According to "techworld", users of Symantec's Norton line of security products have long had access to its password management tools.
Once you install Norton Identity Safe, you'll need to set up an online Norton account, or link Identity Safe to your existing account. You'll also need to set a master password for access to your Vault, which stores all of your login information. You simply surf the web as you normally would. Norton's Identity Safe installs as a toolbar on your browser, and it works in the background. Anytime you enter a password, Identity Safe saves your login details to your Norton Vault, notifying you of the activity via a small bar that appears on the top of your browser screen. The next time you visit that site, Identity Safe automatically logs you in.
Identity Safe also captures personal details that you can use to fill in forms, and saves these profiles as Identity Cards, so you can speed up the process next time you need to enter the info. To manage your logins and Identity Cards, you click the Vault icon that Norton installs on your browser. Identity Safe also evaluates the strength of your passwords and offers tips on creating stronger passwords.
