Apparently you are using the DateTime Picker from MSCOMCT2.OCX which I don't have. Anyway, the whole program crashes when clicking on the DOB ellipses button. And you might want to mention the dependency in your article.
<EDIT>
Also, I just noticed that this is categorized under VB.NET. I thought something was funny about using the OCX since .NET has a built in DateTimePicker.
Also, I wanted to mention that this is a neat little utility. It should be updated to .NET because of it's usefulness.

Thank you very much for your comments. In fact I developed this utility using VB6 and while posting it on codeproect I found that there was no place for VB6 projects so I placed it here.
This also expalins why I used DateTimePicker. If it crashes, I'm sorry because the error should have been trapped using a OnError statement.
I'm too busy in my MS thesis now a days so cant update it to VB.NET or C#. However will do it when I start my PhD and feel a little bit relaxed
Thank you.

This looks like a good program but I was hopeing to find something that address vb.net examples. This program was written in vb6.

It would be good if at least one of these guys making password keepers, made an online version. Like that I could use it from wherever I happen to be.

Yes it would be nice and I've been thinking of making one.
But the issue is that one who is using it will have to host it on his/her own website/webpage as trusting someone else for your passwords might not be a good idea.

For people that came on this page simply to get a password manager, here's another no-nonsense, good and free one I use with pleasure: Whisper32.

I wouldn't say password archivers are wrong or not. But technically, it's highly recommend not to use it. Indeed, what makes it practical is the Copy to clipboard function, but this one is the one no smart person should ever use to fill forms. Why ? Because the website can read your clipboard by simply calling the javascript method .paste().
More info here[^].
On the other hand, IE 5 and higher has a built-in password archiver, that does not require clipboard at all. So ?
if you start putting in too manay features, it no longer remains useful for beginners

True, but it would be easy enough to add a timer to the program to automatically clear the clipboard after 10 seconds or so. That allows you to do the paste operation keeps things reasonably secure. Also, you are assuming that the password being compromised can be fully associated with the wesite and username it goes with. While possible, it seems to be a very remote possibility for the majority of people.

"the website can read my clipboard" this is not a problem because I am pasting my clipboard on THEIR website and they already have my password
