Granted, the key to guarding yourself against identity theft, hacking, unauthorized use of software and stolen information is to create a sound and unique password for each one of your accounts. While it may seem manageable when you are using only a handful of social networks and emails, remembering unique IDs and passwords for dozens of online services.

PWMinder is an application that enables you to store passwords and other sensitive information, such as online banking details, for instance, in an encrypted file.

Upon a straightforward installation, you come face to face with a clean interface that consists of two main regions, namely a dashboard and a panel where you can add and edit your usernames and passwords for your accounts.

Before you can record your passwords, first you need to create a repository, an option that can help you organize and differentiate your work, personal, casual or frequently used passcodes. A further noteworthy function is represented by the categories that make storing and finding the credentials for your emails, bank accounts, software accounts or various websites intutitive.

In addition to storing the repository of passwords in an encrypted file, the application also enables you to encrypt other files you may want to protect. However, it is recommended that you note the encryption algorithm that you employed for this task, as otherwise you cannot decrypt them later on.

The program also comes with a shredder that allows you to safely erase sensitive files from your computer, so that they cannot be recovered. In addition, it comes with a password generator and evaluator, features that can surely come in handy when you are creating a new account or just want to renew your password for the existing ones.

All in all, PWMinder comes with a bundle of password management features and file deletion options that can help you better protect your computer, sensitive information and your accounts.
