SOUTHLAKE, TX, July 13, 2010 – Three months after Gartner selected ii2P as a “Cool Vendor in IT Operations Management, 2010” ii2P today announces the end of password frustration for PC users. The MyLOK™ password solution uses a microprocessor chip in a smart card, smart token and even a personal portable security device (PPSD) format to store one’s credentials (i.e., user IDs and passwords) and to retrieve the appropriate credentials at log-in so the user no longer has to remember their many IDs and passwords. MyLOK™ supports user credentials on all intranet and Internet applications for MS Windows® (XP, Vista, & 7) PCs. “We understand password frustration scenarios”, said Steve Carter, CEO and President of ii2P. “We are now in an era where passwords less than 12 characters can be hacked in minutes; and we know that most users are now required to use long, complex passwords which they simply cannot remember, so they feel compelled to write them down, effectively compromising their own security.” But with MyLOK™ the user needs to remember only his four-digit PIN, and he can forget everything else. And to further decrease an organization’s helpdesk calls, that PIN has a self-service reset! MyLOK™ will not only remember all your IDs and Passwords and will auto-populate requests for credentials, but it can create complex passwords of any length and complexity as selected by the user. Further, the MyLOK™ system is backed by a self-help support portal with an extensive “how to” content library. As stated by Bill Miller, ii2P’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, “we wanted to give our customers the convenience of automated passwords, the security of strong authentication, and the versatility to support any logical access request for user credentials – all in one easy-to-use system. And we think that MyLOK™ represents a password reset solution that users will want to use”.
The horsepower behind MyLOK™ is a MULTOS smart chip with extensive virtual memory and a high level operating system capable of managing multiple applications. Considered to be the most secure microprocessor chip made, the MULTOS smart chip has significant anti-tampering capabilities and includes a cryptographic co-processor. The result is an easy to use, highly secure, completely portable password management solution with single sign-on functionality at the disposal of an individual. Smart card-based solutions represent an ideal security platform for consolidating credentials and for supporting a growing array of security applications. And ii2P has created an entire family of password management solutions with strong authentication.
