Password Boss Unveils Free Password Manager and Digital Wallet for ConsumersPassword Boss today unveiled its company to the consumer market by introducing a new free password manager and digital wallet designed for anyone who has trouble remembering their passwords. Password Boss is simple to use, giving consumers a superior level of control over how they manage their passwords and personal information. The new app is the only free password manager that allows people to store an unlimited number of passwords, choose where their data is securely stored and share any item in their account with anyone they choose. The product is available for download on Windows PCs and tablets, as well as iOS and Android mobile devices. According to a Harris Interactive (News - Alert) survey of 2,030 U.S. adults conducted for Password Boss1, 92 percent of consumers do not use a password manager to store their passwords for online accounts. When asked about different ways consumers keep track of their passwords, 63 percent said they memorize them, while 43 percent said they write them down on paper (multiple responses allowed). The survey further found that more than half of consumers (54 percent) agree that they need to change their online password habits. "Most people aren't motivated to change their poor password habits," said Password Boss founder and CEO Steve Wise. "Despite the fact that four of ten companies were hacked in 2014, most of us continue to use and reuse crackable passwords that are easy to remember, store passwords in unsafe places and rely too much on clicking 'forgot password' links. As consumers, we want things to be easy. That's why we created Password Boss. By securely storing personal information and synchronizing it across all devices, Password Boss is the easiest way for people to safely login to websites, access their accounts and shop online." Password Boss features include a secure Password Vault, bank-grade security, synchronization across devices, a Digital Wallet with automatic form filling, hassle-free sharing of any data with trusted family members and friends, a personal security score, personal ID storage, and secure internet browsing.
Key security features include local-only decryption of passwords and personal data, 2-step authentication to access any account data, a remote-delete feature to remove data from a stolen device, and Touch ID support in iOS. Password Boss is the only password manager that lets consumers choose where in the world they would like to store and backup their encrypted data. In addition, Password Boss sends consumers up-to-date security notifications and actionable advice when security breaches occur.
