Why do I need password management in my file manager ?
This is a very old question. I do. of course i could use keepass. But i don't. Why? Maybe because i am always trying to use TC in all my tasks because i am usually much faster when using TC than any other software. I prefer the keyboard.
There is no doubt that Kee Pass is far powerfull PassStore is not trying to steal its place.
What is the benefit of using such a plugin compared to using KeePass ?
I am faster with TC.
KeePass has most features to manage passwords, including an hotkey to automatically fill out web forms and network logins.
That's not faire. PassStore is still a baby. We never know what the future will bring.

Let's say I take the .ini file and change the Key=xx xx xx into Key=0. Then when I open PassStore it asks me for a new main password, and afterwards I can see all my other passwords no problem. However, this doesn't seem so secure to me: what if it was Not me doing this, but my evil twin?...
Would it be possible to include the main password into the encryption of the rest? This would mean that unless the main password is known, the other info becomes useless. Perhaps this could also be made reversible, i.e. if I change back to old/known password, the info becomes correct again.

But you won't be able to see your passwords. I didn't get it. TC crashes. I have to fix that....
The Master Password is used to create the 128 bit key which is used to decrypt the information. If you change the master Passwrod you won't be able to decrypt anymore.

Change the passStore.ini file from outside PassStore (write key=0 in the passStore.ini), then open PassStore, and then see the other passwords. Anyone with admin rights might do that (i.e. change the .ini file), which is why I said it was not secure.

You are right. That's defenitly a bug. I have to somehow include the Master Password in the xml. That's not easy to solve. Maybe in the an attribute of <pswd> tag.

Then I can browse but opening for example the Teste entry, I get the following error:
Which entry is that? Does it have more that 16 characters?
I need to do a better handling of encryption/decryption errors.
This error is raised whenever the decryption fails because the previous version was not encrypting text with more that 16 characters. If this teste entry has a password with more that 16 characters ecrypted with the previous version you will have to add it again. Sorry.
It seems that this happens with all entries. I will check it.

Yes. I am always forgetting....
Regarding translations. Do i have to convert all the code to unicode if i want to make it translatable?

The Teste entry is a standard entry that is there after you do a clean installation. It is right beneath the "New Entry". As I can't open it because it crashes, I don't know if it has 16 characters or not.
Hello,
I didn't had the time to correct the bugs that are happening, but i think this weekend and the next week i will have some time to spend with the plugin.
My plans for the future are:
-Unicode version. This is needed to support multiple languages.
-Encrypt username and notes fields.
-Support copy/paste from the clipboard
-Prevent the user see entries whenever the user fails to enter the password as reported by ND.
-Support Alt-enter to open the URL from the entry
-Add some sort of time-out to force the user to re-enter the password after a specific period of time.
The most important is to correct the bugs that are crashing TC as soon as possible.
I might need to modify how the encryption is done and in that case the old passwords won't work in newer versions.
Sugestions for new features are welcome of course.

one sugestion for option:Add some sort of time-out to force the user to re-enter the password after a specific period of time- it would be nice that this option is configurable by user
I'm not shure, I don't have any programming knowladge.
Is there a way to install VC8 dll runtimes on USB stick (or copying it from "C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\" directory in plugin directory on USB stick) so plugin can work?
