The IronKey Identity Manager, if enabled,
securely stores and uses many of your most
important identity credentials, including
login information and one-time passwords
to applications and online accounts. With a
click of a button, it automatically launches a
specified application, fills in your username
and password, and then logs you in. It can
even generate strong passwords for you,
so that you can really lock down your
important accounts.
The IronKey Identity Manager also allows you to back up your encrypted Identity Manager data
to your Online Security Vault, to synchronize password data between IronKeys, and to securely
restore all your passwords to a new IronKey if your IronKey is ever lost or stolen. Only you can
access and decrypt your passwords.
The IronKey Identity Manager does not store your passwords in a file on the file system of
the flash drive, so malware cannot simply copy your password database. Also, not typing your
passwords provides added protection from keyloggers and other crimeware.
The Identity Manager works with VeriSign’s VIP service to lock
down many important online accounts, including eBay, PayPal,
AOL, and Geico accounts. This new technology generates a
one-time password for each login, locking down your online
account so that it can only be used from your IronKey.
See the Help file for detailed information about the benefits of using Identity Manager. To view
it, click the Help icon in the top right of the main Identity Manager window.

1 Adding accounts and passwords
You can add accounts to Identity Manager in several
ways:
•
Restore them from your Online Security Vault.
•
Import them from Firefox, KeePass, RoboForms or
Internet Explorer.
•
Add them manually using the “Add” button in the
main Identity Manager window.
•
When on a particular website, select “Add Account”
from the Titlebar Menu.

Use the Identity Manager’s built-in self-learning
approach to capture your logins by simply logging
into a site as usual. The Identity Manager prompts
you to store this password securely on your IronKey.
