All roads lead to Rome, and all passwords lead to Mitto

This morning a good friend sent me a message on his way to work, while he was listening to American sports radio talk show host, Jim Rome, on AM 570 here in Los Angeles.  Jim was discussing the challenges of remembering his computer passwords, especially after having been on vacation and not having used at least one of his computers for a few weeks. This is a problem that annoys many of us daily, and one that can be solved by Mitto.Storing Computer Login Information

For many of our users, the most popular thing to do is to store passwords to websites, especially ones that can support one-click automatic logins. However, our service also lets you store passwords to computers, Wifi networks, and other items such as PINS, voicemail codes, alarm codes, etc. If you have access to multiple computers (desktop, laptop, work computer, etc.), as many of us do, you often have separate logins for each - which is a good idea.  Remembering them can be difficult, but not if you use Mitto. Mitto can’t automatically log you in to your computer, but offers a great place to securely manage your information.

Being able to securely access your passwords from any computer greatly improves your online experience. In a few cases, a drawback of having the computer password you need stored online is that you may need a password to get online to access the password (and if you can’t log in to your computer, you can’t get online). However, in many cases, people have access to alternate methods of getting online to get that information.

It’s for this reason that Mitto has already begun to work on releasing mobile apps (iPhone, Blackberry, Android) that will allow you to manage your passwords from your mobile phone. Keep an eye out for announcements in the near future regarding this exciting development.

I’ll be sending Jim Rome an email to check out our free service. I’m sure that he not only has computers that he needs to remember passwords for, but also many websites.

Hopefully, Jim will discover, like many of us, that Mitto is great way to keep his digital stuff secure, and remove the frustration of not being able to remember his passwords.
