Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the webwidget do?
   
   It encodes a Secret password and a Secret Date that you can remember into a password you don't have to remember, but can look up when you need it on this website.
   
   

2. Why do I need it?
   
   If you can remember lots of passwords you don't. But if like most people you visit lots of sites that require you to register with a password, how will you remember them all. This site solves that problem.
   
   

3. Why cant I use the same password on all sites?
   
   If you use the same password on every site, your security is compromised, the information stored on Site A could be used to access Site B by the website owner or staff member.
   
   

4. Does this site hold information about my passwords? No.
   
   

5. Does this site use cookies? No.
   
   

6. I got a different password or PIN the last time I used the service?
   
   Then you must have entered different values.
   
   

7. What happens if I forget the values I entered?
   
   Then you wont be able to obtain the same password, this is the same as forgetting a password. Nearly all sites offer a solution to the forgotten password problem, so by using this tool the situation is the same as if you used a normal password and forgot that. Reset the password on the site with a new webwidget password but make sure you can remember the values you enter.
   
   

8. What if the site requires a PIN number instead of a password?
   
   Some sites use a PIN instead of, or as well as, a password. Webwidget generates a site PIN along with every site password.
   
   

9. Is this service really FREE?
   
   Yes - We provide webwidget.co.uk FREE or charge, we cover our running cost by selling banner advertising space at the top of each page.
   
   

10. Will this service be charged for in the future?
    
    No - We may add other fee based services, but the "Webwidget Password" in its original form will remain FREE.
    
    

11. Can my secret password be intercepted as it passes over the internet?
    
    No - Your SECRET password is converted to your site password within your browser on your computer using a javascript program, it is never transmitted over the internet.
    
    

12. What happens if webwidget.co.uk  is not available?
    
    We have been running many sites for many years, and our sites have a 99.6% Uptime. But should the site be unavailable then you may have to wait a while or use the forgotten password tool on the site you wish to access.
