The True Key app works in the background and stores all the password that you use on sites and you will not need to remember any of them. They seamlessly integrate and sync with most of the popular browsers. The program can store up to 15 passwords for free, the True Key also has a premium version that can store unlimited number of passwords.
This program comes as a package along with Adobe software if you choose the ‘opt-out option’ and comes pre-installed on Windows machines as per Intel-Adobe agreement. It can also be downloaded from the Intel Website or other application stores.
