RE: [Passwordsafe-users] Decrypting .dat files

[Rony S. <ro...@gm...>]

Hi Philip,

In general, you're right, of course. The strength of the tool is only as
strong as the passphrase used to protect the data.

What Juergen may have had in mind was that a command-line tool may be =
used
to create a file with all the database entries decrypted. Such a file =
would
b a real security risk, since deleting the file by normal means still =
leaves
the data floating around on the disk if you know where to look. The
PasswordSafe application goes through some lengths to ensure that no =
more
data than is absolutely needed in a given moment is actually decrypted.

Hi,

The data file formats are documented in the files notes.txt and =
formatV2.txt
that are part of the source distribution.

RE: [Passwordsafe-users] Decrypting .dat files

[Nigel P. <ni...@ni...>]

Rony,

Thanks very much for that info, I think it will come in very handy.

In relation to the other comments, I agree that I don't see why a
command-line option should make it any more or less secure.

I have for some time tried to impress upon people the importance of
 choosing a strong combination pass phrase by referring to the following 
link which
comes complete with source code.  I have only tried it on v1 and it worked a
treat, essentially you supply a dictionary and it tries it against a
password safe.

Hi,

Indeed PasswordSafe does not support the command-line decryption of an
entire password database. Two points, though:

1. The source distribution contains a Perl script (pwsafe-decode.pl) =
that
can parse and decrypt 1.9 databases - it should be straightforward to =
modify
to support the 2.0 file format. If anyone does so, I'd be glad to =

it.

2. PasswordSafe can be used via command line to encrypt and decrypt
arbitrary files (NOT password databases). "Pwsafe -e foo.txt" will =
prompt
for a password, and use it to encrypt foo.txt into foo.txt.PSF. "Pwsafe =

file. This is an undocumented vestige of the original version.

Hope this helps,

I though the main component of security lies in the choice of key, not
in the specific algorithm.

After all, decrypting the database by starting pwsafe is also "easy"
if you have the right passphrase; I do not see why a command-line
decryption utility *that requires you to know the passphrase* is less
secure.

[Passwordsafe-users] Announcing PasswordSafe 2.06

[Rony S. <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

PasswordSafe 2.06 is available for download. This release has some nice
new features, and a few minor bug fixes:

Bugs fixed in 2.06:

[1026630] Autotype now works correctly when "lock database on minimize"
active.
[1028394] Export to text function works again.
[1003780, 1026335] Autotype support for AltGr
[1039214, 992178] PasswordSafe can now be configured to ignore the Esc
key or to exit when it is pressed (Manage->Options->Misc).

New Features for 2.06:

[958343] PasswordSafe can now be configured to lock automatically after
a predefined idle time.
[998966] In an "autotype" string, \d followed by up to 3 digits will
cause the program to pause that many milliseconds between characters
from that moment onwards.
[1032149] Adding an entry with a group or item selected will fill the
Group field with that currently selected (previously, this only worked
on right-click on group item).

[Passwordsafe-users] Autotype, Alt keys and the German Keyboard

[Dave C. <The...@us...>]

All,
	I'm trying to resolve a couple of bugs in the autotype code that relate
to how it handles not US/english keyboard.  Most particular German
keyboards.

I would like to get this fixed and tested but don't have access to a
German keyboard.

So if anybody with a German, or other countries, keyboard could help out
with a quick test.

I have enclosed a TEST, I repeat TEST, version of Password Safe which
will hopefully address these bugs.

Thanks

editing an exiting entry, adding an entry, etc.
[992178] ESC no longer exits the application.
[998745, 1003780] Autotype feature now works for non-US keyboards
[987618] The group field of an entry is now also taken into account when
checking for uniqueness.

New Features for 2.05:

[Passwordsafe-users] Problem and workaround with PasswordSafe 2.04

[Rony S. <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

The latest version of PasswordSafe, 2.04, has a new feature, "lock on
workstation lock", that causes problems with unsaved data changes in the
database.

Specifically, if you change (modify, add or delete entries) the
database, and the program "locks" before you saved your changes, the
changes will be lost. In the worst case, if you save without unlocking
the database, the *entire* database will be lost.

Until we fix this (in the next release), the workaround is simple:

If you use the "lock database on workstation lock" (enabled by default),
then enable Manage->Options->Misc->Save database immediately after Edit
or Add.

Thanks to the users who've reported this.

	Cheers,

		Rony

You can move focus to the tray by pressing
Win+B         (WinXP) or
Win, Tab, Tab (one after another)
"Win" is a Windows key (between Ctrl and Alt).
Then use arrows, Enter or App key (between Win and Ctrl on the right side,
for menu).

Global hot key may present, but there should be a possibility to disable it.
If all applications will have hot keys, keyboard may be dangerous :)

[Passwordsafe-users] RE: Global Hot Key

[Mike G. <Mi...@Ga...>]

I've always used a hot key to instantly bring up PWS, but rather than rely
on each program to institute its own hot key, I rely on a utility called
WinKey that allows you to configure which hot key you want to invoke which
program.  It uses the Windows Logo key in combination with any other key(s)
as shortcuts for pretty much any command line you could type.

You can even add calling arguments.  For example I use Win+P to bring up my
personal password collection, but I use Win+Ctrl+P to open my workplace
passwords.

WinKey is a free download that can be found at:

Subject: [Passwordsafe-users] Global Hot Key

All,
    I have been testing the new \d delay in the autotype on my laptop.

    Its finally got to me. I'm sick of using the touch pad to get PWS 
back from the system tray.

    I would like a global hot key to bring PWS to the foreground.

    Do people what this? (I thought I had seen a feature request but 
could not find it)
    Should it be completely configurable?
    What default should we have (control, alt, 'p)?
    Do you what it fitted nasally?

Dave

[Passwordsafe-users] Announcing PasswordSafe 2.04

[Rony S. <ro...@gm...>]

Hi,

PasswordSafe 2.04 is available for download. This release has some nice
new features, and a few minor bug fixes:

Bugs fixed in 2.04:
===================
[970036] 24 bit displays now display toolbar correctly
[971114] Switch to list view now works with new toolbar (silly typo in
2.03)
[972460] Master password is no longer kept in memory in the clear
[899400, 899414] Drag & drop is now accurate
[864828] Icon should now be visible in taskbar on all versions of
Windows and all color schemes.
[992073] Double clicking a group icon now does the right thing, i.e.,
nothing
[899412] Editing group names is now easier: Can now be invoked via F2
and right-click, finished by Enter, and cancelled by Escape.
[871471] Key shortcuts for Yes/No added to several dialog boxes.
[986874] "Ooops" message no longer appears upon invoking Browse to URL
[unreported] PasswordSafe now compiles cleanly under Visual Studio .NET
as well a Visual Studio 6.0

New Features for 2.04:
======================
[851563, 654677] Minimize to System Tray now supported. This is a
configurable feature, active by default. Clearing the checkbox in
Manage->Options->Display will restore the old behaviour.
[986345] The popup menu for entries now displays the more frequently
used operations (copy username & password) first.
[unreported] There's a new "lock on workstation lock" option in
Manage->Options->Security
[969038] Autotype feature added: This is a really nice feature that
pastes the selected entry's information (by default, username, tab,
password, tab, enter) to the current browser field. See the online help
for more details (See Autotype under "PasswordSafe Overview").
[978070] Search (Find) function is now better documented.

Richard,

I found a way around that.  When you launch the application, you can
select the first entry by pressing the down arrow.

I tried to send this e-mail to the list, but it was rejected with a "550
sender verify failed" error.  But I figured you at least would want to
know the workaround.

Has anyone asked for the following enhancement: on opening, put the
focus in
the main window (or even select the first entry)?
Right now, user has to take her hand of the keyboard, mess around with
the
mouse to click somewhere in the window of entries, and only then can she
start typing a letter to scroll to entries that begin with that letter.

Thanks,

[Passwordsafe-users] starting passwordsafe with dat-file disapeared

[Schreck, J. <jue...@si...>]

Hi,

I just tried the version 2.0pre2. It worked fine so far, but as I moved =
the
whole stuff including the dat-file into another subdirectory, I got a
message that the '<path>\mySave.dat' cannot be found, and had to enter =
a
password for a new database to get the progy work. In this dialog box =
there
was no possibility to open an other existing database file. After =
starting
with a new database file I was able to open the moved old dat-file via =
the
File->Open menu.
In version 1.9 in the case mentioned above I got a dialog box where I =
could
open an existing database file as well as creating a new file. This =
seems to
me a more useful way to start. Is the behavior of 2.0pre2 described =
above a
bug or a feature?

Regards,

J=FCrgen Schreck
