Password Protection

Use PasswordVault or PasswordVault2Go

We realize that you might have a lot of passwords to remember while a student at Illinois, so CITES suggests using PasswordVault to make remembering them easier. PasswordVault is a program that securely stores all of your passwords on your computer. PasswordVault can store passwords related to your University computing accounts in addition to other passwords you choose to store, such as personal banking accounts. No matter how many passwords you store, you need to remember only your master password to access all of them.

PasswordVault also comes with a companion program, PasswordVault2Go, which securely stores all of your passwords on a portable media drive (such as a USB flash drive) that you can carry from computer to computer.

PasswordVault and PasswordVault2Go can be downloaded from the Software WebStore at no cost. You'll need your NetID and NetID password to order software from the Software WebStore.
