Many computer users today have to keep track of dozens of passwords: for network accounts, online services, premium web sites. Some
write their passwords on a piece of paper, leaving their accounts vulnerable to thieves or in-house snoops. Others choose the same
password for different applications, which makes life easy for intruders of all kinds. 

With Password Safe, a free Windows 95 utility from Counterpane Systems, users can keep their passwords securely encrypted on their
computers. A single Safe Combination--just one thing to remember--unlocks them all. 

Password Safe protects passwords with the Blowfish encryption algorithm, a fast, free alternative to DES. The program's security has been
thoroughly verified by Counterpane Systems under the supervision of Bruce Schneier, author of Applied Cryptography and creator of the
Blowfish algorithm. 

Password Safe features a simple, intuitive interface that lets users set up their password database in minutes. You can copy a password just
by double-clicking, and paste it directly into your application. Best of all, Password Safe is completely free: no license requirements,
shareware fees, or other strings attached. 

Password Safe is a product of Counterpane Systems, a Minneapolis-based consulting firm specializing in cryptography and computer
security. Counterpane provides expert consulting in the design, analysis, implementation, and testing of secure systems. The company also
provides product research and forecasting, and a wide variety of training services.
