Comodo i-Vault 3.0.0.1 provides secure password management with anti-keylogging features. The software comes from a vendor with an excellent reputation; yet the password manager with a drag & drop' interface is a bit complicated to set up. System requirements are not available, but I have positively tested the software built in 2005 on Windows XP. The manual, frankly, is useless. On the positive side: Comodo i-Vault 3.0.0.1 lets you make safe notes.

PassLocker 2.2 lets you save and store all your passwords in a nice interface. The manual is very good otherwise, yet no information about system requirements is available: I have been able to test the software on Windows XP and Vista where both installations did not permit me to edit the predefined groups such as Internet for example. This makes it unnecessary difficult to use. The free version does not let you install the password manager onto removable media.
| Password Dragon | Rating |
Password Dragon 5 is a Java based feature-rich password manager which runs on Windows, Linux and Mac with Java installed. The software can be launched from removable media including USB Flash drives, but the GUI is a bit standard Java-like. In a way, Password Dragon resembles a student project, but from the many I have seen this one is the only one which makes it to the Best Free Password Managers list not least because of it excellent help section.
The Bottom Line
Please note that if you forget the master password there is nothing which can be done to unlock a password manager, and chances are high that you won’t be able to retrieve all password by means of forget password mails and the like. Thus, use a master password which you can easily remember, but make sure it is secure at the same time.
I have checked out roughly 50 password managers; most of which were of poor quality or outdated. Even among the best free password managers and the top free password manager Keepass Password Safe is a huge gap in quality and functionality. I use Keepass myself and can fully recommend as an excellent piece of software.
