Security of this Password Manager?
Hey Folks,
For reasons of simplicity/portability I need to use a password manager for some on-line accounts. I'm looking at one called PINs See PINs here It's a great, free program; I'm just concerned about security of it. It says it uses 448Bit Blowfish encryption, which is good. But I worry about the vulnerability of the program itself. Also, It's open source. Any thoughts, opinions or experiences welcome! Thanks

The "current" version is from 2003! You had better find something that is actively being worked on. No security-related program can be so ready that one doesn't have to improve it in three years.

Thanks Nodsu.
I was a little worried about that when I saw it too. But then, i started thinking that may not be too important a concern. I'm tempted to use this unless I here of any specific threats, because it's free, easy to use, and has all the features I need. Follow up: is the Blowfish algorythm considered out-dated? Thanks! |

However, good enough for individuals... the Blowfish algorythm is still quite secure.

I recommend Cute Password Manager to manage your on-line accounts and log you in websites with these accounts automatically.
