Yes, security through obscurity. A possible attacker won't know for sure which key is the useful one without opening the keychain. Or can he know? While we're at this one: the reason I am using KeePass is because I have a hard time remembering one strong password. Having about 50 of them, a different one for each account, it's a true pain. But a passphrase is something completely different. It's harder to type. It employs far less characters. Yet it can be looong. How about that? Is that any better? 45 ASCII lowercase with a uppercase ASCII and a couple of signs is better than 16 random alphanumerics and signs? _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
