Frequently
Asked Questions
Do you need a Secure Password Manager ...
?
YES. With so many passwords, PIN #'s and access
codes to remember you have probably written some of them
down. Or worse ... do you use the same or similar passwords all
the time? Both of these methods are very insecure
and could give others access to your personal information
and your money. QuantumSAFE will manage
and protect
your personal information.
But Windows remembers my passwords
for me ... ?
Windows will remember
passwords if the web site you are
visiting is configured correctly,
which a significant number are not,
forcing you to write them down.
In addition, if Windows crashes
(not an uncommon event) you will
lose all your passwords as you have
no way of backing them up. QuantumSAFE
provides a convenient SAFE to store
and backup all your passwords.
How does QuantumSAFE work ... ?
QuantumSAFE allows you to store an unlimited
number of passwords, PIN numbers and other access codes using a
single password. All passwords are stored using the latest encryption
techniques to ensure your data is completely safe and only visible
to you. In addition, QuantumSAFE speeds up Username and Password entry on web sites.
How secure is QuantumSAFE ...
?
QuantumSAFE uses the latest 128bit encryption
techniques. It is currently estimated that it would
take all the computer power in the world many, many years
to crack these techniques. (For added
security we will not divulge the exact techniques we
use.) QuantumSAFE keeps
your valuable information securely on your computer and under your control at all times.
Q. How many passwords can I store ... ?
Over 2 Billion.
Q. How does the Multi SAFE version work ... ?
The Multi SAFE version allows a number of people
to store their password on a single computer. This is ideal for
home or office situations where computers are shared. Each person
has their own password and their data is stored in a separate database.
Q. Do I have to run QuantumSAFE every time I need
a password ... ?
No. To save you time, QuantumSAFE runs in your system
tray in the bottom right corner of your screen. Simply double click
the icon to open instantly. Then select your password, click on the
launch button and your
web-site will launch automatically
Q. What other information can I store ... ?
In addition to Usernames and Passwords you can also
store the associated web-site. Then you simply click
on a button to launch. Also, you can store notes against each password
to store additional relevant information.
Q. What is the Access Log for ... ?
QuantumSAFE stores the date and time of the last
3 times you accessed your passwords as an extra security precaution.
Each time you enter, QuantumSAFE displays the time of your last visit
to ensure you were the last person to have access. If you were not
the last person, then someone has discovered your password and is
viewing your data.
Q. How does the intruder alert work ... ?
If someone tries to enter your SAFE with an invalid
password, you will be informed the next time you enter. It may have been a typing error by
yourself but as an extra security precaution you are informed.
