Identity theft is a common threat, so many of us choose a unique password for each internet account or service we use, which is fine, until you find yourself forgetting which password goes with which account. The solution is to store them all under one 'master' password using Easy Password Manager.

This is a more advanced version of Internet Explorer's "Auto Complete" feature, which fills in web forms with a single click. In practice, this program is more secure because it allows multiple users to keep their details on one PC.

Provided you remember your User Name and master password, all other details can be accessed from a drop-down list. Select one, press the "Go" button, and you will log on to that site.

However, the program wasn't easy to configure and is not compatible with certain websites. That said, there's no doubt that it simplifies the use of web-based email accounts, online shopping sites and discussion boards, while keeping your passwords safe from prying eyes.
