Everything about Password manager
Application for storing and managing passwords
A password manager is software that stores usernames and passwords in a collection called a password vault. The vault is intended to be encrypted, and its encryption key is commonly derived from a master password chosen by the user. Most password managers can generate passwords, save credentials as they are entered, and fill them when the user returns. Some can also synchronize records between devices, share credentials with other users, and store payment-card details, notes, and documents. Wikipedia →
