted database. One such application is Access Manager. It's a program that can store different types of passwords in one place.

The program supports almost any Windows version and can be installed with minimum effort by any type of users. It takes up about 4 MB of hard disk space.

Access Manager features a sample password entry, for allowing the user to get familiar with the software's functions. Besides easily storing passwords and user names, Access Manager can also generate complex passwords that are difficult to break by hackers. This way, you can be sure that your online account will be safe.

A master password can be set, for protecting the software from unauthorized access. This way, you can be sure that all your passwords will be safe.

Pros

It can store any type of password and user name. Besides that, it features a simple interface that anyone can use. Furthermore, a master password can be set, for protecting the software from unauthorized access. Last but not least, it includes a password generator, for making up secure passwords.

Cons

The menu system seems a bit complicated. Access Manager is a powerful password manager that can store any kind of password or user name.
