IBM Applies for Password Manager Patent

An anonymous reader writes "As of August 21, IBM has applied for a patent on "A convenient and secure system and method for access to any number of password-protected computer applications, web sites and forms without adding to the user cognitive load and without circumventing the inherent security of such password-protection schemes. An existing password field on a device display is overlaid with password wallet pop-up field which allows a wallet "master" key to unlock the wallet. An application-specific and/or user-specific password is automatically retrieved from the wallet and entered into the password field with no other user action required." This isn't much different from Mozilla's "Master Password"."

    to identify the likely survivors of the georgewellian fuddite corepirate nazi life0cide against humankind.

    a lot of the creators' innocents are being harmed without benefit of the population being informed/allowed to make informed choices. even morons should realize that can never wwwork.

    the daze of the greed/fear/ego based felonious payper liesense ?pr? ?firm? hypenosys stock markup fraud execrable, is WANing into coolapps/the abyss, at the (increasing) speed of right.

    talk about pressure? those fauxking foulcurrs on wall street of deceit/capitollist hill, are having a whoreabull time attempting to hide the news (buy use of phonIE scriptdead ?pr? ?firm? hypenosys) of their felonious payper liesense billyonerrors' latest softwar gangster hostage taking attempts, &/or the adolescent dictator megalomania of the georgewellian fuddites/walking dead perpetraitors of the greed/fear/ego based life0cide against humankind.

    there's a real risk of overheating (peacing off) the main processor. you don't want that?

    for each of the creators' innocents harmed, there is a badtoll that must/will be repaid by you/US, as the aforementioned walking dead will not be available to make reparations, as the big flash is already occurring.

    the lights are coming up now. consultations are in order. you know where to look/who to trust? see you there? tell 'em robbIE?

    devise, makes the case for corepirate nazi stock markup FraUD ?pr? ?firm? /.puppet shakeDOWn.

    whois responsible to publish stuff that really matters?

    if the most felonious of the georgewellian fuddite execrable continues to ignore the creators' planet/population rescue, & newclear power mandates, big blue might have some trouble finding warm bodIEs to participate in their latest payper liesense recipe for hostage taking.

    never a better time to investigate the newclear power, & planet/population rescue initiatives.

    this stuff is unbreakable, wwworks on several (more than 3) dimensions, & there's never a liesense feechurn/cover charge to restrict yOUR progress.
