Password Manager XP is a light and easy-to-use software tool whose major purpose is to store and keep secure your sensitive information - such as passwords, user names, credit card numbers, codes, and similar information - through the use of encrypted databases.
The program's main interface is pretty clear and practical. It provides a panel where you can manage your registered databases, allowing you to open any of them or create new ones. It comes with a sample database that helps you to understand how the program works and how the databases are structured in no time. Every database you have is password-protected, and it will allow you to save all kinds of personal information in a hierarchical way. You can create folders and subfolders to properly organize your information, where you can add and store new records that you can then manage in a separate panel. By default, a folder inherits its parent's fields and structure, but you can customize it and add new fields or delete existing ones.
But, as I said, the program also includes additional tools and functionality. For example, it can be installed on a removable device (e.g., a flash memory) so that you can run it anywhere; and includes a useful password generator, a separate module that allows you to easily create passwords - one at a time - with the length of your choice, with upper and/or lower case letters, with digits and special symbols, or with custom and exclusion characters. You can even select a password template.
As you can see, Password Manager XP is a comprehensive software tool that provides you with all the tools you need to keep your critical information safe and encrypted, and to access it easily. Unfortunately, its trial version presents several limitations: you can test it only for 30 days, and it allows you to create and manage only two databases with up to 30 records each.
