ActivPass

For better or worse, the internet is an important part in many people's lives, and that importance extends to the accounts they use to authenticate on various websites. Losing an account can be a frustrating experience, so it's best to be precautious and store your sensitive data appropriately.

Password managers are quite popular tools nowadays, and for good reason. More and more people are looking to secure their accounts and generate more secure passwords. ActivPass is a program that can help handle sensitive authentication data within a secure vault, which users will be able to lock with a password.

The idea behind password managers is simple, yet effective: by granting users a secure environment in which they can manage the information for all of their accounts, they'll always know where to look for the relevant authentication data for a given domain. This eliminates the forgetfulness factor when it comes to misremembering an account detail, as the user will always have the correct, relevant data at the ready.

How this particular tool handles this is through containers. A container can contain any number of accounts, and accessing said container requires a master password. Users are free to create as many containers as they want, with each requiring a separate password.

Adding an entry or modifying an existing one is pretty standard for a password manager app. You'll be able to add your username and password for a website, name the entry, as well as attach a note to it. From the same screen, users will also be able to generate a more resilient password, whose length and complexity can be freely modified through a set of parameters.

Users who prefer a local approach to their password manager can thus find something to like in ActivPass. It's as straightforward as they come, in terms of offering the core functionality you'd need from a password manager.
