CNET Editors' review
Sticky Password creates a password storehouse for passwords throughout your system, although the program is somewhat more limited than that sounds. In addition to the generally strong password management feature, the keystone of the program, it offers a good selection of useful secondary features to bolster its value.
Sticky Password will import passwords from your browser, and ask you to create a master password for accessing them. That same master password can be used to restrict access to your computer, requiring the master pass before resuming from sleep or hibernation. It supports multiple accounts, fast access via the system tray to your password data, and lets you leave passwords unchanged as you edit the URL they work with, and to leave comments on them as well. It allows for USB, Bluetooth, and password-based authentication, and comes with a customized portable version creator, so you can carry Sticky Password on a USB key. The password generator automatically copies the new password to your clipboard, then auto-deletes it after a few minutes. These all ran without flaw.
To work with Internet Explorer, users must manually disable IE's autocomplete feature. We found many programs that it didn't work with, including multiprotocol instant messaging clients like Pidgin, Adobe AIR-based apps like TweetDeck, Foxit Reader for PDFs, or the e-mail clients Outlook and Thunderbird. Even more frustratingly, Sticky Password seemed to cause stability problems on our Windows XP test computer. Crashes and Web site compatibility issues spiked in the days following installation. Sticky Password is recommended, but definitely try it out for a week or two before you purchase the license.

"Perfect and secure form-filling"
Version: Sticky Password 5.0.3.217
Pros
+ Discount on upgrades
+ Really endeavored support
+ Slim software
+ Up to 8192bit encryption
+ Warns when a website tries to trick youCons
- Can not fill out any website, manual settings are necessary
Summary
It is the greatest app for saving passwords.
As the database is only stored locally, you don't run the risk of someone hacking your cloud-stored data.
The bonus portable version should convince you to get it.
Using a strong password (15+), the 8192bit encryption may take more than 10 years to be decrypted by brute-force. -

"Great product, easy to use, I am really happy with it"
Version: Sticky Password 4.0.141
Pros
Very nice integration with different browsers, good support for form-filling. The portable version is also very nice
Cons
If only there is also a Mac version ;)
Summary
The whole concept is great - allows me to use complex passwords, different for each site. It does not depend on a single browser so I can use one database for both Firefox and IE (which regrettably, is still necessary for some sites). And not just storing passwords, of course.

"Commercial not free"
Version: Sticky Password 4.0.141
Pros
has a gate to protect all passwords
Cons
i hate this program since it is too complicated when setting up for the first time, too many processures to use it.
Summary
After software installed, a pop up page of this program came out and I visited his website, maybe some spyware or adware injected in their website, too many new pages jumped up made the impression awafully bad. I cannot hesitate to say: crap!

"easy peasy lemon squeezy"
Version: Sticky Password 4.0.141
Pros
It's easy to install and use. The passwords are stored on my computer in an encrypted file. The form filling is very good. I was using Sticky password 3 before and I'm glad they added form filling.
Cons
It's great with my websites and even a bunch of the apps I use on my Computer, but not all of them. I hope they add suppor t for even more apps too.
Summary
I upgraded to Sticky Password 4 this morning. I was using version 3 since the summer and that was pretty good. I really like this new one. It was easy to install and it even imported all of my passwords from the Sticky Password 3. Now everything is running smoothly and it has more functionality. I really like it!

"I won't even give it a try."
Version: Sticky Password 4.0.141
Pros
Something to download when you're bored ? I suppose it would cut out a couple of steps,but.....
Cons
.....most security experts recommend that you don't keep any passwords stored on your PC ,browser,or in any program such as this. They should always be typed in new every time you sign in to a web site,ect.
Summary
For hackers sake...disable "save passwords" in your browser(s) nor save them in any program like this;it just makes good security sense.
