Password Agent is a database type software that manages logins and passwords. This program is simple in design, but difficult to manage. The software works separately from your Internet browser and only allows you to use the auto–fill options if the application is open. You still have to click the autofill button, and make sure your cursor is in the exact place you want the information filled in, otherwise Password Agent will enter the data in the wrong place. Overall, Password Agent feels far less intuitive than the higher ranked products.

We found that you have to manually adjust the form filler commands if you are signing into anything more complicated than username and password. These are database commands that imitate keystrokes; so, if you have to press tab or enter more than once to sign into an account (like Amazon) you have to manually go into Password Agent and change the “template.”

We had difficulty navigating through the program’s many features. Password Agent does provide a manual, which is in an Adobe format. If you don’t have an Adobe reader many of your questions will go unanswered.

Once you get through the user manual and play with the program Password Agent can be an effective password management system. If you are looking for similar programs that are easier to use, and don’t require manual manipulation, we suggest the #1 product, RoboForm, or #2 product, TurboPasswords .
