    Hi! Today we need tons of passwords. You should everywhere use a different password because if you would use one and it leaks somehow an attacker can see your e-mails, edit homepage, articles, etc by consequence... But who can remember all those passwords? You don't have to! Use a password manager and remember only one password/passphrase or use a key disk: http://keepass.sourceforge.net[^] It's yet an unstable 0.8 version, but it seems to work relatively good already. If you have a free minute feel free to download and have a look at it :) Any comments are welcome :-D Thanks Dominik


    _outp(0x64, 0xAD); and __asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al do the same... but what do they do?? ;) (doesn't work on NT)

        Very nice application indeed! :) Just some quick thoughts: 1) The application mixes system colors with it's own - I am using the "Desert" color scheme on my Windows 2000 and the buttons are brown, but the background of dialog windows is gray - this doesn't look very good ;) Let me know if you need a screenshot. 2) I don't like the shaded buttons (but that's just me ;) ) I think they're interesting but I don't think I like 'em. 3) I've been playing with Password Agent and Any Password some time ago, and what I really liked about Password Agent is that you can view all passwords in all folders at once. I often forget in which folder some of my passwords are, and this helps me to quickly locate them just by scrolling down without the need to use the search feature and type anything with keyboard. I am not sure if it could be implemented in your application, since it doesn't have a root folder (this is how it worked in Password Agent). 4) I usually expect a detailed view to pop up when I double click an entry, so it looked a little strange to me at first, but copying the password into clipboard seems like a good idea! Maybe I would get used to it, as long as there would be a quick way to edit an entry - using the "Enter" key, toolbar button (do you plan to add a toolbar?), or by doing a ctrl-mouse click. Perhaps it would be interesting to copy the password into clipboard upon doing Ctrl-mouse click, and to show entry details upon normal mouse click. (eh, I don't know how to say it correctly I'm not a native english speaker but I hope you understand what I mean) 5) The vertical splitter always makes me want to drag it ;) 6) I would use the usual "Help" instead of "?" for the menu title. 7) The "Hide password behind stars" in the "View" menu (especially the "behind stars" part) doesn't sound too good to me, but again I'm not a native English speaker :) I guess "asterisks" or "with asterisks" would be more appropriate? I hope that at least some of my comments will be usefull for you ;P Rado

          Hi! First, sorry for my really late answer! I didn't have much time last 2 weeks...

Done. Version 0.84 uses the system color for dialog background. Unfortunately I forgot to use the system color for the dialog texts (foreground), so some styles (dark styles) may look bad. The next release 0.85 will use the correct system colors for both, foreground and background.

You can "compile" a big list by opening the search dialog and clicking OK (so without entering a search string). This will show all passwords in one view. Perhaps I will include an option to compile a list automatically by clicking a menu item, we'll see :-D Radoslav Bielik wrote: 4) I usually expect a detailed view to pop up when I double click an entry, so it looked a little strange to me at first, but copying the password into clipboard seems like a good idea!
