How McAfee SafeKey keeps you safe

We've taken every possible step to make sure your personal information stays private.

  • We use government-level encryption to keep your sensitive information top secret.
  • Your personal information never travels over the Internet and it never touches our servers. Only the encrypted data does, and it's useless without your McAfee SafeKey password.
  • You can customize your security settings to make the software work the way you want it to.
  • McAfee SafeKey includes a feature to help you generate secure, hard-to-guess passwords for all your favorite sites. And because you don't have to remember them, your passwords can be as long and complex as you want.

Features

McAfee SafeKey stores the usernames and passwords for your favorite websites, and logs you in to them automatically. You can install McAfee SafeKey on all your devices, including PCs, Macs, iPhones,

iPads, and Android devices. So no matter where you are or what device you're using, you have instant, secure access to all your login details and personal information.

Fill in forms automaticallyStore things like your address, phone number, credit card numbers, and banking details. Whenever you need to enter your information on a website, just click a few buttons and McAfee SafeKey fills in your details—automatically.
Store secure notes Store things like bank card PINs, bike locks codes, and passwords for your favorite apps in a secure note. The information can only be accessed when you’re logged in to McAfee SafeKey.
Import or export your login detailsImport your login details stored in another password manager app or in a file on your computer. Or export anything stored in your McAfee SafeKey vault to several different file types—effortlessly.
Generate secure passwordsGenerate secure passwords for your websites—automatically. Customize things like password length and use of special characters.
Use a virtual keyboardUse your mouse instead of a keyboard to log in to McAfee SafeKey—perfect if you’re using a public computer and are worried about key logging.
Use one-time passwordsLog in to McAfee SafeKey with confidence by using a one-time password. After it’s used, it’s no longer valid. It’s ideal if you’re concerned about the security of a public computer or network.

Understanding FormFills

You can use McAfee SafeKey to store your credit card numbers, bank account information, billing and shipping addresses, Social Security Number, and any other information you need to enter frequently. This is especially helpful when you shop online, because McAfee SafeKey automatically adds your information with just a few clicks. There's no need to enter your information manually every time you need to fill in a form, so you save time.

You can create a profile for each name, address, credit card, and bank account you use. And you can create more than one profile for the same type of information. For example, you might have a personal address, a shipping address, a work address, and even a vacation address. You might also have multiple credit cards stored in your FormFill profiles. You can store them all in McAfee SafeKey.

If you have more than one FormFill profile set up, but you know you're going to use one FormFill profile more than the others, you can make it your default profile.
