Cool password management utility
-
Hello All, I'm new here to The Code Project. I just finished a password management utility that I'd like to get some feedback on. The backstory is that my wife & I were trying to come up with a way to manage the various account credentials for the websites we log on to for managing bills, healthcare, etc. We didn't want to use a universal password for everything, but at the same time, we didn't want to have to maintain a spreadsheet of all our passwords that could be easily stolen & read. The result was the creation of Password Vault. I designed Password Vault to be a secure repository for account credentials. The credentials are stored in encrypted text files. After enrollment, you log into the application using a universal password in order to make the credentials readable. The app doesn't actually display any of your passwords; instead, you click a button to copy it to your clipboard. I also included a feature which will launch the website for a specified account in your default web browser as well as putting the password in your clipboard. While the app is running, none of your credentials are stored in memory as plaintext unless it is in your clipboard. Also, I included a "Forgot Password" utility that leverages security questions! Please give it a try and comment! Source: http://www.mediafire.com/?qsp5i9d0y4nm0n8 Binaries: http://www.mediafire.com/?23h3q9zgcuc2dno

The name PasswordVault is already in use by several others, and they do the same thing. What makes yours standout/different? where are the screenshots? You could have written an article on your implementation seeing as you are providing the sources.......
