PassCrypt 2 is Available!

PassCrypt 2 was uploaded to our Web site yesterday. This is a free upgrade for anyone who purchased Version 1.x, so come and get it!

Version 2 is a major upgrade with many new features:

• NEW: PassCrypt now has the ability to automatically save data submitted in a Web form, and then fill in the form automatically when you return to the site. Form data can be mapped to PassCrypt database fields using the new Edit Form Data dialog. The automatic form capture and fill-in features require the use of an IE-based browser. Users of other browsers can use PassCrypt's quick paste facility to fill in forms quickly.



• NEW: RoboForm data can now be imported into PassCrypt.



• NEW: The Notes field now has word wrap and rich text capabilities, accessed through the context menu.



• NEW: The Description and URL fields no longer have size limitations. They were previously limited to 32 characters and 256 characters, respectively.



• NEW: There is now an option to lock the database when the screensaver is activated.



• NEW: There is now an option to lock the database with a hotkey.



• NEW: When the PassCrypt database is locked, its tray icon is red and displays a locked padlock.



• NEW: When text in the grid is truncated, a tooltip is displayed with the fill text.



• NEW: An optional click sound indicates when a grid element has been selected for editing.



• NEW: Folder names are now encrypted within the database file.



• NEW: The Generate Password dialog now displays the password's bit strength.

First Password Manager to Do Both

PassCrypt 2 is the first password manager to combine a secure, feature-rich database with automatic form capture and fill-in. The data is stored in a searchable database organized by folder, with each folder displaying only the fields relevant to that folder. Databases are protected with a military strength (448-bit) Blowfish cipher, and can be locked by timer or on demand. Color coding shows you when a password has expired, and the flexible report writer can print out all passwords or just expired passwords. A built-in secure password generator can be used to create new passwords when you need them. Former users of RoboForm can painlessly move their data over to PassCrypt 2 with the Import RoboForm facility.

PassCrypt 2 costs $29.95. There is a fully functional 21-day free trial, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. After the 21-day trial period, you will encounter functional limitations and nag screens. As a courtesy, the program won't stop working entirely, but if you continue to use the program after the trial period, you must purchase a license.

More Utilities on the Way...

We have three more utilities in late stages of beta testing that will be available in the months to come. One is a backup utility by Tom Rawson, founder and former president of JP Software, which publishes 4DOS, 4OS2, 4NT, and TakeCommand. Another is a best-of-breed tool by Patrick Philippot, who also wrote the popular PC Magazine utilities FormWhiz, FileTip, FavOrg, BHO Cop, FolderMon, and ButtonBoogie. The third program nearing release is by Ignacio Alvarez and is totally unique; the idea is ingenious, and we haven't seen anything like this anywhere. Ignacio wrote the PC Magazine utilities Folder Pointers, Tray Magician, IE Zoomer, TaskWheel, FlashQuiz 2, and Recent Commands. New uploads will always be announced in our newsletter, and in our forum.
