Hi Alan, > Now I try again. Sorry if it becomes a repeat posting.
It's a repeat posting. But while I have your ear... Your idea is basically sound and I suggested something similar but there's a major problem with it. > Encrypt the file any way that's easy, such as a password protected > zip, using your Masterpass. When you wish to be in the Open state, > unzip passwords.ini (use a less obvious filename if you prefer) > always to the same path. Writing the passwords to disk is a big no-no. Password-protected zip files are relatively weak. Use something like PGPdisk instead. There are several similar programs (commercial, free, or Free) which basically give you an encrypted file system: type in the password and you have a new drive. > The variety of individual implementations makes it more secure. Most certainly not! Unless all implementations are equally solid of course... but how likely is that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity ------------------------ Yahoo!
