Norton Password Manager 2004 review:1 stars (This One Is Worthless) - This program only works some of the time. I would estimate about 25 to 50% of the time it simple doesn't respond when it is suppose to fill in the information or passwords. This means I have to remember my passwords 25 to 50% of the time. When you expect a program to do this for you it is easy to rely on it and thus forget your passwords. I decided to uninstall the program today, relearn my passwords, and throw this program in the garbage which is where it belongs. Maybe it can do a better job there. Stay away from this program because it is really a hassle.1 stars (piece of soft but still crap ...) - I do not have the time to write a review, this Password Manager (PM) does not even deserve that. I will rather show you what You Will have to face if you install this piece of crap and you have any little "trouble" with it like e.g. moving your PM profile from your previous computer to a new computer i.e.

I just created PM profile backup file from my old computer and imported it into the PM fresh installation on the new computer, it just did not work ... the really amazing part is the support response to that.

If you manage to do all they ask you to trouble-free they should give you a NORTON PASSWORD MANAGER certification for free LOL!

************** SUPPORT EMAIL ********************2 stars (Official Norton Password Manager 2004 Review) - If you spend a lot of time on the internet, you probably have dozens of websites you need a username and password to log into. You may be tempted to use the same username and password for all websites, but this is bad for your security. For example, for your online banking account or any site that stores financial or any important information, you should have a unique username and password that is used nowhere else. The problem is it is impossible to remember more than a few usernames and passwords. So what do you do? You use software that will save and automatically fill in your username and password.

Recently I got Norton Password manager 2004 bundled with the latest updates for Norton Antivirus. Although I was perfectly
satisfied using a program called Roboform, I figured Symantec is a big company with lots of money to develop the best product, so just maybe their product may actually beat Roboform. I used it for two weeks and what were my findings? Read on to find out.

While Internet Explorer and some other web browsers have the ability to save form information and usernames/passwords, you have no access to that stored information whatsoever, and you can't even tell what is being stored. That is why you may need password management software. Both software will allow you to save passwords and save form information. That is the minimum you should expect in a password manager. Norton does this satisfactorily but there are some time-saving features that it is missing.

Benefits of Norton Password Manager 2004:

* Save multiple profiles (Save different information to be filled in - work profile, home profile, business profile)
* Save multiple credit cards
* Require password prompting before filling in information (optional--can be turned off)

Time-saving Features Norton is missing:

* View and edit saved usernames and passwords.
* Go to login url - you can go to the login URL (which isn't always on the main page).
* Choose to have forms filled in automatically or click a button when prompted to fill in information.
* Custom fields (Create custom-named fields and enter the information you want filled in. Norton only fills in fields it
recognizes (name, address, city, state, etc.)

Conclusion: Norton Password Manager 2004 can't compete with my favorite password manager. Roboform has all the features Norton has and the missing features I mentioned above. It is simply much more versatile. You have more control over everything it does. Best of all, you can get it for free.
