Siber Systems, Inc. Adds Three Security Tools to RoboForm Site

FAIRFAX, Va., Oct. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Siber Systems, Inc., maker of RoboForm, the world's most popular password manager, today announced that the company has added three new tools to the RoboForm website to give users an edge against hackers. With a toolset that generates passwords, assesses password strength and detects whether your personal information has been subjected to hacking, users can easily improve their cyber security practices. The new tools are available now at www.roboform.com.

"According to news reports, hundreds of millions of user accounts and passwords have been compromised by hackers over the past year," said Bill Carey, Siber Systems VP of Marketing. "Many people aren't sure if they're at risk and don't know what to do to strengthen their online security. October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, so it's the perfect time to take stock of online account security, and our new tools help users accomplish this quickly and easily."

The new "Password Generator" tool allows users to create custom passwords in seconds by identifying desired variables, including the number of characters, use of capital and lowercase letters and symbols, all of which strengthen passwords. The "Password Strength" evaluator allows users to type in their existing password and instantly assess the security level. The "Have I Been Hacked?" tool lets users enter their email address to receive notification if their email, username, or full name has been compromised.

"The use of strong unique passwords is one of the most important security measures individual users can take to ensure their information remains safe online, and awareness of how existing accounts have been affected by security breaches is the key to making sound decisions about ongoing security," Carey noted. "These new tools make it simple for users to step up their cyber security practices and know where they stand with regard to known security breaches."

Carey recommends the use of strong passwords containing upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols and urges people to use a different password for each site and to change it every 30 to 60 days to thwart hackers. Many people choose a password management system like RoboForm to help them generate and manage passwords; with RoboForm, strong passwords are automatically generated for each site. Users only have to remember one Master Password.
