Can anyone explain how this thing works??

no idea, but how many of these do we really need? :P Does it use any sort of encryption? Or is it just a glorified "Notepad" for your password storage? hehe.

Password Safe works great (the opensource one from sf.net).

It's work like PassMan (the best password manager in the world), but it's FREE and have more features.

A new program update is out (1.1) but I'm not going to post it to the forums because this program sucks.

I downloaded the ZIP package today and much to my surprise, I did not get version 2.0.90304 as listed on the website. Instead, I got version 1.0.70403. Strike ONE.
Based on my limited testing with version 1.0.70403, I can say the password generator is very insecure. It will generate only 10 character password with only lower case letters and numbers. Strike TWO.
You can manually input your own much longer and more secure passwords in you like, but a built-in password generator is supposed to create secure passwords for you, so you don't have to do it manually.
@Luc, you are right. It is a strange way to enter data into the database. I had to enter something in the Username field and the Password field as well as the Caption field, THEN click Insert before I successfully was able to add a record to the Record list.
I was unable to find any kind of Help file. No mention of what kind of encryption algorithm in used to secure your database. All they claim is 'It utilizes a highly secure multi tier encryption algorithm to securely store all your information.' Whatever that means. Strike THREE.
I would not recommend this software.
