Original Press Release:
Siber Systems Announces New USB Key Paradigm: Pass2Go
First Automated Password Entry Application for USB Drives
Pioneering Software Changes USB Drive's "Dumb Storage" Perception, Enables User To Securely Manage and Carry Passwords and Digital Identities Anywhere with One-Click Login
FAIRFAX, VA - March 3, 2005 - Siber Systems, Inc., a leading productivity software provider, announced today it has shifted the power of computer password and digital identity storage/management to a truly portable, increasingly popular, and previously unexpected platform-the USB drive.
USB drives-despite their reputation as a "dumb storage" device-are ripe for transformation into a platform for essential user applications and services. Between 67 and 120 million of the devices are expected to be shipped worldwide in 2005, making them ideal for any kind of portable data need.
Though its new and incredibly small (3MB) software application, Pass2Go, Siber Systems has exploited this opportunity, giving road warriors-or for that matter, anyone who wishes to keep their passwords, identities, and banking and credit card information off computer hard drives-a new alternative that is not only as manageable as a car key, but also features one-click login to web sites and easy access to contacts, bookmarks and encrypted text notes.
Simply load Pass2Go onto an existing USB drive, plug it into any USB port, and you can automatically log into online accounts, fill in online forms as needed or access your address book. Your personal information never even appears on a client PC, it is strictly on USB drive. Once the drive is removed, all traces of RoboForm are removed from the PC.
"An increasing number of people are carrying USB drives on personal key rings for data storage purposes", said Andrew Finkle, Vice President of Marketing for Siber Systems. "Now using only a fraction of the storage space on that drive, users can carry all their most confidential information securely and have a fully-featured application that automates entering of this data for online forms and provides easy editing and viewing capabilities for this information."
Pass2Go can confidently be used at Internet cafes, libraries, convention halls, airports, universities, or even at work-anywhere people on-the-go have a computer with USB port. As a next-generation product, Pass2Go changes the way people store, protect, and access private digital information.
Fully-Featured Product
Pass2Go is based on RoboForm, Siber System's award-winning password management and form-filling tool that automates the process of logging onto online accounts and filling online registration and checkout forms.
When an online form is encountered, Pass2Go user just has to click his or her name on the browser toolbar to fill forms with his or her personal data, or if login site is encountered user has to click the "passcard" that contains saved login data. In any case, the entire form is filled with one click. In addition to that, RoboForm can automatically perform the entire sequence of actions required to login to an online account: navigate to login form, fill form, click Submit button. All stored information is protected using 3-DES, a powerful encryption standard. Pass2Go requires a master password to open the sensitive information.
To keep information organized, Pass2Go includes folders that allow passwords and identities (e.g., address/phone and other personal information) to be stored according to whatever filing system the user prefers.
Pricing and Availability
Siber Systems' Pass2Go password/identity manager application is priced at $39.98 and is currently available for downloading from the RoboForm website. The product is also available as an OEM product for USB drive manufacturers.
