What good is a password list manager that secures your secret passwords
using a master password and then forces you to enter it each time you
want to access your password list? 4UOnly is a password manager for
Microsoft WindowsTM 98/Me/NT4/2000/XP and Server 2003 with a unique
feature that saves you time while promoting good security: No longer are
you required to enter your master decryption password each time you need
to access your password list. A built-in password generator is included
to further enhance your security. Convenient automatic launching of
login web pages is also provided to reduce your login time.

In this era of heightened concern for security, we recommend that you
use a unique password for each of your various accounts. It is also
important that you frequently change your passwords in order to limit
exposure should one be discovered. To track these numerous and ever
changing account and passwords, password list management programs are
often used.

The main drawback of most of these programs is that they use a master
encryption password to protect your list of accounts and passwords from
disclosure. It then becomes very tedious to specify this password each
time you wish to access your password list so there is often a tendency
to choose weak passwords since they are easily remembered. Furthermore,
constant and repeated use of the master password increases the risk of
discovery.

4Uonly overcomes this problem by capitalizing on the knowledge that your
identity was authenticated when you logged in to Windows. It uses your
own unique Windows security fingerprint to encrypt and decrypt your
password crypt file. Your password list can only be viewed without
providing a master password when you are logged in to the Windows
account that was in use when the list was last saved.
