Even if you remember to lock your Pocket PC with a password every time it's switched off, a dedicated password storage program is still a sensible idea. As well as keeping all your passwords, bank account, credit card and serial number details in one place, the best 'electronic wallet' programs lock your data after a minute or so

CodeWallet Pro 2005 is one of the most costly programs of its type, but it's also the slickest, presenting all your personal information via a Windows Explorer-like screen of nested files and folders. Common data types such as credit card and web password details are easy to enter, thanks to a good array of standard templates, and these help to prompt you for all the required information, as well as speeding up the entry process.

For ultimate flexibility, you can also create your own entry types using a built-in forms designer, and even store plain text notes, all of which makes the CodeWallet a truly flexible secure data repository.

You can keep all this information synchronised with a companion Windows application, However, that costs another $30 (around £17), making it a costly overall package.
