S10 Password Vault lets you auto-login to any website or program with account info stored securely on your PC. You can set up accounts to login upon launch, or use the following commands from within any field in any website or program to auto-type the appropriate info: Ctrl Alt L  -  autoLogin (autotypes Username TAB Password ENTER) Ctrl Alt U  -  autotype Username Ctrl Alt P  -  autotype Password Ctrl Alt I  -  autotype or drag-and-drop any account Info Free for personal use.  Donations appreciated.  Low-cost business licenses.	USB-drive version Mobile version   New features

Downloads - The program is available for Windows as a standard installer and as a portable version that allows you to run directly from a USB drive (which then also contains your data file). There is also an "S10 Vault" mobile companion app for iPhone/iPad (in the App Store) and for Android devices (in the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store).

Easy to use - Small and simple windows, unlike other programs that often use large cluttered windows. No ugly browser toolbars either. Works with any program, not just browsers. You no longer have to remember all your usernames/passwords, and you don't have to switch back-and-forth between windows to copy/paste them either, thanks to the convenient autotype feature.

Master password - The first step is to create a master password which you will use to access your password vault. For good security, the master password should be long and use a mix of lower and upper case letters, numbers, and special characters. You can use a phrase or sentence instead of just one word; the longer it is, the more secure it is. But beware that there is no way to recover or reset a forgotten password; your information is effectively lost if you cannot remember your master password - there is no back door.

Single data file - Your data is stored in a single vault file locally on your PC (by default "Password Vault.s10p" in your Documents folder). Be sure your backup software includes this file, or manually back up the file in a safe place on a regular basis. If your hard drive crashes, just restore this file and reinstall the program (and, if you made a donation, also restore the s10_Donation.txt file). To create/open a different vault file, click the options button next to "Master Password" and click "Select Vault File".

Military grade encryption - Your vault file is securely encrypted using the very strong standard 256-bit AES algorithm which is roughly a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion times stronger than what has ever been cracked. For maximum security, the Change Password screen lets you supplement your password with a generated key file on a USB drive; this eliminates any danger posed by password-cracking utilities. For further technical information, see the full encryption details.

Folder/account hierarchy - The second step is to add your accounts (username/password pairs and related information) which you can organize any way you like; use the default folder structure or add/rename/delete folders to create your own structure. Use drag-and-drop to easily rearrange folders and accounts. For quick access when you have a large number of accounts, it supports jump-to-next-match keystroke searching. For free-text search, go to the View All window.
Launch websites and programs - For each account, you can specify a corresponding website address or program file, which you can then easily launch later. You can even specify multiple websites or programs; this is useful if the username/password is used as a login for more than one place. Use of variables in the launch command is also supported (%Username%, %Password%, and custom fields, e.g., %PIN%). Additionally, S10 Password Vault can optionally log you in automatically to the website/program upon launch - see "Login Sequence" below.

Copying usernames/passwords - The context menu lets you easily copy the username or password for an account onto the clipboard. However, in most cases, using one of the autotype commands is actually much quicker than copying and pasting. For security reasons, the clipboard is automatically cleared after 1 minute.

Password generation - Since you no longer have to remember all your individual passwords, it is a good idea to start using more complex passwords for better security. S10 Password Vault can generate strong, random passwords that you can use for your accounts.

Linked passwords - If you want to set up an accounts that should always use the same password as another account, you can link the password to the other account. This way you can maintain the password in one place (the "master" acocunt).

Title/account matching - Each account can be associated with one or more window titles (full or partial). When you use an autotype command, S10 Password Vault checks the window title of the current website/program and tries to find a matching account. If there are multiple matching accounts, it also checks the server name in the URL in order to find the strongest match.

Custom fields - In the Notes section at the bottom of the Edit Account window you can define custom fields (Name:Value), for example to track things like account numbers, expiration dates, PINs, addresses, etc. Just like username and password, this information is then easily accessible via autotype, drag-and-drop, and copying.
Account Icons - At the bottom of the window you can choose an icon for your account. Icons are automatically extracted from entered program files and website addresses. For websites, it will first try to get the icon from the Internet Explorer local cache, and also gives you an option to request to retrieve it online.

Quick Launch Keys - For frequently used accounts, you may want to assign a quick-launch key so that you can launch it with a single keystroke. Numbers 1-9 can be assigned.

Auto-type commands - As listed at the top of this page, there are dedicated autotype commands for the most common scenarios: AutoLogin, Username, and Password. For access to your custom information fields, use the more generic command Ctrl Alt I - see sample window on the right, which also offers access to Personal Information fields (set up via the Tools menu).
Drag-and-Drop - Both the generic autotype window (above right) and the View Account window are always-on-top windows and allow you to easily drag-and-drop multiple values onto fields in other windows.
Foil keyboard loggers - Whenever you manually type in a username or password anywhere, you are potentially subject to malicious keyboard logger programs. The autotype mechanism helps avoid this danger because it actually pastes the value into the field rather than simulating keystrokes. Even better, for Internet Explorer the values are programmatically inserted directly into the fields, avoiding the paste operation as well.
Advanced anti-keylogging - S10 Password Vault can also protect its own password fields from malicious keyloggers by sending lots of random hidden decoy keystrokes; keyloggers might see over 100 random characters, completely obscuring the actual password you typed. Enable this via the "Anti Keylogging" option next to the master password. With other password managers, keyloggers would capture your master password (and all account passwords you add) in clear text.

Account selection - When you use an autotype command, you may be asked to confirm which account to use. It defaults the appropriate account based on the title of the current website/program window. The prompt is skipped if there is exactly one matching account, or if there are multiple matches but only one strong-match account (title and server), or if you launched the website/program from S10 Password Vault and its window title matches the info for the account from which you launched.
System tray icon - S10 Password Vault shows up in the system tray as a padlock icon. When you close the main window, S10 Password Vault keeps running in the background. To open it again, just click the icon. You can lock the program and also launch websites/programs or view accounts directly from the icon's right-click menu. A yellow icon indicates unlocked state; red means it is locked. To exit the program, right-click the icon and select Exit.

Auto-lock timeout - For extra security, S10 Password Vault auto-locks by default after 5 minutes of being inactive in the background. The number of minutes is configurable via the Options window.

Quick unlock - S10 Password Vault lets you use a strong password yet still allows quick access. When you first open your password vault you are asked for your full password, but after you subsequently lock it you can unlock quickly with a partial password (configurable - by default the first four characters, as indicated in the password field). Quick Unlock is also available when you use an autotype command while the vault is locked; in this case you will be asked for both password and account (see figure on right). Note that only one partial password attempt is allowed - if you enter a wrong partial password, the full password is then required.

View All - S10 Password Vault includes a "View All" window that lets you see all information for all your accounts in spreadsheet format, sortable by column. Also includes a free-text search feature.

Printing - You can print out the vault contents if you wish to keep a hard-copy backup in a safe place.

Import/Export - Ability to import data from, or export to, a tab-delimited text file (one account per row: folder\subfolder\name, username, password, website/program, window title, notes) - to see an example of this format, just create a dummy account and export it, then examine the file. Also supports import from KeePass v2 xml-formatted export files.

Export to Favorites - Also included is the ability to export website URLs to the Favorites menu in Internet Explorer. If you use another browser, you can just use that browser's capability to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer.

Login Sequence - For each website/program, you can specify whether or not it should automatically log you in when launched (No/Fill/Auto/Custom). "Fill" remembers where you autotype username/password and will then fill these and log in automatically next time you launch the site (IE only). "Auto" will first wait for a window title match, then wait 1 sec, then do an autologin (Username TAB Password ENTER). "Custom" offers many login step types:
Standalone Launch Scripts - The "Save" button in the above Login Sequence window allows you to create a standalone script file that, when double-clicked, will launch the specified website/program and auto-login via the specified login sequence. The script contains all necessary info and is therefore independent of the vault file. Beware though that no password is required to launch a script file, so its information is not protected as securely as in the vault file (scripts use a static encryption key compiled into the S10 Password Vault program). Scripts have the extension ".s10s", and will automatically launch with the S10 Password Vault program (if you used the standard installer); alternatively you can create a shortcut to S10 Password Vault with the script file as input parameter. As a security feature, scripts can optionally be restricted to run only under a specific Windows user a account.

Synchronization - S10 Password Vault includes an optional web-based feature that lets you securely keep your data in sync between multiple computers and/or mobile devices.

• Click Tools->Synchronize; if you have made a donation and properly put the S10_Donation.txt file in your Documents folder, your User ID is automatically filled in. An encryption key is automatically generated too; you can click the Key icon to generate a different one if you wish. Click Ok.
• Click the "Synchronize Now" button and make sure it completes successfully.
• Install S10 Password Vault on the other PC (same version as on the first PC) and copy your S10_Donation.txt file to this PC. Don't start the program on this PC yet (click Tools->Exit if it is running).
• Copy your vault file to the other PC; it's in your Documents folder and it's named "Password Vault.s10p" (although Windows may suppress the ".s10p" extension).
• Now the two PC's are in sync. Whenever you add/change an account, click "Synchronize Now" (uploads it to your account), and then on the other PC click "Synchronize Now" and you should see the new/changed data.

Sharing Folders - If you use Synchronization, you can also take advantage of the folder sharing feature, which lets you securely share and synchronize data with other users. For example, maybe you share financial accounts with your spouse, or maybe you want to share some info with team members at work.
Auto-start - S10 Password Vault is configured to start automatically in the background when Windows starts up. You can modify this behavior under Tools/Options.

Automatic file backup - When you open a password vault file, it will automatically make a backup copy of itself and save it under the same filename appended with "_backup". So if you accidentally delete an account or forget a newly changed master password, you can revert back to a previous version of the vault file. Beware that you should still back it up periodically to another place to keep your data safe in case your harddisk ever fails.

Digitally signed - No embedded spyware/adware or other third-party software. Both the install package and the program executable are digitally signed by S10 Software for your security.

Compact program size - Every feature in S10 Password Vault is carefully designed to minimize the impact on the overall program size by using efficient coding techniques and leveraging .NET Framework components.

FAQ - "My master password doesn't work anymore. What should I do?"

1. We cannot reset it for you. Your data is encrypted with the master password you chose - the only way to decrypt it is with that specific password. This is explained in the "Master Password" section above.
2. Try clicking the options button next to Master Password and make sure "Anti Keylogging" is not enabled; you may have some software/hardware that interferes with this feature and may therefore cause the master password to be captured improperly.
3. If you're trying to use S10 Password Vault on a new PC, you need to copy over your data file "Password Vault.s10p" in your Documents folder to the new PC. Note that Windows may be hiding the ".s10p" extension in the file name.
4. If you moved your data file to some other location, tell the program where it is by clicking the options button next to Master Password and then clicking "Select Vault File".
5. If you changed your master password but then forgot what you changed it to, you can revert to the previous data file by first moving the data file to some other folder, and then renaming the file "Password Vault.s10p_backup" to "Password Vault.s10p". The backup file is a copy taken when you last successfully logged in.
