CONTENTS:
Did you forget the password for the account which you have created on a website... ? Are you trying your luck to login into the website with all the different combination of the standard password which you always use... ? Tired of keeping track of all the passwords for your different accounts?. It's time to organize all your userid's and passwords in one place safely.
Keep all your account information with user id,password,url and notes information in one place. With PasswordManager, you can organize passwords in multiple files. Data files will be encrypted. Each and every file has to be assigned with a password which will be asked when the file is open for viewing/editing. You can choose to store any personal data which can be stored in tabular form.
This also includes a flexible and configurable random password
generator.
