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