Key Folder is a password manager that helps organize & store passwords, plus other sensitive information, using secure 128-bit Blowfish encryption.
It features a single username & password access, an Explorer-style interface, a password generator, supports multiple users, password expiration, drag 'n drop, it minimizes to the desktray (next to the clock), and more.
As the author points out, Key Folder is suitable for storing information about Website accounts, e-mail accounts, PIN codes, bank account information, credit card numbers, software license/registration codes, and more.
Using a familiar tree structure, you can group similar information in folders (say, all of your Web information) and then squirrel down through sub folders until you arrive at the information you require, clicking on a button to copy the password, etc into the Windows Clipboard.
Because the program itself is secure, you can feel confident that only people who know your username password will be able to access that data.
We were highly impressed with Key Folder. It was easy to use, presented the information you want to store in a convenient form, and was secure.
Get it!
Note: this program is not suitable for Windows 95.
