As a general rule I recommend people never store password information on their computers. This general rule however is broken when a program comes along and offers encryption 8 times over. What is this magical program? Password Manager XP.


There is an ever increasing number of passwords you have to remember and if you follow good password writting guide lines then you will probably have different passwords for different accounts and those passwords should contain numbers and letters. But how on earth are you ment to remember any password more difficult than your dogs name or 1111112. Along comes Password Manager. This program can securely store as many passwords and usernames as you want. The catch? You have to buy it and you still have to remember one password to get into the program.


Password Manager XP is a well designed, flawlessly executed, piece of code. It is well thought out, with end users needs in mind, rather then the usual, lets see how cool we can make the interface look, or how many silly features we can stick on. This writer paid attention ...
... when they had the form follows function lecture, in software design class. There is nothing in this program that is unnecessary, hard to use, difficult to see, or with out a good purpose.


From the professional install routine, where you are given real choices about how you want to install, to the programs interface, this program exemplifies professionalism. Password Manager XP allows you to create different databases with collections of user names and passwords. Once you create the database, you can add folders and create entries, which appear in the right and column of the interface, with Title, web address, user name, creation date, password, or however else you want to set it up, and in what ever order you want to set it up. You can just drag the columns around to position them. The interface is completely user configurable, and very easy to work with, and there is nothing gimmicky, or superfluous about it.


One of the best features, and the only password program I am aware of that does this, is the flash drive support. The problem with most password manager programs is that they are tied to the windows directory, or registry, in some manner. Put them on another computer's drive and they don't work, or they don't work correctly, or your registration doesn't work. But this is not the case with Password Manager XP. I carry a USB Flash drive with me everywhere and now I can safely bring all my important user name, passwords, credit card, medical, whatever information I need, with me, and know with absolute certainty that the data is safe.


Password Manager XP is ideal for workgroup use. The program lets several users get access to the password databases. Importantly, access rights and privileges can be regulated. All changes inside the database are logged, giving the system administrator complete control over the users' actions.


The software is extremely flexible and you can store a large amount of information even in the trial version. The fields and sections can be customized by the predefined model available in the software. The explorer-like interface is easy to manage and the Help menu will answer all your questions. The Search tool will gain your respect for the software and will prove itself very useful when you reach a gigantic database.


The software rose to my expectations. It is easy to use and it offers great protection for your data.
