We created Passguard to solve common problems we all share:
- To help protect identities by making it easy to create and use complex and different logins for every site.
- To make it easy to retrieve logins and bookmarks by making them searchable.
- To keep track of multiple logins to the same site via the use of key words or other identifiers.
- To help keep up with changing authentication requirements.
- To enable bookmark and login sharing across computers without resorting to writing anything down or relying on devices like PDA's, key fob's or anything that could be stolen or lost.
- To be able to access bookmarks from any computer, PC or MAC
- To offer the utmost security for our users.
We are proud of our record of over 10 years without any data compromises. We trust our sensitive information to Passguard. For our user guide and product support, click here.
