Aurora Password Manager Reviewer's Comments

Although not the most intuitive password manager we reviewed, Aurora Password Manager is easy-to-use, integrates directly with Internet Explorer and has a very short learning curve.

Features Set:  

The Internet Explorer toolbar plug-in is extremely convenient and useful. The software integrates directly with your browser, making for easy access. Additional features include the ability to transfer the application to a portable device like a flash drive to take your passwords on the go and store information for a variety of logins including credit cards and contacts.

The ability to prompt you to save passwords, automatically detect a website in the database and integrate with Firefox would have given Aurora Password Manager a top feature score.

Ease of Use:  

Aurora Password Manager is easy-to-use, but not really intuitive. When you are signing into a site you have to be sure to press the save button in the tool bar manually. Aurora will not prompt you to save before the site logs you in.

Ease of Installation:  

We had no problems installing Aurora Password Manager.

Help/Support:  

Aurora Password Manager includes an in-program user guide that will answer most of your questions. However, there is no help online and at the time of this review we still haven't received a response to our email to customer support.

Security:  

With Aurora you can back up your database, print a hard copy of your logins and lock the application from other users. The built-in password generator can create a password with up to 10,000 characters.

Summary:  

Aurora’s simple integration makes this a great program to use, but we’d like to see compatibility with additional browsers, more intuitive auto-fill prompting and more comprehensive support for this program to slip into one of the top spots.
