Siber Systems offers free password management service

FAIRFAX, USA: Siber Systems, Inc., maker of RoboForm, most popular password manager, has announced a one-time promotion aimed at helping people prevent the potentially devastating fallout that can arise from a major password hack.

Following the recent news that hackers stole and posted two million passwords from Facebook, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google, Siber Systems said, "the company has pledged to give away a free year of RoboForm Everywhere, its cross-platform password management software, to anyone who downloads the product by Friday, December 6."

"Hacks of user accounts at major companies are happening with increasing frequency. In April, over 50 million Living Social customers were affected by hackers," said Bill Carey, Siber Systems VP of Marketing.

"What compounds these problems is that many people use the same password for multiple purposes - social media sites, e-commerce sites, healthcare accounts, banking and more. We want people to know that there is a better solution. By using a password manager they can maintain different passwords for every purpose, without the inconvenience of having to remember each one. Our pledge is to give everyone the opportunity to experience this better alternative for free."

RoboForm makes the process of logging into websites, user accounts and applications effortless.

By automatically saving and then entering user names and passwords on demand, RoboForm lets users log in with a single click, similar to using a browser bookmark.
