iolo Technologies, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix Technologies, Ltd. Founded in 1998 and based in Pasadena, CA, iolo creates software that repairs, speeds up, and protects computers and other devices. Its products are available in 33 countries in 10 languages and have been used by tens of millions of people.

iolo's secure password manager, ByePass, is a web browser extension compatible with many operating systems running the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. ByePass is also available for Android mobile devices; an iOS app is coming soon. ByePass helps keep users' passwords and credit card information safe, and is available both as a standalone product and as part of the iolo's Phoenix 360 suite of security, maintenance, and performance tools.

ByePass eliminates the need to remember dozens of different passwords. Instead, consumers only need to know their master ByePass account password. The application stores online passwords and credit card numbers with local encryption, and then auto-fills the appropriate fields at the consumer's direction. (Android app users simply use the convenient copy/paste function.)

When purchased as part of the Phoenix 360 suite, ByePass works together with iolo's anti-virus, system optimization, data deletion/recovery, and browser security applications to provide the tools consumers need to keep their devices secure and functional. 

Services and Features By Iolo

ByePass also assesses passwords for strength, suggests high-security passwords for new sites, and remotely logs you out of all websites on your devices, no matter where you are. Once it's been set up, the app takes over all password and credit card number storage, retrieval, display, and security and allows you--and only you--to access and use them. This makes logging into websites and paying online smooth, easy, and safe.

If you already have online accounts that require passwords, ByePass will automatically detect them and load them into the ByePass Interface for you. Going forward, ByePass will generate new and different passwords for new accounts. This helps ensure that if your account information is stolen from one site, the thieves won't be able to use it to log into other sites. ByePass can store an unlimited number of passwords and credit cards.

iolo also allows users to run a "dark web" scan for any passwords you may have had prior to ByePass that have been compromised ("leaked passwords"). This helps people change these passwords before hackers try and pair them from lists shared online with your identity.

ByePass by iolo

iolo's Byepass password management system allows Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, and Android users to log into an unlimited number of different websites and access their credit card information with a single log-in and password. Most security experts now recommend using randomly-generated unique passwords for each account--which is exactly what ByePass does. 

Overall, iolo's ByePass is an excellent choice for easy and secure password management, whether purchased individually or as part of the Phoenix 360 suite of security and performance apps.
