Password Gorilla

The Password Gorilla helps you manage your logins. It stores all your user names and passwords, along with login information and other notes, in a securely encrypted file. A single "master password" is used to protect the file. This way, you only need to remember the single master password, instead of the many logins that you use.

If you want to log in to a service or Web site, the Password Gorilla copies your user name and password to the clipboard, so that you can easily paste it into your Web browser or other application. Because the password does not appear on the screen, Password Gorilla is safe to use in the presence of others.

The convenience of Password Gorilla allows you to choose different, non-intuitive passwords for each service. An integrated random password generator can provide one-time passwords, tunable to various services' policies.

Password Gorilla is designed to be compatible with the Password Safe program, which was originally developed by Counterpane Labs, and is now maintained as an Open Source project at Sourceforge. All credit for the idea and the technology behind Password Gorilla belong to the authors and maintainers of Password Safe.

While Password Safe is an excellent piece of free software, it is only available for the Microsoft Windows platform. Password Gorilla is compatible with most major operating systems, including Apple Macintosh OS X and diverse flavors of Unix. If you work with more than just Windows, Password Gorilla allows you to access your password database anywhere.

No matter which operating system, Password Gorilla offers a few stand-out features, such as the merging of password databases. This is particularly useful if you have multiple copies of your database (e.g., at home and at work). Occasionally, you can then merge the two databases, collecting the updates you made on either end.

Also, Password Gorilla is an independent alternative to Password Safe. In the unlikely event that development of Password Safe is ever discontinued, you will still be able to use Password Gorilla to access your password database files.
