'Idiot-friendly' site remembers your passwords

Like many of us, David Lynn always found himself forgetting his user name or password when he wanted to log on to a website. He would write down the information on those sticky notes, and then he would lose them.

"I decided it was time to change this," said Lynn, 23, of Dix Hills. His solution was to start a company and a website that would be "idiot-friendly" when it came to logging on to Internet sites.

So he a few others began devising logaway.com two years ago. Launched earlier this month, it logs you on to all of your favorite sites that are password-protected by automatically visiting the site, filling in your user name and password, and clicking "submit," allowing the user to just log on to one website: logaway.

Logaway, Lynn said, does it all a lot faster and can do it with hundreds of sites simultaneously, and "it works anywhere anytime," on any desktop, laptop, netbook and on any operating system or browser. And it's free. "This is like your portal for anything," Lynn said.

Already, Lynn said, logaway has about 12,000 users. Lynn's company, logaway.com, hopes to be profitable by directing users to sites where they can purchase items, which would result in a payment to logaway.com.

"We tell people to make up a password they'll never remember, put it into logaway, and let logaway remember it," Lynn said.
