Research at least four password management applications one
Research at least four password management applications, one of which is a stand-alone application and another of which is a browser-based application. Create a table that lists and compares their features. Which would you recommend? Why?
Solution
A password manager is a software which helps in organizing user\'s all password or pin codes for any website or computer or application. For user convinient a many times The main aim for this password manager application is it saves and remember all user password . Some password manager organize nd store user password as well as data in an encrypted file to provide more security for the user.
most commonly a password application is for standalone or mobile application.
Eg: mSecure password application for mac os
1Password: using AES 256bit encryption
LastPass is also one of the password app
The browser Firefox has a master password add-on feature in it so that has a feature to store passwords in an encrypted format .
logically for personal data storage and all stand alone application is best but to access application like gmail, facebook browser password application suits or the data which is to be accessed anywhere anytime such type of data must be portable so easily can be fetched.
eg if the data is stored in google drive and a user want it urgently so he/she can simply login in any browser app in any system and fetch the data from google drive accordingly, saves time else the user would have searched for its own pc and then would have fetched the data would have taken time.
nowdays stand alone system are obsolete. security mechanism is very high these days so brower based application can create a hugh impct .
