PasswordVault for Windows

Introduction

There are two versions of PasswordVault that you can use with Windows computers.

• PasswordVault for Windows
  PasswordVault for Windows is installed onto a particular desktop computer and is run from that location. If you use one computer exclusively, this option is simplest for you.
  
• PasswordVault2Go
  PasswordVault2Go is installed onto removable media such as an iPod, Zip drive, or USB drive. If you use different computers frequently, you will appreciate the portability of this option.

Installing PasswordVault for Windows on your desktop machine

To install PasswordVault software on your desktop machine:

1. Download PasswordVault for Windows from the Software WebStore.

2. Double-click the file you downloaded to install PasswordVault.

Installing PasswordVault2Go on your portable media drive

1. Download PasswordVault2Go from the Software WebStore.

   Note that PasswordVault2Go is available only from the PasswordVault area of the WebStore. To download PasswordVault2Go, you'll need to put PasswordVault in your WebStore cart, then choose PasswordVault2Go from the download screen at checkout.

2. Attach a portable media drive to your computer. Portable media drives include Zip disks, iPods, and USB drives (also called USB memory sticks, JetFlash, USB flash drives, and flash memory).

3. Right-click the PasswordVault2Go folder and choose Extract. Select your portable media drive from the menu and WinZip will install the files.

4. Double-click the PasswordVault2Go.exe file to run PasswordVault2Go.

See the user manual (installed with the program) for tips on reducing the amount of space PasswordVault2Go takes on your portable media drive.

Note: PasswordVault2Go will create a data folder on your removable media device. If you move the PasswordVault2Go application, you must also move the data folder with it, or you will be forced to re-enter all your information.

After you install PasswordVault or PasswordVault2Go, you can either Set up PasswordVault or Synchronize PasswordVault if you plan to use it with PasswordVault2Go.
