Jonas,

I've only read a bit about Oubilette in the past but it sounded like the
encryption provided there was not bad-Blowfish, if I remember correctly.
However, anytime anybody can get to all your passwords by cracking one of
them you lose a certain amount of security.

Basically, you have to balance what you want to protect against how much
work you need to do to protect it. If it's something that should be highly
secure, I wouldn't use a password manager at all.

By the way, your English is fine. Considering that you are 12 and you have
some basic knowledge of the concepts of password security and there are many
English-speaking, network-managing adults who aren't even aware that you
shouldn't install IIS if you don't need to serve web pages, you can speak
any way you want!

Hello!!

I want to use a password-manager like "Oubliette".
Is this very insecure?
I can choose a very hard master-password with more than 96 bits lenght.
What encryption-algorithm and key-lenght use a program like this?

Thanks for everything!
