PWMinder is a cross-platform Password Management System, that allows users to securely store and manage all of their personal password information.  Currently PWMinder can run on Windows, Linux and Mac (intel), and the password repository files generated are portable from one platform to another.  For example, a password repository file could be created on a Windows computer; the file could then be moved to Mac, opened, edited, and then moved to a different Windows computer to be accessed.

This is great if all you use are desktop computers, but what about password management on your mobile devices, such as a Blackberry or iPhone? Good new! Development is currently underway to create PWMinder for the Blackberry, with plans to follow up with a version for iPhone/iPod.  If there is demand, versions may also be created for Android phones and/or Palm devices.

Once complete, a users could create a password repository at work on a Windows desktop, copy the file to their Blackberry to access passwords on their way home.  They could then copy the file to their Mac at home, add a few more passwords, then copy the file to their iPhone for use on the weekend.  With PWMinder you will be able to have access to all of your passwords, no matter what platform, OS, or handheld device you are on!

Planned features for PWMinder on the Blackberry:

• Password records can be organized into Categories
• Ability to search for password records
• Easy copying of logins and passwords
• Open web links directly from within PWMinder
• Reminders for password expiry can be added to you calendar or todo list
• Includes a Password Generator tool to create secure passwords

If you have any other ideas for what you would like a Password Manager to do for you, on the mobile device, either add comment to this blog, enter a suggestion on the Ewert Technologies support page.

PWMinder on the Blackberry should be available at the end of March, 2010 with development of PWMinder for the iPhone to follow.  Stay tuned for updates.
