There are several forms of software used to help users or organizations better manage passwords: * Intended for use by a single user: * * Password manager software is used by individuals to organize and encrypt many personal passwords using a single login. This often involves the use of an encryption key as well. Password managers are also referred to as password wallets. * Intended for use by a multiple users/groups of users: * * Password synchronization software is used by organizations to arrange for different passwords, on different systems, to have the same value when they belong to the same person. * * Self-service password reset software enables users who forgot their password or triggered an intruder lockout to authenticate using another mechanism and resolve their own problem, without calling an IT help desk. * * Enterprise Single signon software monitors applications launched by a user and automatically populates login IDs and passwords. * * Web single signon software intercepts user access to web applications and either inserts authentication information into the HTTP(S) stream or redirects the user to a separate page, where the user is authenticated and directed back to the original URL. * * Privileged password management (used to secure access to shared, privileged accounts). ==Privileged password management== Privileged password management is a type of password management used to secure the passwords for login IDs that have elevated security privileges. This is most often done by periodically changing every such password to a new, random value. Since users and automated software processes need these passwords to function, privileged password management systems must also store these passwords and provide various mechanisms to disclose these passwords in a secure and appropriate manner. Privileged password management is related to Privileged Identity Management. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「There are several forms of software used to help users or organizations better manage passwords:* Intended for use by a single user:** Password manager software is used by individuals to organize and encrypt many personal passwords using a single login.
