Today, I would like to introduce you to Trend Micro Password Manager – from the makers of Trend Micro Go Everywhere & Trend Micro Safe Guard- which works on Windows PCs, Macs, iOS and Android mobile devices, and you can use it on as many of these devices as you want and use it across multiple devices. It is available as a desktop software as well as a Windows Store app.
Trend Micro Password Manager for PC
Trend Micro Password Manager earlier called Trend Micro DirectPass is a convenient and secure way to save your passwords and log in to websites which require credentials. The main feature of this password manager is that it encrypts your keystrokes and passwords and thus protects everything you type from being read by cybercriminals. It will help you gain easy access to all your online accounts by allowing you to manage your online credentials with in-the-cloud synchronization across multiple devices.
Once you have downloaded DirectPass, you will be required to create an account at Trend Micro. Only then will you be able to proceed with the installation and use.
Now whenever you visit any website that requires a login, DirectPass will ask you if you would like to save the credentials, so that the next time onwards you need to remember and enter only your master password to fill in the credentials box.
