[Passwordsafe-users] Rekeying or just password change?

[MSBsDkiUHF M. <msb...@ho...>]

Hi,
Let's say that - at some point of time a password repository is stolen and the master password is either known or cracked.- to combat this, master password is changed

Will the master password change the internal keying, e.g. future versions of the same repository aren't decrypted?

I can think of a few ways this could be implemented,
MASTER_KEY = hash(MASTER_PASSWORD).In this implementation, master key will change if MASTER_PASSWORD change.

MASTER_KEY = noise xor hash(MASTER_PASSWORD).In this implementation master key could remain same upon password change (i.e. could be vulnerable)

So, ... how is it? is rekeying implemented to combat "old version stolen and cracked" scenarios?

Re: [Passwordsafe-users] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.20

[ronys <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

Due to an error in the release process, the wrong versions of non-English
support libraries were included in the 3.20 release.

The files have been updated and uploaded to SourceForge, replacing the
previous release.

You only need to download version 3.20 again if you're running PasswordSafe
under the following localized versions of Windows:
Chinese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish.
All other users are unaffected.

The updated sha1 checksums are:
a0170c56345f24910a0ac9d8b49c933911974eeb *pwsafe-3.20.exe
fcd399c957c31a0d005129eb0e5cd010db905460 *pwsafe-3.20.msi

0da932c0c7dbae90e8b154d5f6a617b45490c371 *pwsafe-3.20-src.zip

My sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.20. This release

[] No longer complains about WTS service in pre-XP versions of Windows.
[] Filters containing tests on the entry type are now correctly exported to
XML.
[] Validate of Password History (-v command line flag) now removes history

[Passwordsafe-users] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.19

[ronys <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.19. This release
has a couple of nice new features, as described below, some bug fixes, as
well as support for French (NEW!), German (full), Swedish (full), Russian
(partial), Chinese (partial), Polish (partial), and Spanish (partial). If
you're interested in supporting your language, please let me know. Thanks to
Karlo, Bjorn, pm_kan and Francois for their translation efforts and feedback
on this release! Many thanks to DK for his work and patience, and thanks to
Vasily and gillum for their contributions to this release.

New Features for 3.19
================
[2832983] The Edit/View dialog now shows the details of the entry being
edited/viewed in its title caption (This is updated when saving the entry).
[2832810] A new email field has been added, supporting email headers 'to',
'subject', 'cc', 'bcc' and 'body' (per RFC 2368 - see online help for
details). If this field is not empty, it is used instead of the URL field
even if that contains an email address.
Note: whereas the URL field had to have the 'mailto:' prefix to denote an
email address rather than a URL, the email field must not contain this
prefix.
[] PasswordSafe now handles Vista (and later) logoff, shutdown & restart
more gracefully, giving the user now has more time to save a modified
database.
[] Add new AutoType special fields '\wnnn' and '\Wnnn'. Unlike '\d', which
sets the delay between sending each subsequent character, '\w' & '\W'
introduces a one-time delay where they appear.  For '\w', the value 'nnn' is
in milli-seconds. For '\W', this specifies seconds. Note: Max. value is 999s
(16m 39s), during which time PasswordSafe will be unresponsive while it
waits the specified time. Also supported via the Run Command $a command.
[] Add menu item to copy the Run Command to the clipboard.
[] Support Run Command and Double-Click Action (and email) fields in
Filters.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.19
===========================
[] Changing the Security option to lock Password Safe when the workstation
is locked, no longer requires a restart of Password Safe to come into
effect.
[] Due to the French keyboard not supporting the key '-' in an accelerator,
the shortcut for "Password Subset" has been changed from "Ctrl + -" to "Ctrl
+ B". Please do not allocate "Ctrl + -" to any shortcut if you will be using
a French keyboard.
[] If a dialog is open (e.g. Add, Edit, Options etc.) and Password Safe is
minimized, the Close and Exit options are no longer in the System Tray
context menu. The user must first Restore the application and close the
dialog before being able to close the database or exit the program.
[] If preferences stored in the database are changed, the user will be asked
if they want to save them in the database when closing the database or
application even if none of the entries have been changed.
[] The preference to Lock the Database after a certain amount of idle time
has changed from being a global parameter affecting all databases opened by
the user to be specific to each database.

Bugs fixed in 3.19
=============
[2865116] Status-Bar message now correctly states "Password Copied" when
doing a "Run Command".
[2865116] Status-Bar message now updated when using the keyboard arrows to
transverse entries in Tree and List views.
[2856750] The Password Policy now correctly displayed in List View, when
selected.
[2856051] Changes to database preferences are no longer lost upon minimize.
[2856410] The "Run Command" menu entry is no longer greyed out for Shortcuts
to base entries with a Run Command.
[2851848] Mouse double-click interval removed from Virtual Keyboard to allow
multiple virtual keys to be entered quickly.
[2850907] Password field no longer cleared after focus change.
[2842700] No longer crashes when using a French keyboard.
[2192490, 2840534] Multiple desktops now handled correctly for Windows XP
and later system.
[2836569] Correct password data now copied from Edit dialog using 'Smart
Labels'
[2832991] Double-click action display in the Status Bar now shows correct
value for entries that have overriden the current default.
[2820260] Fix password expiry interval processing during Edit.
[2818653] Password expiry interval now correctly exported to XML and
displayed during Edit, if present.
[2813295] 'Browse + Autotype' system tray menu items fixed - thanks to
Vasily for reporting and sending the patches for this.
[2085058] Old (1.x) format databases now closed correctly.
[] Fixed problem with viewing a shortcut in read-only mode - thanks to
gillum for reporting and helping track this down.
[] Fix crash when using External Editor on Notes field.
[] Password verification field not set when editing/viewing an alias entry
and the password is hidden.
[] Enter key works again in initial dialog if browse button used to select a
database. 
[] AutoType by an alias now has correct password and its own notes data
rather than '[Alias]' and its base's notes data, respectively.
[] Run command no longer truncates the first field if it is within double
quotes.
[] Duplicate entry now duplicates double-click action of original as well.
[] Double-click on a shortcut entry now executes the action of its base.
[] Drag & Drop of entries with explicit double-click action values between
different databases now works. 
[] Browse to URL from an Alias entry now puts the correct password in the
clipboard.
[] Text import no longer overwrites entry's RunCommand with double-click
action value.
[] Tidy up item order in Edit menu and right-click context menu.

I don't like writing anything down that could be useful to the wrong people.

If you have a book with lots of alpha/numeric text, such as some math
text books, you can get a strong passwords from it.

For instance, you might have an algebra book with formulas like the
following:

   2a -- b = R

This could serve as a strong master password, as it has a length of 10,
contains both upper and lower case letters, numbers, symbols, spaces and
should not be too difficult to memorize.  But just in case you ever have
a memory lapse, you should have an alternative way of retrieving it.

As long as the book is kept at hand and you can remember it's title, the
only reminders you need are the line and page numbers of the formula.
So your reminder could be on an entry named "reminder" in your address
book and looking like "23,118".

Re: [Passwordsafe-users] forgot password, how to recover?

[Post-Karlo <ka...@va...>]

Hi Lee,

 

AFAIK there is only 1 possibility to open a database in PasswordSafe: you
have to know the password!

There is NO other chance! (Would be not so good for security reasons).

 

Normally I know my database password.

My solution is to keep database passwords in another database, and the
password of this database is put on paper (don't forget were you put it!).

Afterwards I ZIP this database, and rename it. Put it -to be sure- on a CD
(to overcome computers, after some time).

 

Kind regards

Karel Van der Gucht

Subject: Password Safe 3.18 is crashing when using keyboard
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 08:00:36 +0000











Hello,

 

I’m using Password Safe in a professional setup, for
approx. 30 users.

 

Recently with the latest version, Password safe is
crashing when using the keyboard.

 

For instance, if I use CTRL+C in the password list to
copy the password to the clipboard, the application immediately crash. The same
effect is obtained by using the ENTER key in the password list.

 

Am I the only one using keyboard shortcuts with
Password Safe ?

 

This problem is really annoying me: the only
workaround I found is to only use the mouse when navigating in the password
list.

 

I’ve met the problem on Windows XP, English and
French. Password safe was installed using the .msi file.

 

Any suggestion ?

[Passwordsafe-users] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.18 - prerelease

[ronys <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the prerelease of version 3.18 of PasswordSafe.

The new features in this version are a bit more complex than the last few
releases, so we've decided to release it gradually, starting with the
members of this mailing list.

Here's a list of the new features:

[2793283] Allow entry to override doubleclick setting.
[2793280] Browse+Autotype added to configurable double click actions.
[] Implement Virtual Keyboards for multilingual passphrase entry.
[] DragBar now has ToolTips to inform user of its use.
[] User can close the currently open database via the System Tray menu.

In addition, we've replace the 'New' icon set with icons based on
famfamfam's silk set, and reworked the Add and Edit dialogs into Property
Pages, which should be a bit less confusing for the casual user.

Note that the help files and non-English support have NOT been fully updated
in this version.

Please let us know what you think of the new release, either via the forums
(https://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=41019) or by writing me directly
(https://sourceforge.net/sendmessage.php?touser=370700).

Re: [Passwordsafe-users] Autotype prompts

Hi,

The "tooltip" feature would be IMHO a good solution, because you can get the
help needed at the place where you want it.

Kind regards

David,

What I would prefer is to add a question mark bitmap next to or near the
Autotype field (if there is room) and, whenever the mouse is over it,
display the information that Karlo has put in his mail below.  We have too
many extra popup dialogs.

This feature is a bit like a tooltip - but always there (whilst the mouse is
over the image).  We use something similar to display the first ~200
characters of an entry's Notes field (subject to a preference - see
Manage->Options->Display) - although this only shows for a shorter time.

I'll look to add this for 3.18 unless anyone objects.

Regards,

David

Another option would be a pop-up, which would in principle take less 
space and is extensible when new substitutions are added.

While the dialog is quite long, it's also quite narrow, so I'm sure 
there is scope for adding more here if needed.

Re: [Passwordsafe-users] Autotype prompts

[dk <dk...@gm...>]

David,

What I would prefer is to add a question mark bitmap next to or near the
Autotype field (if there is room) and, whenever the mouse is over it,
display the information that Karlo has put in his mail below.  We have too
many extra popup dialogs.

This feature is a bit like a tooltip - but always there (whilst the mouse is
over the image).  We use something similar to display the first ~200
characters of an entry's Notes field (subject to a preference - see
Manage->Options->Display) - although this only shows for a shorter time.

I'll look to add this for 3.18 unless anyone objects.

Regards,

David

Another option would be a pop-up, which would in principle take less

While the dialog is quite long, it's also quite narrow, so I'm sure 
there is scope for adding more here if needed.

Re: [Passwordsafe-users] "Unable to load DLL"

[dk <dk...@gm...>]

Dave,

I click on the dll link in Rony's email and my default browser (Firefox)
then downloads it with no problem? It does have a problem with the msi link.
However, no problem with the msi link if I use Internet Explorer (7) (copy
link and paste into address bar).

'fraid neither of those are recognised as downloads - they just get 
binary gibberish in the browser, or if I use curl to download (the msi) 
it says it isn't a msi file when I try to run it.

Re: [Passwordsafe-users] Autotype prompts

[dk <dk...@gm...>]

I would be against adding more buttons to the Edit dialog.  There is no room
and it would make the dialog very cluttered for little benefit.

The reason for the "Unknown Fields" is to warn the user that they have
opened a database with an older version of Password Safe which doesn't know
about some fields.  For example, versions prior to 3.17 would not know how
to deal or display the new Run Command field.  They would maintain it
unmodified but cannot display what they don't know.

I suppose the tooltip could be expanded to show these, but as Karlo
indicated, there are quite a few.

Hi,

Nice idea.

These are all possible values for the autotype
  \u is replaced by the username associated with the entry.
  \p is replaced by the password associated with the entry.
  \g is replaced by the group associated with the entry.
  \i is replaced by the title associated with the entry.
  \o is replaced by the contents of the (possibly multilined) Notes field.
  \r end of line character
  \oNNN is replaced by the contents of the n.th line of the Notes field
  \b is replaced by the backspace key.
  \t is replaced by the Tab key, in effect skipping a field.
  \n is replaced by the enter key, in effect pressing a button.
  \\ is replaced by the backslash (\) key.
  \dNNN sets the delay between characters to NNN milliseconds, 10 is default

These are 12 possibilities in total.
Do we need them all?

To the right of the edit field for autotype there is a (normally hidden)
field "Number of unknown fields:", so we would have to put those (max.) 12
buttons somewhere else (below the autotype edit field?)

In the manage => options => misc menu there is also the default autotyope
field!

Kind regards
Karlo

Re: [Passwordsafe-users] "Unable to load DLL"

[ronys <ro...@gm...>]

Hi David,

The dll in question was added in release 3.17:
pws_at.dll
It should be in the same directory as the pwsafe.exe executable.
The dll is installed automatically be the installer, and is in the zip file.
Hmm - could it be that you used the .msi file to upgrade? It seems that I
forgot to add the dll to that build :-(

In any case, you can download a new msi file with this fixed from
http://pwsafe.org/tmp/pwsafe-3.17.1.msi
or just the dll from
http://pwsafe.org/tmp/pws_at.dll

Thanks!

[Passwordsafe-users] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.17

[ronys <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the release of PasswordSafe version 3.17. This release
has a couple of nice new features, as described below, some bug fixes, as
well as support for German (full), Russian (full), Chinese (full), Polish
(partial), Spanish (partial) and Swedish (partial). If you're interested in
supporting your language, please let me know. Thanks to Karlo, Andrey,
Freedoctor and Bjorn for their translation efforts! Thanks to DK for his
work and patience, and thanks to the beta testers who've provided great
feedback on pre-release versions.

New Features for 3.17

[1954166] New preference to control word wrap in the Notes field in Add &
Edit. This can be overridden for a specific entry by right-clicking in the
Notes field.
[1533621, 1722481] There's a new, "Browse+" action that combines browsing to
an entry's URL and entering the username, password, etc. in a single
operation. Note that this does not work (yet) for all browsers and all
sites.
[1405326] Add new field 'Run Command' to allow arbitrary commands, such as
terminal emulators, etc. to be executed via Ctrl+R or from the Edit menu.
[] Implement "Find Up" via clicking Find toolbar button with Shift key down
or pressing 'Shift+F3' for repeat find up.
[] Allow users to set their own shortcut keys for menu items. Select via
Manage->Options->Shortcuts.

Bugs fixed in 3.17

[2750090] Using SaveAs now unlocks original database on successful
completion of the save.
[2689144] PWS no longer goes into a loop if the main menu has not yet been
displayed when accessing the recent entries via the system tray icon.
[2664657] Installer now prompts for elevation to administrator rights on
Windows Vista.
[2664703] Load base locale DLL if can't find a specific sub-locale version.
[2657132] View Reports no longer causes application crash.
[] Correct DragBar bitmaps for a new database.
[2599930] All fields, buttons, checknoxes that could change an entry's data
are disabled if the database is in read-only mode.
Lock on Windows Lock works again.
[] Ctrl+F sets focus to the find string edit box.
[] No longers asks for confirmation of Cancel during Edit in read only mode
as that is the only option available to the user.
[] Right-click context menu now correct when user hides toolbars.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.17

[] When doing a Browse to URL, the password of the current entry is copied
to the clipboard. This is action is not performed if the Browse is invoked
from the Edit dialog box.
[] Shortcut 'Ctrl+B' (Manage Menu->Backup) has been removed. Shortcut
'Ctrl+R' (Manage Menu->Restore) has been re-assigned to the new "Run
Command" function.

The U3 version will be available soon from

Re: [Passwordsafe-users] Announcing PasswordSafe 3.17 BETA2

[ronys <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is to announce the second BETA release of version 3.17 of PasswordSafe
(the first release was announced only to the passwordsafe-users and
passwordsafe-devel mailing lists - apologies to folks who get this
announcement in duplicate). This release differs from the first beta in that
a few bugs have been fixed, and the Add and Edit dialog boxes have been
changed.

The new features in this version are a bit more complex than the last few
releases, so we've decided to release it gradually, depending on your
feedback. Also, we've prepared a short (6 question) user survey, and would
appreciate it if you could spend a couple of minutes and fill it out. The
survey is at:
http://p.sf.net/passwordsafe/3_17BetaSurvey

Here's a list of the new features:

[1533621, 1722481] There's a new, "Browse+" action that combines browsing to
an entry's URL and entering the username, password, etc. in a single
operation. Note that this is a new feature, and is known to have problems
with some sites and browsers.
[1405326] Add new field 'Run Command' to allow arbitrary commands, such as
terminal emulators, etc. to be executed via Ctrl+R or from the Edit menu. 
[] Allow users to set their own shortcut keys for menu items. Select via
Manage->Options->Shortcuts.
[1954166] New preference to word wrap the Notes field in Add & Edit. Also,
ability to override this and showing the notes by right-click context menu.
[] Implement "Find Up" via clicking Find toolbar button with Shift key down
or pressing 'Shift+F3' for repeat find up.

In addition, the Chinese, Russian and German translations of PasswordSafe
have been updated and bundled with the distribution.

The release may be downloaded from
http://pwsafe.org/tmp/pwsafe-3.17-beta2.exe (installer)
http://pwsafe.org/tmp/pwsafe-3.17-beta2-bin.zip (zip file with executable
and related files)

SHA-1 sums are:
0fe15b22b1afd1162523e0d8645ce8246bbf6a20 *pwsafe-3.17-beta2.exe
4bb48989d23bca3fe15bc4277d63296a84fa8deb *pwsafe-3.17-beta2-bin.zip

PGP signatures are available as well:

Hi Rony,

How did I miss that! Sorry to have wasted your time. Next time I will 
enable my eyes before invoking my fingers. :-)

Re: [Passwordsafe-users] PasswordSafe enhancement suggestion

[ronys <ro...@gm...>]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for writing.

If I understand you correctly, then recent versions of PasswordSafe have
the feature you're describing. Just click on the "Override Policy" checkbox
under the "Generate" button in the Add or Edit dialogs. This will invoke the
Password Policy dialog for the current entry.

Is this what you were looking for? If not, can you explain in more detail?

Cheers,

  Rony

Hi Rony,

A problem I occasionally encounter is that some un-enlightened 
organisations demand insecure passwords, namely upper and lower case 
only, perhaps sometimes with digits.

It would be helpful if PasswordSafe were to permit a variation on the 
password policy from within the Edit/Create password dialogue - 
obviously on a per password basis only. Presently one has to back out of 
the editing dialogue and change the entire policy via 
Manage>Options>Password Policy and then restore it after creating a new 
entry.

Just a thought.

Best wishes.

Peter HB
