Re: third-party password managers in the enterprise

["Saqib Ali" <docbook.xml () gmail com>]

A lot of computer manufacturers are including password managers with
their laptops/desktops. For e.g. HP ships Credential Manager which is
password manager as well as a Single Sign On utility. Similarly Dell
includes Wavesys Basic Security Center, and IBM/Lenovo has Utimaco.

Check with your computer manufacturer if they already have credential
manager utility.

If not, Password Safe is recommended by Bruce Schneier. :)
