Not everyone has such excellent memory to remember all the passwords and codes (from safe combinations to e-mail accounts). Unfortunately, most people have the bad habit of writing them on sheets of paper, or in agendas, or to stick them to monitors and keyboards.

Those who work in a work environment where security is vital know the importance of generating and safekeeping the passwords and codes, and today's gadget is exactly what they need.

Mandylion Password Manager is a safe and efficient device whose only purpose is to look after your security. The result of three years of real warfare environments and with the appearance of a keyring, it is able to
create different codes and passwords and to manage up to 50 such sequences.

Passwords can be any length up to 14 characters or namespaces. It can create passwords based on your settings for various criteria and prompt you to change your passwords at preset time intervals.

Available at ThinkGeek for $269, the Mandylion Password Manager includes 5 such tokens, a configuring cradle and the Policy Master Configuration software. Using the tokens is extremely easy, the device being activated with the help of a predefined sequence of buttons. The makers of this device went so far as to include a LCD with a low visibility angle to prevent curious people from taking a peek at your codes.

In order to configure the logins, one has to put the token in the cradle, hook it up to the computer and run Mandylion Password Manager to choose the length, expiration, and composition.

The device has numerous protective measures, including the self-destruct one, and the permanent memory eliminates the problem of running out of batteries and losing the data.

Because of the 5 tokens included in the price, the Mandylion Password Manager is ideal for work environments with draconic security measures.
