Sxipper Firefox Extension: Forget your password!

Managing multiple passwords is complex. Internet users often have too many passwords to remember. Each password may expire on a different schedule and be subject to different policies about password composition. This complexity lads people to give up and select trivial passwords, or even worse, use one password for everything.

Sxipper is a free Firefox browser extension, developed by Sxip, that lets you log into any web site with a single click. It saves time by keeping track of all of your user names, passwords and personal data you share every day. Sxipper improves online security by creating strong passwords when registering and then storing them securely in an encrypted store on your computer.

Sxipper has a built-in support for Identity 2.0 authentication mechanism, an open, standards-based, identity model. Identity 2.0 describes the concept of an identity that can be trusted and used anywhere and requires no centralized consultation with the ID authority that issues the credential.

Sxipper also provides a trusted user experience across all web forms. Sxipper will let you know if you have a user name and password or not for a given website. If you get to a website that you log into regularly and Sxipper does not present you with your user name then you should examine if you are really at the website you think you are. In addition Sxipper itself protects itself from being imitated by phishers because your personalized choice of icon is something that phishers cannot know.
