Staying secure online
Nowadays many web sites ask you to create a login and a password.
We're told we should never re-use passwords and that our passwords should not be something easily guessed. However the reality is that for most of us this just isn't feasible - there is no way we could remember large numbers of unique passwords. One solution is to write them down or store them unprotected on your PC but this is risky...
"Weak passwords leave British open to cybercrime. Our tendency to use easy to remember passwords is making the job easy for identity thieves." 1
"Research has revealed that 83 per cent of the UK population still use either their date of birth, pet name, street name or maiden name as a password." 1
"Very few computer users seem to have woken up to the risks of using weak passwords and the same ones for every site they visit." 2
How PortableSafe can help
PortableSafe is a software solution that keeps all your passwords and other private information locked in a secure encrypted file. Included within the program is a configurable password generator which allows you to create secure passwords.
Now all you need is just one 'master' password to access all your passwords and private information.
Best of all you can carry PortableSafe around with you on a USB key, as strong encryption keeps your information completely safe and secure. The program can be used on other PCs without installing it or leaving any other trace of your activity. So you have access to your personal data on the move, just as you would on your own PC. And when you unplug the device, none of your personal data is left behind.
