Discover Passwords

Passwords are not typically recognized as part of an individual’s identity. However, the increasing number of capabilities offered through online institutions allows users with passwords to transfer money from bank accounts, purchase goods, and many other highly private activities. As a result, passwords are highly sensitive pieces of information and are considered one of the easiest forms of identity theft. Organizations looking to secure sensitive data and stop data loss should absolutely include passwords within their scope.

Passwords are often stored in files such as text documents and Microsoft Office documents as well as in system areas like the Windows Registry. Sometimes users intentionally store this information to help them remember their logins. Other times, applications store this information unbeknownst to the user. Regardless of reason, hackers seek this information to help them get access to secure locations.

To keep this sensitive information secure, Identity Finder provides a number of features. Built within the application is an Identity Finder Password Vault. Login and password information stored within this vault is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption.

In addition, Identity Finder automatically finds password using its AnyFind technology. Once found, user can clean this sensitive information to prevent a data breach from ever occurring. Identity Finder first starts with deep, deep data analysis. When Identity Finder comes across data that could potentially be a match, it applies proprietary validation techniques developed by our data experts to determine whether the data is likely to be a Password. Beyond data analysis, Identity Finder also performs contextual analysis to increase the accuracy of returning relevant information. Doing this helps Identity Finder ignore random strings and increase the accuracy of finding Passwords.
