Hundreds of Passwords? No Sweat!

Joseph Plazo | Feb 13, 2008 | Comments


My notebooks’ bookmarks are a mess. I stashed over a hundred sites in at least 20 categories. Fifty percent of them requires me to login with unique credentials and twenty percent of them hold sensitive information. Imagine that data overload!

Last year, I used to maintain a hidden truecrypt volume on my disc where I hid a 1MB file containing my logins and passwords. Security is topnotch, but it takes me about a minute to navigate from activating the hidden partition, switching to the hidden directory and opening my files to browse for my data.

Yesterday, I discovered an easier solution.

I stumbled across LockCrypt. The software is an account management program written in Java. LockCrypt creates a secure, central database to store difficult to remember passwords and other critical information. Navigating through Lockcrypt to reach my secure data takes less than half the time it took me to wade through TrueCrypt volumes. Check out the features:

An Easy To Access Database
LockCrypt creates a database storing details of your website passwords, telephone numbers, credit card details, and other kind of difficult to remember information. You’ll never need to tack postits to your monitor screen again.

Monster Encryption
LockCrypt uses cipher block chaining and AES encryption to secure your data. No hacker can get at your info. Not even your determined girlfriend looking for those hidden dates of yours.

Fool Proof Interface
Drag and Drop is supported by LockCrypt to help make re-arranging your accounts easy. If you’ve used the HandySafe app for UIQ, you’ll be right at home with LockCrypt. Even kids can operate this!

Customization Galore

You can do passwords, telephone numbers, grocery lists… whatever needs storing!

Mobile version
Got a phone running Java applications? Take LockCrypt with you wherever you go. The J2ME version of LockCrypt, LockCrypt Mobile, runs on Java capable phones. Now you won’t fret when that thief takes your phone as you haggle at the market.

Download lockcrypt- it won’t cost you a cent and you’ll enjoy fantastic peace of mind. I know I do.

  • The best encryption algorithm can be broken if your password can be guessed :)

    btw you have an error at the end of the article, I think you want people to download Lockcrypt and not Truecrypt. Have you tried True Crypt 5 yet, it comes with System Partition encryption which could get rid of the problem that you have to mount the volumes after the OS has started.
  • That Software looks promising..will try it soon
  • Fixed up the link. Thanks martin
  • Hey that looks great. Thanks for the link and thanks for sharing it here.

    Thanks for the recommendation :) I have to say I did *TRY* to work with TrueCrypt, but although I do usually work hard at things that I don't quite get the first time, TC baffled me for so long that I ended up completely forgetting where my 'hidden' folder was located (I've now uninstalled TC, but have no idea if the hidden folder was removed or not). So yes, an alternative is very welcome!
  • The nice thing about truecrypt is you can carry the secret folder around. Its a large hashed file than be opened only by the executable
  • Thanks for mentioning LockCrypt, I saw your site in my referrer logs.

    @bert: You can carry your LockCrypt database with you as well, the database location can easily be changed. :)
  • I think I'm going to give LockCrypt a try. I've been using Password Safe(PWsafe) for ever and love it, but short of using wine on linux it isn't very cross-platform happy.

    You might want to consider KeyPass. It's a 700K standalone It does much the same as LockCrypt but it doesn't require the overhead of JRE. Also runs from a USB drive so you can take it with you anywhere. I tried just about all of them before I went with KeyPass. Check it out!
