Password Minder - Because there was no safe way for me to integrate my
software with the operating system so that I could hook every possible
password edit field automatically, I opted for a very simple approach: I
just wired up Password Minder to a hotkey combination by creating a
shortcut on my desktop and configuring the "Shortcut Key" setting via
the shortcut's property sheet. Whenever I find myself on a password
field in a Web form or dialog box, I just hit my hotkey combination
(Control-Shift-P), and up pops a little prompt asking me for my master
password. Once I enter my password, the system performs some
calculations to obtain a master key. Later I'll go into detail about the
motivation and mechanics for these calculations, but for now, suffice it
to say that after a couple of seconds another form pops up showing a
list of Web sites and applications for which Password Minder is managing
my passwords. Most sites simply use my e-mail address as my user name,
but other sites like my bank require something different, so my list
reminds me at a glance what user name I use at these more finicky sites.

The current version is built with .NET Framework 1.1, which you'll need
if you want to run Password Minder.

Forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but what
functionality did you need to write this program that REQUIRED
..Net ?

I am trying to figure out whether it is worth learning .Net or
some other more open and x=platform framework.

Pointers VERY much appreciated..

Dynamical Passwords is a simple tool to generate, manage, and recover
forgotten passwords. It allows you to generate passwords based on the
date and your personal master password. There is no need to remember or
save all the generated passwords as far as you can remember you master
password (key) and the date, since you can reverse the process and
select the date, enter your master password, and see which passwords are
assigned to that date.
