1Password

1Password allows you to store lots of information in a vault: logins, credit card details, social security numbers, bank account info, email account details, software licenses, notes, and identities. Access to the vault is password protected, of course. Thus, you and you alone have access to the data stored by 1Password. Not only can you securely store passwords (and other sensitive information), you can also use 1Password to create strong passwords. So to sum it all up, you can use 1Password to create strong passwords, securely store all your passwords, and efficiently manage all your passwords.

1Password is available for multiple platforms: Microsoft’s Windows operating system, Apple’s Mac OS X and iOS, and Google’s Android mobile operating system.

A wizard will help you install 1Password on a Windows-powered machine. Once the installation process completes, you will be asked to create a new 1Password vault, enter a master password (it will block access to the aforementioned vault), and choose if you want to install 1Password browser extensions. At startup, 1Password will automatically check for new versions.

As mentioned at the start of this article, you can use 1Password to store logins, credit card details, social security numbers, bank account info, email account details, software licenses, notes, and identities. All these items are grouped into a handful of categories and the panel on the left hand side of 1Password’s interface lists these categories. From the panel on the left hand side you can easily go over all the data stored by 1Password.
