Symantec launches Norton Identity Safe as standalone beta app

Symantec on Tuesday launched the public beta of Norton Identity Safe, a free password management application for mobile and desktop devices. The software was originally a feature built into Norton Internet Security and Norton 360, and is now available for the first time as a standalone application.

Norton Identity Safe beta is designed to be a simple and secure way for users to store and manage their logins and passwords for all their different applications and services. With the application installed, the user only needs to remember their master password, and then they can launch any of their stored services. This login information can be synched across the users' different devices as well.

The beta also includes Norton Safe Web protection, Norton's free reputation tool that keeps a constantly-updated view of potentially suspect URLs and unsafe sites.
