ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA -- May 18, 2004 -- Lava Software is now shipping PC-Mac PasswordVault v3.0, a password manager which securely stores website usernames and passwords, Internet banking data and software registration details for convenient and easy access on Windows, MacOS X and MacOS Classic computers. A Linux version is coming soon.
New features in this version include a random password generator, auto-lock timer (with clipboard clear), very powerful import and export functions, masked passwords, combination service type labels, an 'All' category which displays all services, and enhanced support for use in large organizations. Service categories can now be added and changed, and service data files can be saved to any location (such as encrypted disk images).
The new portable version, called 'PC-Mac PasswordVault2Go', runs directly on USB drives, iPods, Zip disks, etc. connected to any Windows or MacOS computer, and comes bundled with the PC-Mac PasswordVault package. It can be set to auto-synchronize to a desktop installation, allowing users to easily and securely bring their password collections with them on the road. This is especially useful for students and travellers, who use a variety of different computers to access the Internet.
Large organizations, such as universities, government departments and companies, are now fully supported. Service collections (website passwords, access codes, etc) for an organization can be regularly updated and securely distributed to users via email or download. Users can easily import these updates, whilst adding and maintaining their own services as well. The unique Master Password Recovery System (MPRS) built into PC-Mac PasswordVault virtually eliminates help desk user support problems with lost passwords.
