subject: Password Protection And Login Security [print this page] Password protection is becoming more critical in an era when login security is lax and personal information is not difficult to establish by determined people. Identity theft is only one problem arising from lax login security systems, particularly in an age when internet banking and online shopping is becoming increasingly more popular and commonplace. Also important is the use of passwords across a multiplicity of mobile devices and the possibility of these being hacked without a secure means of storing them.
Password protection can be managed for sensitive documents, online banking or membership sites. Identity theft and fraud often occur through poor login security, and the result can be loss of cash from your bank account or goods being ordered from an online store account in your name but delivered to a third party.
Secure Password Protection
It is important that you protect your passwords and other login details as best you can, and that you password details are not stored on your hard drive. There are those that are able to easily hack into your hard disk and find where you store your passwords and security details.
USB storage is very secure, because you can keep the USB stick separate from your computer or mobile device, even on your person, and insert it into the slot whenever you need to enter user names and passwords that are not immediately available to your memory. This password sync system is generally looked upon as being the most efficient and secure means available to maintain the safety of your identity and your personal details online. It offers a degree of login security that no other password protection method can equal.
Single-Click Form Filling
Another benefit of such password protection systems is that they not only enable you to fill in your login details with one click of a button, but also enable you to complete long forms with your personal details. If you have an online business, you will be well aware of the number of forms you have to fill in with your personal details for one purpose or another.
You can achieve this with a single click using the right security system - simply create a profile containing all the personal information that might be asked of you when filling in forms, and then when you are asked for your contact details, date of birth and other details simple click a button to fill in all the relevant fields or boxes! You can save a considerable amount of time with a facility such as that.
USB Storage and Password Sync
However, it the portability and password sync capability that renders such systems so useful. You can get access to your firm's main server while you travel, or can pay bills or check out your bank account using a friend's iPad or even a cell phone. This is easily done with a portable password protection system, offering login security and password sync between portable devices. You can even use an iPad or a cell phone with a standard or mini USB slot: adaptors are available to convert between standard and mini USB slots.
