| Passwords unique string
of characters (can be numbers, letters or special
characters) that a user types as an identification
code to restrict access to computers and sensitive
files. The computer compares the code against a
stored list of authorized passwords and users. If
the code is correct, the system allows access at
the security level approved for the owner of the
password.
Password management utilites are programs that
store passwords safely on your harddrive by encrypting
them.
