Passwords Plus® for Mac OS® X Now Available

Mac App Store version complements new releases of the password security app for iPad, iPhone, and Windows computers. Introductory purchase offer of $9.99 available until September 30, 2012.

MILFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DataViz, Inc., a leading provider of mobile document and productivity software, today announced the availability of Passwords Plus^® for Mac OS^® X, plus updated versions for iOS and Windows.

“Everyone needs to be diligent about using strong, unique passwords and they need to be changed frequently. The easiest way to store and remember your passwords is to use a password management solution that is intuitive, secure, and accessible everywhere. Passwords Plus fits all of these requirements, at minimal cost.”

Passwords Plus stores and protects PINs, passwords, and other sensitive information while providing automatic synchronization of this data between iPad, iPhone, Windows and Mac desktop/laptop computers.

Why Passwords Plus?

Passwords Plus keeps information “in sync” across all devices via secure cloud storage and SamePage™ technology. For example, changes made on an iPhone will automatically appear on the iPad and desktop/laptop computer(s).

Setup is quick and easy with no need to open a 3rd party cloud account or pay an additional subscription fee to sync, backup or restore data.

Features like ‘Generate Password’ help customers avoid the risk that comes with using “obvious” or “duplicate” passwords for sensitive account information.

“Recent online security breaches highlight the risk of using the same password for multiple websites or simple passwords such as ‘12345’,” says Bonnie Boyle, Chief Product Officer, DataViz, Inc. “Everyone needs to be diligent about using strong, unique passwords and they need to be changed frequently. The easiest way to store and remember your passwords is to use a password management solution that is intuitive, secure, and accessible everywhere. Passwords Plus fits all of these requirements, at minimal cost.”

Security – 256-bit AES encryption keeps data safe and secure.
