Between the different court sites, listserves, professional associations, email, networking programs and more, I have a lot of passwords. Up until a month ago they were all the same password (I know, I know). I decided that was not a safe practice for an attorney. Enter Password1. This program is great. It allows you to set up different identities. For example, I have a home profile, a work profile and a I-don’t-know-if-I-trust-this-website profile. For each identity you can place all your contact info, internet info and credit card info. Adding credit card info sounds a bit risky at first but if you know that Amazon.com is not going to burn you and the application is locked down on your computer, why worry? The program runs on the desktop but is cogged into Safari, Firefox and Camino. There is a cool pull down menu for when you visit sites that allows you to sign in in with a click. If it is a new website or sign-up, provide the identity you want and the application fills in the form. In addition, it has a password manager that keeps track of all the sites you visit with the corresponding passwords. Finally, it has a password generator to create new passwords or (in my case) to change all the passwords that you have that are the same (I can’t be the only who did this). The program itself requires a master password to open and use. This software has a number of other built in features worth checking out. For a quick overview go here.
I paid full price for this product after the 30 day trial. Completely worth it.
