It is said that the best password manager is our brain. This statement makes sense, but sometimes our brain does not cope, we have to use external resources. The number of passwords per user is growing every year: new social networks, new bank accounts, new registrations in various services, accounts on various services (television, music, Internet service providers, etc.). According to the rules of information security, using the same password for different client services is not rational, because if attackers can, for example, choose a password for your email, they will try to apply it to your other applications such as Internet banking and more. Modern man understands that each service needs its own unique password. The password must be strong, contain a certain number of characters, where among the numbers and letters the reliability of the password is increased by special characters and case changes. It's hard to remember. But remembering one password is beyond the power of most of us. Choosing a convenient and reliable password manager is not an easy task. You really have to trust the service. In the end, it is he who will store your confidential information. In this paper, two dozen password managers were tested and eleven were selected, which are the best in terms of functionality, security and convenience. However, each of the well-known managers does not take into account the individual characteristics of users and needs additions according to their needs. Therefore, the creation of software for storing passwords in encrypted form is relevant. Encrypted passwords can be accessed through the one password you need to remember. Such relationship software was created in this paper, taking into account the needs of corporate and private use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
