Password Tech v3.1.0 Updated
billon on 22 Jun 2020 Change history
- 7MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 14 Jun 2020
- Suggested by I am Baas
Password Tech (formerly PWGen) provides a variety of security tools including a strong random password and data file generator, master password tool, and a text encryption tool.
- Random number generator - the program can create lists of random characters or pass-phrases from word lists and uses mouse/keyboard activity to gather more entropy. The program includes lots of features to make these passwords easy and conform to any security standard.
- Master password - lets you create strong passwords using two words, usually a single password with it's destination, creating strong passwords for every site ("email" is unique from "network"). It's an easy way to avoid writing down your passwords but always having them available.
- Text encryption - draws from any application that supports a text copy/paste to encode (using the cliboard).

On MS windows, this is not a portable version : It needs an admin account, to dezip and install the exe.

@Gougueuleu: that's true, but we've listed admin in the requirements section. As to weather that's "true" portable depends on who you ask. |

- 4MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 19 Feb 2017

ExcelPass easily adds password protection to Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF and ZIP files. The program supports drag-and-drop and can quickly encode one or more files to use standard security, meaning it can be opened by compatible viewers and editors, including Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, Adobe Acrobat, and many more. Both read and write protection are available (excluding ZIP files, which do not support write restrictions).
The program can also disable security via the same interface (click the unlock button). Functional in 64-bit.
NOTE: May not work with more recent versions of Windows 10.

Although there are a variety of other ways to add a password to Office and ZIP files, there is no PDF encryption component (either read or write) in the free versions of PDF-XChange, Foxit, and Adobe Acrobat. As a result, this is a very nice addition for PDF users.

Works fine for zip and pdf files but nothing happens on xls(x) and doc(x) files :(

@spicydog: there is a known bug with creating a read-only password, which is being explored by the author. However, I just recently tested view without issue, and had no issues with DOCX or ZIP files. Files were generated with Office 2010 and 7zip. Please post in forums (or on the github page) if you keep having issues. |
