Password Depot offers users a safe-house to store all of their usernames and passwords. We found it extremely intuitive to navigate and were impressed by its variety of customization options.
The program requires that you enter a master password to access the program. Very straightforward command buttons line the top of the program's user interface (Add, Delete, Modify, Search, and so on). The Group feature made it easy to organize and quickly locate our different password accounts. Entering new information was simply a matter of clicking the Add button, and inputting our username, password, URL, and assigning it an expiration date and a category, such as Internet or Home Banking. Our password information was instantly saved and displayed in its own separate window. The program includes the capability to copy the password, username, or URL to your clipboard to instantly paste wherever needed. Using the same commands at the top of the screen, we were able to quickly modify our password details, print them, and finally, delete them altogether. We were surprised by the amount of customization options that Password Depot included, from editing how our passwords were displayed, to assigning an overall password policy for minimum length and characters.
The program comes with tons of help, including a searchable Help menu, as well as a tutorial. The 30-day trial period is plenty of time for even the most novice user to learn its ins and outs. It did install desktop icons without asking, but it uninstalled cleanly. We highly recommend Password Depot for anyone looking to keep their password information safe and sound.

"I chose Password Depot after trying others"
Version: Password Depot 6.2.2
Pros
I find it easy to use on my home desktop and on my USB flash drives. I also find it helpful with the countless computer passwords required at work. What I appreciate most is that passwords are encrypted and stored on my personal drives, not on a cloud somewhere. Call me paranoid if you will, but I have zero confidence in clouds.
Cons
This is a very intuitive program and I rarely need to use the help file. However, the two times I have needed the help file I didn't find the information I was searching for. Don't get me wrong, the help file for this program is well categorized and extensive. As I said the program is very intuitive and I solved my issues with a little patience and persistence.
Summary
I tried several highly recommended password managers before I chose Password Depot. The user interface is easy to use, it features AES-256 encryption, it has a great password generator, it also has "Program Protection" which protects Password Depot itself, and a host of other useful functions if you care to use them. Although Password Depot can also function with servers I was sold on the ability to store my encrypted passwords locally on my devices. I've been using Password depot approximately one year and I've found updates are sufficient to keep up with browser updates. I do not work for the company I'm just a happy user of their software. I recommend you give Password Depot a try if your looking for a strong password manager.

Sorry, my comments refer to the wrong software. I did not like using Password Depot. I deleted it and downloaded Last Pass Software instead. Last Pass works like a charm -- all comments refer to it not Password Depot
