In the wake of high-profile password security breaches, like the latest news from LinkedIn, we have released a Password Storage service designed to make managing unique and complex passwords secure and convenient. We are offering the Password Storage service as part of our premium online security and privacy service: Cocoon+  available for Firefox.

“Internet users are rightfully anxious about these high-profile password security breaches,” said Vernon Irvin, President/CEO of Virtual World Computing. “The vast majority of people use simple passwords or re-use the same password for multiple websites. When someone steals our online passwords it impacts every aspect of our lives. We responded by creating a solution for consumers that is easy to manage and protects all those passwords.”

Cocoon’s Password Storage features include:

- Freedom to create unique and complex passwords for each site

- Password-protected online storage area for passwords

- Convenient, yet secure, access to passwords for each site

Cocoon will continue to develop new features to Cocoon’s Password Storage Service. We will be releasing a version that automatically saves passwords entered on a given site later this summer.
