Features

Secure storage of passwords:

• Secure passwords stored in the CM-Stick - always present
  Nearly most vendors offer you the possiblity to have access to your inquiries, the delivery status or your invoices. And it is recommended to have a new password for each vendor and to remember it, of course. Most accounts are not used daily, and that makes it difficult to remember every password. Here you get help from the CM Password Manager.
  Passwords are stored comfortable via CM Password Manager in the CodeMeter chip of your CM-Stick. This function can be used for CM-Sticks without flash drive as well.
• Automatic form completion via the Internet Explorer protects agains phishing
  The CM Password Manager automatically recognizes which web site you are visiting. Knowing the site and finding the required fields for username and password, the activated CM-Stick transfers the user access data automatically to the site via the CM Password Manager. The comparison of the URL protects you against phishing attacks. The automatic form completion helps you to use secure passwords that are complicated to remember without the CM Password Manager.
• Encrypted passwords are securely stored in the hardware
  Of course these data aren't stored in plaintext. For the administration of our secret data, they will be encrypted using strong AES encryption and then stored.
• Automatic password generation
  The CM Password Manager 2.0 now include a password generation module. It automatically generates a password with high quality. You can choose the length of the password and the included characters.
• Quality check of passwords
  The CM Password Manager 2.0 also verifies the quality of the generated passwords as well as the quality of all manually given passwords. This will be shown in a graphic.
• Backup for emergency
  There is a solution for emergencies as well. If you really lose your CM-Stick, you can import an encrypted backup of your password data in your new CM-Stick. Of course it is only possible with your own backup data and your CodeMeter password.
• Cross platform ability
  In addition to the Windows version of the CM Password Manager, a version for Mac OS and Linux is available. Both versions will support automatic form completion in the middle of the year.

Encryption of data on your harddisk (Windows):

• Another fixed part of the CM-Stick is the Steganos Safe 7 Lite.
• The Steganos Safe 7 Lite is an extraction of the popular Steganos Security Suite 7. It contains a virtual drive that allows you to encrypt your data up to 128 MByte in a secure way.
• Sensitive data will be stored without loss of time. The Automatic Crash Protection (ACP) makes sure that even a system crash or a blackout keep the data encypted all the times.
• Unsecure passwords will be prevented automatically. The password for Steganos Safe 7 Lite will be generated automatically in a high quality and stored encrypted in the CodeMeter chip of the CM-Stick.
• If 128 MByte is insufficient for you an upgrade of Steganso Safe 7 CodeMeter Edition is available. This version allows you to handle a virtual drive with up to 64 GByte.

Access control to your PC(Win 2000 / Win XP):

• SecuriKey is another fixed part of the CM-Stick. It is an add on for Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
• SecuriKey offers you a 2 factor authentication for your Windows login.
• In addition to your Windows passwort (knowledge) you need a CM-Stick with a well-defined entry (ownership).
• An essential advantage of SecuriKey is that no complex Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) has to be built up unlike to SmartCard solutions.
• The lite version is limited of one Windows account and one CM-Stick.

Storage of software licences:

• An important advantage of the licensing with CodeMeter is the mobility of your licenses. You want to use the license at work in the daytime and at your PC at home in the evenings? No problem - just take your CM-Stick and plug it in the respective computer.
• Or you have bought a new PC? As well you can take the licenses by simply plugging in the CM-Stick.

Flash Disk (Win 2000 / Win XP):

• The CM-Stick versions that are marked with /M have an additional flash drive with 128 MByte memory and more.
• You can store any data on the flash drive and so you can carry them comfortably with a bunch of keys. It is even possible to store the software that needs the CM-Stick on this hardware. For example you can have the LockZone communicator with your mail clients including encyption functions permanently with you.
• The CM ConfigDisk allows you to partition the flash drive of your CM-Stick. Choosing one configuration from two partitions, so the second partition is combined with the activation and deactivation of the CM-Stick. If you have deactivated the CM-Stick, your data stored on the second partition will be protected with your CodeMeter password.
