Password Manager Pro 6.5 Released

We are glad to announce the release of Password Manager Pro 6.5 (build 6502). We take this opportunity to thank all our customers and users for their feedback and the continued support.

This release offers many exciting features, including HTML5-powered, first-in-class remote login mechanisms, secure, offline access to passwords with auto sync to mobile devices and a host of other enhancements. Issue faced in launching PMP web-interface in Firefox 11 has also been fixed.

List of New Features / Enhancements include:

No-Frills Auto Logon for Launching Windows RDP and SSH Remote Terminal Sessions

Leveraging the power of HTML 5, PMP 6.5 brings the first-in-class auto logon mechanisms for launching Windows RDP, SSH and Telnet sessions. While current solutions require inconvenient and insecure methods like end-point agents, helper programs at user desktop and browser plug-ins, the only requirement for PMP's cutting-edge solution is a HTML 5 compatible web browser. Users can launch highly secure and completely emulated Windows RDP, SSH and Telnet sessions from within the browser with a single click, not requiring any access to passwords
Being HTML 5 compatible, users can launch Windows RDP and SSH sessions also from browsers in their tablet devices like iPad
Provision for authenticating both with the local accounts as well as domain accounts for the launched Windows RDP sessions
A new sub-tab named 'Auto Logon' has been introduced in Home Tab for easily locating the remote accounts and quickly launch one-click sessions

Secure, Offline Access to Passwords with Auto Sync

Support for secure, offline access to passwords. Users will get an option to export the passwords in the form of an encrypted (AES-256 encryption) HTML file, which can be opened in browsers for offline access
Provision to automatically synchronize the exported HTML file to users' mobile devices through Dropbox. From a single action in PMP user interface, the offline file lands in the users' Dropbox app in their smart phones or tablet devices
Admins can configure PMP to automatically delete the exported files to users' Dropbox accounts after a set time period
Admins can configure all passwords that were exported to be automatically reset in the remote systems after a set time period

New Resource Types for Remote Password Synchronization

Support for remote password reset and verification of VMWare ESXi and HP iLO resources

Custom Fields

Provision for creating additional fields to store file type input. Upto 4 files of any type can be attached to every resource and every account within a resource

Bug Fixes & Changes

The option to restrict the users from exporting passwords in plain-text has been moved from 'General Settings' to "Admin >> Customize >> Export Passwords - Offline Access" GUI. The option is also available in 'User' and 'User Group' tabs
Earlier, there were issues in displaying custom fields when creating/editing resources. This has been fixed.
In the GUI to create copies of resources/accounts and in the GUI to move accounts from one resource to another, the names of resources and accounts will henceforth be shown in alphabetical order
Earlier, in some specific scenarios (where authentication was required) there were issues in sending emails from PMP. This has been fixed.
Earlier, in the case of auto logon helper (browser plug-in deployment model) there was an issue in launching direct connection to target systems. This has been fixed.
Earlier, there were issues in launching PMP web-interface in Firefox 11. This has been fixed.
