Customised Email Templates
All emails generated from within Passwordstate can be customised to your liking, and can be enabled/disabled as required.

2nd Level Password Protection
To further secure the Administration area of Passwordstate, additional 2nd level password protection can be enabled.

Passwordstate supports multiple Active Directory domains and forests, allowing importing of users, and cross domain authentication. User accounts can also be imported/exported from CSV files.
User Acceptance Policy
Security Administrators can elect to prompt Passwordstate users with a customised User Acceptance Policy, outlining to usage principles for Passwordstate. This policy can be a mandatory, requires acceptance from the user, or you can elect not to have a policy at all.
Data Protection & Security
Passwordstate 4.3 ensures the integrity of your sensitive data, by securing the back-end from system administrators, and the front-end from unauthorised access.
Encryption and Obfuscation
To protect the privacy of sensitive data, all passwords are stored within the database using 256 Bit AES Encryption, and sensitive code is protected by the use of precompiled ASP.NET pages and obfuscated .NET Assemblies. No longer can web or database administrators gain access to data they are not authorised to view.
Unique Initialisation Vector
Every instance of Passwordstate generates its own unique Initialisation Vector for encrypting data.
Automatic Logout Period
An Automatic Logout Period can be specified for inactive sessions i.e. if a user leaves Passwordstate open on the screen, it will be automatically logged out once the logout period is reached.
Integrated Windows Authentication
Integrated Windows Authentication provides a greater level of secure access to Passwordstate
Optional Two-Factor Authentication for Administration Area
Security Administrators can enforce a secondary login into the Administration area, protecting against System Administrators logging onto the Active Directory domain using the Security Administrators domain account, and gaining access to the Administration area of Passwordstate.
Enterprise Scalability
With multiple Active Directory Domain support, and built on Microsoft's web and database platforms, you can scale your solution from a single user to the enterprise.
