ePassBook Password Repository

Purpose:

This software is intended to store all of your passwords and other private information. It is specifically designed to store (name, password) pairs which are similar to what most people use to access websites. The program grew out of my own needs -- having litterally hundreds of passwords and needing a place to store them all. This software uses cryptography to ensure that the passwords are protected on disk, so an attacker cannot find them.

Cryptographic Security:

The Rijndael / AES encryption mechanism is used. Rijndael (pronounced rain-dahl) is the algorithm that has been selected by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as the candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

QuickStart:

  1. Load the software
  2. Use the File:New menu option to create a new password file
  3. Enter passwords using the <Add> button
    1. When you add a password, you'll need to enter the following information:
      • Site Name
      • User Name
      • Password
      • Description (optional)
      • Url (optional)
      • Notes (optional)
  4. By default, passwords are hidden in the main window to prevent observation. You can use the <view> button to view a password entry.

 

Main Window Buttons

Add
The add button adds a new password entry to the list. A dialog box will be created that prompts you for the site name, user name, password, etc.

Delete
This button deletes the currently hilighted entry from the list. Once deleted, an entry cannot be recovered.

Edit
The edit button allows you to edit the fields of a password entry. For example, you can change the decsription, password, notes, etc.

View
The view button will display the password entry onscreen. It is necessary in the case that you have selected the preference option that hides the password text in the main window. In that case, the only way to view the password for a password entry is with the view button.

Visit
The visit button launches an internet explorer (or whatever browser you've configured as your default) browser to view the current site. To use this feature, you must have entered a web address in the "url" field of the password entry.

Notes
The notes button displays a window containing the notes field of the password entry.
