  • Patent number: 9038149
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for providing a cloud based password manager that automatically logs in users from any computer. The cloud based password manager does not require that the user install a local plug-in or other tool to perform automatic login. In this sense, unlike current password managers, the password manager of the present invention is completely cloud based. By simply using any browser or a dedicated app on any computer, the user can request a website and receive a copy of the website with the user logged in even if the user has never used the computer.

    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to providing notifications when a user selects an advertisement. The advertisements can be displayed in an interface such as a webpage that provides password management.

The present invention also extends to rotating the source of advertisements that are displayed in a webpage. The present invention further extends to verifying user credentials that are provided for logging in to a website, and automatically logging a user out of a website once the user credentials have been verified.
