What Is Clipperz

Clipperz can be used to store and freely organize any kind
of confidential textual information, such as passwords,
confidential notes, burglar alarm codes, credit and debit
card details, PINs, software keys, and so on.
Clipperz is free and completely anonymous.
Nothing to install. Nothing to backup.

Clipperz lets you submit confidential information into
your browser, but your data are locally encrypted by the
browser itself before being uploaded.

The key for the encryption process is a passphrase known
only to you. Clipperz simply hosts your sensitive data in
encrypted form and could never actually access the data in
its plain form.

To quickly grasp features and benefits of Clipperz, please
refer to these resources:

1. A video tutorial to learn how to access your web
services without typing username and password

2. An introduction to “Clipperz Compact”, the edition for
the Firefox sidebar

3. Discover the “offline copy”, a read-only version to be
used without Internet connection (and maybe moved on USB drive)

What are the system requirements?

To date, you only need any recent version of a Internet
Explorer, Opera or any Mozilla-based browser, such as
Firefox. Support for other browsers is coming soon as well.
It is recommended that you use a reasonably powerful
computer, and a fast Internet connection, because that will
make it more fun.

IE7 needs a custom procedure to install the bookmarklet
Instead of dragging it, you should right-click
on the link, and choose the “Add to favorites …” menu
item.
After selecting “Add to favorites …” (and having
dismissed a warning message), a dialog appears where you
have the option to choose where to add the bookmarklet:
Favorites, Links, etc…
Beware that IE7 comes with most panels hidden, so you may
need to make them visible using the contextual menu on the
browser toolbar, or clicking on the “star” button to make
the favorites panel visible.
Then when you open an account that you need to log into,
go to the account and enter your details then go to the
Favourites Menu and click on the Clipperz bookmarklet that
you have installed, then simple copy the code and enter it
into a new card in your Clipperz account.

There is an excellent Forum and Discussion group which
will assist with any problems that you may have.
I suggest that you go to http://www.clipperz.com/ and watch
the video. It is an amazing program where all of your
passwords are fully encrypted and saved, and you need never
remember another password.

This program is simplicity in itself, have a look and give
it a try.

As with all the safety and security items that I look
at it is free. So what have you got to lose?
