Password Prime's straightforward user interface is the perfect balance of simplicity and functionality. It proves that you don't need a lot of fancy buttons to get the job done.

Large, self-explanatory command buttons dominate the program's interface. There's a button for adding new username, password, and Web site information, a button for editing the entry, and a button for deleting the entry. You'll also find a series of buttons for copying the username and password information. We quickly jumped in without referring to the Help file and added our log-in information. One click took us to our entry's corresponding Web site, something that most browser password managers don't do. Username and password information are easily cut and pasted into their respective fields. We were able to just as easily edit and delete the same entry.

A good password manager should make it easier for you to manage and organize log-in information, and Password Prime does just that. It's recommended for all skill levels.
