STICKY PASSWORD Review by Mary Pearson

Original version

Sticky Password supports Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Foxfire browsers.

Before the installation is completed, this program provides the opportunity to view a movie clip demo. There was no sound to the clip, and it moved very fast. In fact, the clip repeated itself several times before I realized it. If there was sound to this clip, I could have followed it much easier. I found it to be very confusing, and not helpful at all. I closed out the "Installing Sticky Password" screen and the "Set up Wizard" FINISH icon appeared. I clicked the FINISH icon, and the movie clip demo appeared again, continuing to repeat itself much too quickly to absorb.

The next screen was STICKY PASSWORD INTRO. This screen was very instructive, and gave exact step-by-step procedures for using the program, and a description of how the program will benefit the user.

After the installation is completed, STICKY PASSWORD was an icon on my desktop and also an icon next to the system clock. I clicked on the icon next to the system clock, and there are step-by-step instructions on entering your MASTER PASSWORD. This is the only password you will ever have to remember if you use this program. This is the only program I have come across that tells you that the caps lock is on and suggests you might have future problems with the password in upper case. Previously having had this problem, I appreciated the suggestion.

After this, adding your passwords is easy. When you are on a screen that needs a password, just click on the STICKY PASSWORD icon and enter your ID and password in the area provided. STICKY PASSWORD automatically enters your ID and password into its database. The next time you open that screen, just click on the "sign in" icon, and STICKY PASSWORD will automatically enter your ID and password in the boxes provided. As long as you have STICKY PASSWORD and your master password, you will not need to remember where you wrote down the password you need. The database allows you to change your passwords easily. STICKY PASSWORD has free updates, so hopefully, when Microsoft upgrades to its new and improved operating system, you can bring your STICKY PASSWORD program along.

A good safety feature of this program is that if you walk away from your computer, leaving it on, STICKY PASSWORD will automatically lock its database after five minutes. It is easy to unlock, with a click of the icon and the master password. Another good safety feature--the program claims to prevent password phishing and identity theft, and did indicate that some of my passwords had been unprotected.

With the exception of the too-fast movie clip demos, during the installation stage, I am very pleased with this program. I can see that I am going to rely on the ease of always being able to access my passwords, and if any of you have ever sat wondering where on earth you wrote down that specific password, you should seriously consider acquiring STICKY PASSWORD.

Sticky Password is a Try-Before-You-Buy software, so you can try all its features absolutely for free!
