Web Confidential for Palm is supplied with a Macintosh Conduit, which synchronizes data between Macintosh and Palm. Although widely imitated, Web Confidential is still the most powerful password manager on the Mac today and is currently the only password manager which is able to HotSync with a Palm device using a Macintosh Conduit. Like the Macintosh version, your data on the Palm handheld can be protected by state-of-the-art encryption technology. Web Confidential is an intuitive, easy-to-use program for managing user IDs, passwords, registration numbers, and the like. While Web Confidential is suitable for a wide variety of personal data, from credit card numbers to serial numbers, Alco Blom designed Web Confidential particularly for the World Wide Web in mind. "Increasing numbers of Web sites maintain some form of user registration," points out Blom. "You may not realize it, but in the course of time you may registered at a couple of dozen sites. Do you remember the passwords you entered for all of them?" Web Confidential allows Web surfers to store URLs, user IDs, and passwords in one secure location. Web Confidential can automate the process of logging into a password-secured Web page by automatically passing URL, user ID, and password to your Web browser. For opening pages containing personal account information at commercial sites, Web Confidential allows you to automatically fill in WWW Forms with user ID and password fields. To ensure the personal information stored in Web Confidential remains confidential, the program's password files can be encrypted using state-of-the-art encryption technology. Blom and Laterveer have released Web Confidential as shareware. After a trial period of thirty days, users are encouraged to register the program for US$20.
