Password Safe v3.31 Updated

SYSTEM on 14 May 2013
  • 19MB (uncompressed)
  • Suggested by Michael

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, X-Password Safe is also available.

@Mike: Clipboard vs. AutoType - both cracks involve a trojan running on you local machine (under your security access). If you have a trojan on your system, your screwed -- period. Also, just putting something on your clipboard doesn't give your trojan clipboard logger any info about what object that text is the password for (or even that it is a password).
@SomeGuy - The hacker would need both a very sophisticate password cracker -and- physical access to your entire password file. The random guy who finds your lost thumbdrive is unlikely to have the expertise (He's unlikely even to realize that the innoculous file on the thumb drive holds your passwords)

@SomeGuy

It's very very hard to crack the password anyway as long as it's random and long. My own password is all random and is 20 characters long so I'm sure at least it will take a very very very long time before they can crack it. However, if quantum computer comes along...... we would all be screwed.

Creates folder at "MyDoc\My Safes" & "AppData\PasswordSafe"

KeePass v1.25

SYSTEM on 21 Jan 2013

KeePass is a password manager that helps you store and manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. You need only remember one single master password to unlock the whole database, which is encrypted using AES and Twofish algorithms.

The program includes a strong automatic password generator, expire dates, customized icons and categories, etc.

Note: Since V2.x requires the .NET framework, we only track changes for V1.x for the database.

Alternatively, KeePass Password Safe Portable and X-KeePass are also available.

System Requirements: Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7
Writes settings to: Application folder

  • Added option to show the tray icon only if the main window has been sent to the tray.
  • The caret position in a secure edit control is now preserved when unhiding and hiding the content.
  • When starting KeePass for the first time, it asks whether to enable the automatic update check or not (if not enabled already).
  • KeePass now shows an error message when the user accidentally attempts to use a database file as key file.
  • When holding Alt while double-clicking onto a notes field in the main entry list, KeePass now copies the displayed cell text instead of the raw notes to the clipboard.
Improvements:
  • {GOOGLECHROME} placeholder: updated detection code to also support the latest versions of Chrome.
  • Enhanced user switch detection.
  • Moved quick search options to a separate category.

Been using this program since early 2007 and don't know how I could do without. Truly a grand piece of art!

Mike on 2009-09-10 15:51

This is my favorite password manager. I've been using it for 2 years.

Magibon on 2011-06-22 19:06

I was using PortableApps version for quite some time.
But have recently switched to v2 because i use this mainly on my Notebook and .Net is not a problem for me.

I used to store my Usernames and Passwords in a text file, but this app. is great.

Thanks to the author for making this free :)
This is one of my most utilized apps. on my Notebook.

Password Gorilla v1.5.3.6.3

JohnTHaller on 26 Nov 2012

The Password Gorilla helps you manage your logins. It stores all your user names and passwords, along with login information and other notes, in a securely encrypted file. A single "master password" is used to protect the file. If you want to log in to a service or Web site, the Password Gorilla copies your user name and password to the clipboard, so that you can easily paste it into your Web browser or other application. An integrated random password generator can provide one-time passwords, tunable to various services’ policies.

Cross-platform (Linux, Mac, iOS, Android).

Alternatively, Password Gorilla Portable updates paths for recently used databases.

@BigD
It does create a config file in the application folder but it looks like one need to run Password Gorilla with the "--rc configfile" arguments every single time. Is that correct?

jaden on 2012-07-09 04:19

Both download links don't work because they're missing a 3 after the 6. Here are the corrected links.

32-bit: https://github.com/downloads/zdia/gorilla/gorilla15363.exe
64-bit: https://github.com/downloads/zdia/gorilla/gorilla15363_64.exe

@CB13RY: from my quick checking, it seems that if you run the portable version once, it creates a 'Settings.ini' file in the application folder; you can edit this file with any text editor to change the paths included -- I was able to change from absolute path to filename only...

Midas on 2011-11-07 14:47

BTW, current version is now 2.3 -- please update.

lautrepay on 2011-11-08 01:29

@Midas: Updated, thanks.

Password Corral v4.04.154

Andrew Lee on 12 Feb 2013

Password Corral is a password manager that encrypts stored information, keeping it safe from prying eyes. Each password can have both a short description and comments which can also contain hyperlinks to launch your web browser. Each password entry can also have an expiration date to remind you to change the password.

Uses Blowfish or Diamond2 algorithms.

Category:
System Requirements: Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7
Writes settings to: Application folder
Unicode support: No
License: Freeware
How to extract:
  1. Download the "no setup" ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice.
  2. Launch password4.exe.
  3. Click on the double-arrow sign at the login screen and select "Use the Password Corral program folder" before clicking on "New User" to create the data file.
What's new? V4.0.4.154 - 01/31/2010:
* A New plain text CSV export option has been added. Note that you
CANNOT import a CSV file back into Password Corral. You must still
use one of the encrypted export options if you plan on importing
the data back into Password Corral.

V4.0.3.152 - 06/24/2009:
* Custom build.

V4.0.3.149 - 03/12/2007:
* When importing and selecting the option to replace your entire
password list with the import file data, Password Corral would
reject the master password used to create the import file as
incorrect, but accept the current master password for the import.
This would result in corruption of all data being imported unless
the current master password was the same as the master password used
to create the import file. This bug has been fixed.

Yep, I agree with the above. Brilliant program. Served me faithfully for a number of years.

Chris on 2010-02-08 05:47

Program has now been updated to v4.04. Still a great utility, only wish it would offer AES 256bit encryption as well.

Chris on 2010-06-16 11:36

Just a warning - do not enable the 'Password Protect while in System Tray' option without also enabling the 'Minimise to Taskbar Tray' option as well. If you only enable the 'Password Protect' option, and you minimise the program to the Taskbar, when you restore the window, and then try and do anything, you will receive a crash that will likely corrupt your password database.

It's repeatable, and has been reported to the program author as a bug. If you have both options enabled, there is no problem. It is only when you have the password protect option enabled and the minimise option disabled that the problem occurs.
