A utility to manage your passwords and membership info in encrypted form

Sample Image - PasswordKeeper.jpg

Introduction

This is a simple utility that I developed to help myself remember the passwords and memberships at different websites.

Details

For passwords archiving, I'm using blowfish encryption algorithm which is included as a separate class. This utility can manage multiple users at the same time. It also provides a facility to print all of your records in the form of an HTML file. For this purpose it automatically generates the HTML code for the file. I hope this is really useful for personal use as well as learning to program in VB. All your comments/feedback are very special to me.

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.
