The G DATA Passwort Manager

With the password manager, you no longer have to manage your various passwords yourself in a list or remember them. The G DATA Passwort Manager enables you to work with cryptic and thus extremely secure passwords. With just one click, the application fills in passwords and contact details for you and you save valuable time. If you get to a fake website and try to enter your data there with the password manager, this will fail. This way you are protected from the theft of your data.
