Hi Folks,

I ran into an excellent tool this week and wanted to share this with you.

The best part it’s free!

This is a neat program for setting up a “Password - Members Only” membership site. The program, as I mentioned, is completely free but it does have limitations - 1000 members and it includes a small ad at the top of each page you protect (free edition) but you can ‘register’ your copy and the ad is removed for $45.

Really the best thing about this program is you don’t need to know anything about cgi scripts or php or ‘authentication’… this is a Windows program that sits on your desktop!

Once you have the program you can:

Password protect your web pages with strong encryption algorithms, you can manage more than 1000 users/passwords or just a single password.

User/Password Management functions include:

* Manage more than 1000 users.
* Enhanced user information management, such as email, full name and additional notes.
* Generate random password and random user/password series.

If you are just starting a membership site or want to ‘test’ one without paying for expensive software you may want to give this a try.

As a bonus the program allows you to publish your protected web pages on CD, DVD or any other media!

Enjoy!
