Abstract

In the modern world, with the increase in the services provided through the internet, a typical person uses a lot of websites which are providing diverge services such as social networking, job hunting, banking, e-mails, push messaging, e-commerce websites, matrimonial services, electronic newspapers and magazines, discussion groups, educational websites and blogs. These websites may be providing us with different services using various technologies but they have one thing in common, they all require you to have an account in order for you to access those services or to get a premium membership. So many accounts requires a lot of passwords to remember, so we end up using simple passwords instead of complex ones, which are easy to hack, jeopardising our privacy and
endangering our personal as well as professional information. A Password manager helps you with just that, it provides you with an interface where you can store all your passwords of the various accounts you use and get an access to them with just a single master password. It’s easy and most of all safe.
