Password Safe is a database for encrypting sensitive information. Once opened with a master password, you can copy a password and paste it directly into your application. Alternatively, Password Safe supports "Auto Type" that enters the username and password into the target application by simulating keystrokes.
The database is encrypted using the Twofish encryption algorithm. A Linux version (currently in Beta) is also available from the website.
Alternatively, Password Safe Portable and the outdated X-Password Safe are stealth.

How to extract 2. should be: "for portable config put config.cfg in portable folder root, beside license.txt" Source: https://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree/#downl

@Ennovy: Though worded slightly differently, they seem to mean the same thing? Basically just create an empty "config.cfg" in the root folder, a rather typical technique used by many other portable apps.

@Andrew: I had already changed it. Before that the instruction was to create the config file in the bin directory which is incorrect. |

Strong Passwords Need Entropy is entropy calculator, password's strength and survivability checker and a strong password generator. The program analyzes your password and displays statistics about its length, character frequency, symbols, lowercase+uppercase letters, and digits. Based on this information, it calculates the password entropy, or the number of trials needed to find it and the time to crack the password.
Note that this analysis doesn't take into account "dictionary attacks" or use of words. For example, "ambassadorconjure" is long but not necessarily hard for a computer to guess.

I didn't realize Bandizip was here or I'd have commented sooner. I LOVE Bandizip it's the only archive program that handles Zpaq files well. When you have a big zpaq update you can Ctrl+F in the archive and filter and search the entire backup history of the Zpaq. |

Eron, If you did get a virus it was not related to RockXP because I have scanned it with ClamWinPortable and AVG and come up with nothing. Not to mention I used this program a long time ago and never had any problems. Also, it does not call home so don't worry.
