Mac has the password thing, but I haven't looked into it. I should get her a password program to keep them all.
It's called Keychain and works awesome.

No need to get a 3rd party utility.

So here's tip number 1, forget about looking for 3rd party paid utilities before trying the built in Apple stuff. Generally you'll find the box comes with pretty much everything you need.

Tip 2, think obvious. example, to change network settings in OS X

Go to the little Apple Icon, select System Preferences->Network.

VS windows

Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

In Control Panel, under Pick a Category, click Network and Internet Connections.

Under or pick a Control Panel icon, click Network Connections to display the Network Connections window.
