Passwords are something you definitely do not want to share. If you don't keep them safe, anyone can find and use them for dishonest reasons. Instead of keeping log in information on a piece of paper or in a notebook, which can be read by anyone, you can store it on your hard drive with SCARABAY. Using it, you will be able to sort your accounts and passwords, encrypt and protect them with a master password.

SCARABAY is lightweight, therefore it can be downloaded in a few seconds, even with a slower Internet connection. The installation process will be just as fast and you can have it up and running on any operating system, from Windows 98 to Windows 7.

The software's compact interface consists of a tree structure, where you can organize your accounts in different folders. Creating or editing a new entry can be done in a separate window, after clicking one of the buttons on the right side of the window. You can type information such as the name of the account, the log in name and password, email address, the URL of the Log in page and comments. While inserting this information, a password can be created and inserted automatically by clicking a button on the same window. The program will generate a password, using random letters and numbers, in upper or lower case. You can specify what characters to be included in the password from the general options panel.

The generated password will be hard to remember, but that is the idea. If it contains random characters, it will be harder to crack. When you need to log into an account, SCARABAY can automatically fill in the user name and password. While on the sign in page, you only need to select the corresponding account in the program's interface and click the Automatic Filling button. This works for most web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and others.

If your browser is not supported, you can still fill in the log in details without typing. When you select an account in the tree structure, the user name and password will be displayed above it (the password will be displayed with special characters, of course). These can be clicked and dragged over the appropriate dialog boxes on your browser and they will be filled in automatically.

Pros

SCARABAY is lightweight and straightforward. It can be downloaded and installed fast and its features are very easy to use, due to its logical design. A good reason why you should use this software is that it spares you from typing a password. It goes without saying that it is an effective countermeasure to keyloggers.

Cons

The program does not seem to work with Google Chrome. However, you can still click and drag a user name and password to a Chrome page just as well. Regardless of how many accounts you have, they are safe with SCARABAY. It lets you organize them in a neat fashion and it will protect them with a strong encryption protocol.
