Abstract

A system and process for providing passwords from a client computer to different servers, databases and applications and other services accessed on and inter- or intra-net. A program storage device has a reference table having a listing of a plurality of services accessible on an inter- or intra-net, a real password associated with each of the services, a variable name for the real password used by each of the services to enter the real password associated therewith, and a virtual password corresponding to a desired group of the services and associated real passwords. A desired service listed on the desired group of services in the reference table is selected for access and the virtual password corresponding to the desired group of services is entered to begin access. The variable name for the real password associated with the desired service is found on the reference table, and the variable name for the real password is used to enter the real password for the desired service to gain access to the desired service. There is further provided a first virtual password corresponding to a first group of the services and associated real passwords and a second virtual password corresponding to a second group of the services and associated real passwords. The desired group of services may then be selected using the first or second virtual password.
