Password Vault




We often hear reports of security experts telling us not to use one single username and password for all our online accounts, but these days there’s so many websites that requires us to login, and thousands (or millions?) of bulletin boards, besides those common ones like Facebook and Twitter. Luckily you can link your Blogspot and Blogger account with your Google account and YouTube, but not the other millions of websites.

It’s already very tough to remember a single password if we were to add alphabets with numbers and symbols and even CAPS, what’s more to say we need to remember five different combination, or more. Also, let’s spread that even more too to personal and official accounts. That’s why products like this Password Vault are sometime very crucial for those that lack memory in the brain.

Online store Hammacher has already started selling the Password Vault that safeguards your account information for website addresses, usernames, passwords, and ATM PINs, and everything else, and stores them for immediate retrieval. Unlike password information stored on a computer, your passwords are safely stored offline in the vault’s memory; ensuring sensitive information can never be compromised, until you lost it on the cab and got picked up by a hacker of course.

Anyway, the gadget can store up to 400 account records, eliminating the risky practice of leaving passwords on notes under keyboards or using one password for all accounts. The Password Vault hides all of your secret information behind its own password, which you could also quite easily forget. In case the device is misplaced, lost, or stolen, five unsuccessful attempts to access your accounts will lock the device for 30 minutes. You can also reset the device to erase all of your secret data. The Password Vault retails for just $49.95 each.
