SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwired) — 12/03/13 — has released a new password manager that stores and encrypts data locally on the device. An available premium feature securely synchronizes passwords cross-platform across multiple devices via a European cloud. With , all servers used to synchronize passwords across devices are owned and operated by F-Secure within the European Union.
“Users do not need to pay anything for the app if they don-t want to,” said , director, Consumer Sales and Marketing at F-Secure. “F-Secure Key is completely free if users just want to use it on one device,” he continued. “And the data is stored and encrypted right there on their device.”
According to an F-Secure survey, 39 percent of consumers globally use just one or a few passwords for all services,* putting them at greater risk of being hacked. F-Secure Key is a secure, trustworthy solution to the password problem, so everyone can have a strong, unique password for each service, simply and easily.
“F-Secure Key addresses the lack of trust shown by consumers post-Snowden revelations,” said , vice president, Consumer Security at F-Secure. “Our European security cloud is a unique asset that allows us to synchronize consumers- sensitive information like passwords across all their devices.”
F-Secure Key safely stores passwords, user names and other credentials so they can be safely accessed wherever, with whatever device one is using: smartphone, tablet, PC or Mac. There-s just one master password to remember — the key to all the other passwords, which are encrypted and stored securely on the device.
Whenever the user creates a new account for an online service, F-Secure Key helps in generating a password that is both secure and unique. The app also features a real-time alert service to keep people informed about major hacking incidents targeting popular online services that might compromise their safety.
