The simple rule of having a secured password is not to use the same password on all websites. If possible, try to use random characters that doesn’t make a word as password to prevent from being cracked with dictionary attack. However, it is impossible for us to remember our passwords if we follow this two rule because as time goes by, we’ll be remembering more and more passwords. That’s when a password manager comes in to help us.

Let’s start off this week with a promotion offer on the latest version of Steganos Password Manager with genuine serial key code that I managed to dig out. For people who is not using any password manager, or even if you’re using the free limited version of Roboform, perhaps you could give Steganos Password Manager 2007 a try. Steganos is a 10 years company that is specialized in security and encryption. If you’ve used their encryption software before, rest assured that your sensitive data will remain encrypted.

Steganos Password Manager 2007 normally cost $19.95 but it will be free if you follow the steps which I am about to show you.

With Steganos Password Manager 2007 you can manage your passwords: user accounts, ATM card numbers, access codes for your online service, TANs or the security code for your cell phone.

I noticed from last time that all Steganos software installation file is huge. The setup file for Steganos Password Manager 2007 is 14MB. At first I thought this software is a bloatware but I don’t find the program bloated at all. In fact it loads pretty fast! What I like about this software is it can synchronize password data with a Pocket PC. It has nearly everything of a password manager except the ability to run it from a USB flash drive. Maybe in future version it will support external portable drives.

There’s also a free license promotion for Steganos Security Suite 2007 which I found much earlier but I won’t be writing about it because it is no longer being sold and is replaced by Steganos Privacy Suite 2008.
