AMUST SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES AMUST 1-PASSWORD™
AMUST 1-Password, the next generation Internet password manager offers unparalleled security, convenience and ease-of-use.
Saint-Petersburg, Russia, March 20, 2006 - AMUST Software today announced AMUST 1-Password™ - the next generation Internet Password Manager. 1-Password offers unparalleled security, convenience and ease-of-use. It generates a unique secure password for every web site a user needs to login and provides a user with automatic "1-click" secure web login.
"Today’s web user has tens of web sites to login into, including bank and credit card accounts, shopping web sites, email service, community and many other online services. Because people cannot remember many passwords they use the same password for different web sites or write their passwords on a piece of paper. These practices lead to substantial security risks," - said Ratmir Timashev, president and CEO, AMUST Software. "1-Password helps a web user to dramatically reduce the security expose associated with Internet passwords. In addition, it helps to mitigate the risks from spyware, keyloggers as well as phishing attacks providing stronger security and ultimate convenience".
Unlike other password managers on the market 1-Password does not employ a password database and does not store user’s passwords, even in the encrypted form. Instead, 1-Password generates a unique password for each web site through one-way hash (HMAC-MD5 encryption) of user’s Master Password and the web site address. For example: "Master Password" + "www.citibank.com" = "unique secure password for user’s Citibank online account". 1-Password generates the password "on-the-fly" at the time of user’s login. This results to stronger overall security.
AMUST 1-Password offers the following key benefits:
- Strong Security - With AMUST 1-Password a user has a different password for every web site. A user needs to remember only one Master password. In addition, a user login password is not stored anywhere and generated only at the time of login. This results to fewer risks from spyware that might target the database of passwords residing on user’s PC and stronger overall security. Also, "1-click" automatic login offered by 1-Password dramatically reduces the risks from keyloggers as there is no need to type the login password, as well as the risks from phishing attacks as the web site address cannot be faked because the genuine URL is stored by 1-Password.
- Convenience - Another innovation introduced by 1-Password is the use of users’ personal email (such as Yahoo, Hotmail and Google mail) to store and automatically synchronize program data and configuration settings between user’s computers. As a result a user can securely login to web sites from home, office or any other computer where 1-Password is installed without the need for manual synchronization. 1-Password’s automatic synchronization offers ultimate convenience and portability for users who use more than one computer.
In addition, users can generate their passwords from any other computer using 1-Password online service: http://www.amustsoft.com/1-login/online/
- Ease of Use - The only thing a user needs to remember is Master Password. 1-Password’s "1-click" automatic login feature offers essential ease-of-use. When a user needs to login to a web site he/she points to the appropriate bookmark on the 1-Password toolbar and is automatically logged in.
Important: original user passwords are stored encrypted in user’s personal email or on user’s PC (optionally) until the user changes the original passwords to 1-Password generated, at which point no passwords are stored anywhere.
1-Password is a browser plug-in. It currently supports Microsoft Internet Explorer, and the support for Firefox is coming soon.
AMUST 1-Password is free and limited to 10 Web logins. AMUST 1-Password Pro is priced at $29.99 per user. 1-Password Pro can be pre-ordered at the introductory price of $19.99 until May 20, 2006.
AMUST 1-Password is schedule to be released in Q2, 2006. AMUST 1-Password Beta is currently available as free download at: www.amustsoft.com/1-login/download/
