CNET Editors' review
Have you just about run out of phrases, dates, and names that add up to strong but memorable passwords? And yet you're constantly being prompted to update your old passwords with new, strong passwords, or you have to create new one when you forget your logon ID or password, again. Sound familiar? What you need is a tool that can generate, manage, and store strong, secure passwords for all your access points. Lamantine Software's Sticky Password Free is just such a tool. It can create strong passwords for all your sites and apps, store them in securely with encryption on your PC or a USB drive or other remote device, and log you in automatically. It's compatible with Chrome, Firefox, IE, and other browsers, and it can import data from browsers and other programs. It supports multiple accounts so each user can have their own master password and database. It backs up passwords automatically so you can retrieve lost passwords if necessary. It even stores secure memos. The fully functional freeware version is limited to 15 accounts.
Sticky Password Free opened with a Configuration Wizard, which started with creating a Master Password. The wizard rates password strength. Users must verify they've read a text box describing the importance of the Master Password to be able to click Next. The next step is to install autofill plug-ins for your supported browsers, including an optional but advised step to disable each browser's limited built-in password managing feature to prevent conflicts with Sticky Password. Finally, we entered our Master Password to unlock Sticky Password.
Sticky Password Free's colorful interface is dominated by three large buttons: Getting Started, Web Accounts, and Identities. A toolbar replicates all three and adds Bookmarks and App accounts. Naturally, we started with Getting Started, which includes a tutorial describing how to unlock and manage the program via its systray menu, which also opens the Password Generator and the Quick Launch Box. We configured our Web Accounts, which included importing data from multiple sources via a wizard. That's just for starters; Sticky Password Free is a flexible tool that does a lot.

"Not for me."
Version: Sticky Password Free 6.0.8.437
Pros
Seemed capable of doing the job once a learning curve was negotiated.
Cons
On first set-up the program only offered storage of all of my passwords on 'the cloud'. Not interested in that. Received an email in response to my exit interview saying the option to store locally is available. Too late - I was already trying out LastPassword.
Summary
Not everyone in the world is as thrilled with 'the cloud' as programmers seem to be. The instructions should be more explicit and do a better job of describing the program process.
Sorry. Reviewing and installing too many programs. The major problem with Sticky Passwords is it kept logging me out while I was setting the program up. I needed a password program to replace Norton and did not want to enter a password constantly.

"Wasn't want I was looking for"
Version: Sticky Password Free 5.0.3.217
Pros
It will do the basic, fundamentals that IE 9 will too.
Cons
Didn't stand out.
Summary
Seems to be diffucult to find a streamlined PW/LOGIN manager that will do what you want: one click interface with all of your sites. Just couldn't get this from Sticky Password or others.

"simple yet great for all I need"
Version: Sticky Password Free 5.0.3.217
Pros
Just tried quickly today, had no trouble using it, pretty straight forward. Like it is all automated. Now playing with the USB version. If I have not trouble here, then it's all I need. Nice it has Opera too, surprised me.
Cons
The limit of 15 might seem too little, but only time will tell. I am OK with it and if I need more, the higher version is not too much more, so I will see.
Summary
All said above, did not find problem with it. Works well, filled my online for, asked to remember login when I needed and then logged me automatically.
