Trend Micro debuts new subscription based password manager
A new password manager from Trend Micro called DirectPass promises a whole lot of bells and whistles including a built in secure browser in addition to standard password management features like one-click master login and secure encrypted notes.
The secure browser is apparently designed for performing financial transaction safely as it automatically turns off things like the party plug-ins and DLLs.
The only 'problem' though, is that unlike competitors like 1Password et el, DirectPass is sold on a subscription model - $14.95 for a one-year subscription and $24.95 for two. A pretty steep price to pay considering competing products are either almost free, or charge a one-time fee only. All the same, Trend seems to think that there is a market for this - guess we'll see.
