Password Shield is a secure password manager that allows you to input a password into a field on a Web form or similar input box without actually knowing or seeing the password. Password Shield will only input the password into a masked input box, so even when the password has been input, the user does not see the password. This is useful for companies that need to give their employees access to certain secure systems but want to keep passwords secret. A typical example would be a company that needs to allow their employees to remotely access other companies' computers to do maintenance work, but does not want to give the employees the actual system passwords they have been entrusted with. Another example would be a company that needs to give its employees access to the company PayPal or online bank accounts, but does not want the employees to have the passwords, which they might then use to access the accounts from home.
Password shield is a secure password manager for three reasons:
The people inputting the password to a secure site do not actually know the password, thus preventing them from stealing the passwords
Password Shield keeps a log of who uses teh passwords, and when. This allows you to easily investigate suspicious activity.
Most key loggers (spyware keyloggers) cannot intercept a password sent from Password Shield to a Web form, because the field is actually set in the form, rather than keystrokes being sent.
Password Shield is available as shareware ($25.00 individual fee, with volume discounts available). Try it for 30 days to see if you like it before you have to pay for it.
