[Passwordsafe-users] Announcing MyPasswordSafe - a Linux PasswordSafe-compatible application

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

Hi,

Nolan Eakins has written a Linux version of PasswordSafe!

This port, called MyPasswordSafe, is compatible with pre-2.0 database
files created by the Windows version. MyPasswordSafe is built upon Qt 3.
For details and links to the source and binaries, see
http://www.semanticgap.com/myps/.

Note that I have not reviewed MyPasswordSafe's code in depth, nor have I
tried to run the program. Specifically, I've no idea if MyPasswordSafe
is as (in)secure as PasswordSafe is or not. Note also that this is a
first release, and that Nolan is actively developing the program. For
the time being, we have decided not to merge Nolan's code into the
PasswordSafe codebase on SourceForge. I'd like to thank Nolan for his
effort, and for making his work available in both source and binary
form. This is OpenSource development at its best!

	Cheers,

		Rony

Password Safe 2.0pre2 Release Note - January 2004
=================================================

This note describe the new features, fixed bugs and known problems
with Password Safe version 2.0pre2. For a short description of Password
Safe, please see the accompanying README.txt file. For more
information on the product and the project, please visit
http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net

This is the second BETA release of version 2.0 of PasswordSafe. While
much effort has been put into assuring the stability of the program
and the integrity of the data, it cannot be considered "production
quality" yet, and therefore should not be used except for evaluating
the new features and providing input as to bugs, feature requests, etc.

New Features for 2.0pre2:
=========================
[RFE 504086] It is now possible to export the password database into a
plain ASCII file. Fields are separated by a tab character. Note that
this is a VERY large security if used carelessly.

New Features for 2.0pre1:
=========================
[RFE 782508, 829563, 815350, 555440] Tree, or heirarchical, view of
entries now supported. This allows the user to define categories,
sub-categories, etc.

Bugs Fixed in 2.0pre2:
======================

[859798, 859565] Debug libraries are no longer required.

- Export to v1.7 format fixed.

Known Problems:
===============
- The Help file is outdated for this release.

- The Search facility is broken.

- The default user name facility is broken.

[Passwordsafe-users] PasswordSafe 2.0pre1-BETA released

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

Hi,

This is the first public release of Passwordsafe 2.0. Some features are
missing, and there are some annoying GUI issues, but the program is
stable, and it seems good enough to start getting feedback from users
asides myself...

THIS IS NOT YET READY FOR GENERAL USE. Please download and use this
program only if your are interested in seeing the new features, and
would like to help the development process by reporting bugs, desired
features, etc. (or, of course, coding).

Two major new features in this release: A new database format, and a new
tree view. The former should be invisible to users, the latter quite
useful.

The application imports old database files transparently, and warns the
user upon saving that the new format is incompatible. PLEASE SAVE YOUR
DATABASE UNDER A NEW NAME. This way, the stable (1.9x) passwordsafe will
still be able to access your data if something goes wrong.

Please write me if you find problems with this release. A small sample
database and description of how to recreate the problem is the best way
to report bugs.

Files are downloadable from

[Passwordsafe-users] PasswordSafe 1.92c.2 for PocketPC is available for download

[<ro...@ho...>]

Hi,

Release 1.92c.2 is available for download. This is a maintenance release for
PocketPC (WinCE) versions of PasswordSafe, fixing the following:

Bugfix [818692] PPC: notes not fully visible:
Added horizontal and vertical scroll bars to the notes field in both the Add
and Edit dialogs to allow easy scrolling through the data.

This fix raises an additional known problem in that entering data into the
notes field is difficult because the field is partially obscured by the SIP.

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

Hi,

Release 1.92c.1 is available for download. This is a maintenance release for
PocketPC (WinCE) versions of PasswordSafe, fixing the following:

Bugfix [787325] Endianness of the MIPS processor was wrong.

Bugfix [791417] [792555] Passwords were saved by the Pocket PC autocomplete
feature

Bugfix [791423] Multiline notes were displayed incorrectly in the edit
dialog

In addition, the following new feature has been added:

There is a new check box option ("Double-click shows password") in

[Passwordsafe-users] PasswordSafe 1.92c available for download

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

Hi,

Release 1.92c is available for download. This is a maintenance release,
fixing a few minor annoyances:

Bugfix [783314] Clearing the clipboard now properly trashes the password in
process memory, as well as emptying the clipboard.

Bugfix [760656] Passing a filename that contains spaces via the command line
now works correctly. Previously, the quotation marks confused PasswordSafe.

Bugfix [777367] The Edit/View Item dialog box's Help button now works
correctly.

RFE [772212] Pressing Cancel when prompted for the password when
unminimizing the application no longer exits the program. (Would happen only
if "Lock password database on minimize" is set)

Bugfix [769820] Pressing Cancel in the Clear Clipboard dialog box will now
prevent the passowrd from being copied to the clipboard. Previously, it was
equivalent to pressing OK. (Would happen only if "Confirm item copy to
clipboard" was selected)

RFE [768870] Added a manifest file for native Windows XP theme support.

RFE [754790] The option "Clear the clipboard when minimized" has been
changed to "Clear clipboard upon minimize or exit". Previously, the
clipboard was unconditionally cleared upon exit. This allows the user to
change the behaviour.

The PocketPC release incorporates the fixes of the Windows release. In
addition, the endianness of devices built around the SH3 CPU is now correct.


Thanks to Gregg and Karlo for their work fixing the bugs, and to Kevin for
building the PocketPC versions.

RE: [Passwordsafe-users] Some help please

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

Hi Dr. Weis,

Thanks for pointing out the bug. I assume you meant the "pencil" or Edit
button, which opens an entry for viewing or editing. The "+" button adds a
new entry.

This will be fixed in a future release. In the meantime, there's a
workaround you can use in 1.92b:

In Manage->Options... choose the Misc tab, and check the "Save database
immediately after Edit or Add". This will prevent the "save changes" dialog
box from appearing upon exit.

	Cheers,

		Rony

[Passwordsafe-users] Some help please

[Alexander W. <al...@ac...>]

Hi there,
I'm a completely satisfied Password Safe user.
I used version 1.7 for a long time.
I downloaded the1.92b version today.
I dowloaded the new version because of an annoyance I've had
with version 1.7, hoping it was a bug in the program.
The problem appears also in the new version:

When I click on the + button to view an entry in
my database file and then click OK to close the
window and than I close the main window, I'm
asked to Save the changes I made. The program
closes properly if I click the No buton or the
OK button. Since I've made no changes to the
database, the database file is not changed.
I admit that this is a small annoyance but maybe
it can be fixed somehow.
I'm using Windows ME.

Thanks in advace,

Dr. A Weis

AW: [Passwordsafe-users] EXPERIMENTAL release 1.9.2-DK available for download

[Van d. G. K. I. CP RD VD 2 <kar...@si...>]

Hi,

I'm using (and a lot of collegues also) PWsafe extensively.
In different versions, on different PC's, as people are used to. BUT, the the Passwordsafe database stayed always the same (since 1.7.0, afaik).
Getting incompatible is not such a good idea!

Is there perhaps some way of having the new feature (3 passwords) AND keeping the old passwordstructure for the database.
It would be a great help in introducing this new feature while maintaining compatibility!
You could make the 3 Password-feature easily with the actual version by editing the title e.g XXXXX-1 with PW-1, XXXXX-2 with PW-2 and XXXXX-3 with PW-3.

regards
Karlo Van der Gucht

Betreff: [Passwordsafe-users] EXPERIMENTAL release 1.9.2-DK available for download


Hi,

This is to announce the release of version 1.92-DK, an experimental version.
We've made this release available in order to gather input from the user
community regarding a feature being debated by the developers.

This version supports up to three passwords per entry, each one may be
copied to the clipboard separately. The motivation for this feature is a
banking website used by the author which requires this.

The development team will support this version, in the sense of responding
to minor bugs. However, the multiple password feature will either be
incorporated into release 2.0, or silently dropped.

This version will read existing passwordsafe databases. However, databases
created (or saved) by this version CANNOT be read by other versions of
PasswordSafe.

So, if you decide to use this version, please drop the developers
(mailto:pas...@li...) a note on your thought
regarding this feature.

Thanks to David Kelvin for his work on this.

RE: [Passwordsafe-users] Can anybody answer this?

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

MessageEelco,

Do you have the passwordsafe button in the taskbar after you entered the
password, or does the application just exit after the password is entered?

Do you know how to use the "regedit" utility? If so, please look at the

My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Counterpane Systems\Password Safe

key, and write me the data for the top, bottom, left and right subkeys. My
guess is that these got "garbage" values somehow, causing the main window to
be "displayed" off-screen.

  Hi Rony.

  Thanks for writing.

  I started using PasswordSafe since version 1.92. The problem is that I can
log in, but then I don't get to see the list with username/passwords.

      PasswordSafe gives me a clear message when I log in with a wrong
password.
      It is possible to create a new db, but I again can't see the actual
program with username/password combinations.
      I can't find any logging with errors what soever.

  Maybe I should try to open the program from a different computer?

      I tried upgrading to the latest version, I tried looking in the WinXP

  I tried upgrading to the latest version, I tried looking in the WinXP log
files, but nothing shows up.

  I don't know how to debug a C++ app.

  Does somebody know what the problem might be?

  Thanks in advance.

  I asked a question about not being able to get PasswordSafe to popup the

MessageHi Eelco!

Can you tell us a bit more about how this happened? What was the previous
version of password safe that you were using? (There might be a problem with
databases created with versions older than 1.7) Can you create a new
database and open it correctly?

[Passwordsafe-users] PasswordSafe 1.92a available for download

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

Hi,

Release 1.92a is available for download. This is a maintenance release,
fixing an old bug regarding multilingual support, and a problem with
persistence of the "Show password in display list" option.

Thanks to Gregg for fixing the multilingual issue, and to Alex Fung for
testing the fix on his machine.

You should probably upgrade only if you need to have these issues addressed.
No other features have been added.

[Passwordsafe-users] PasswordSafe 1.92 available for download

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

Hi,

This release has some nice new features:

[736391] Whan a new master passphrase ("Safe Combination") is defined, the
user is warned if it is cryptographically weak.

[732609] The Options dialog box has been tabified, hopefully making it less
intimidating for non-technical users.

[505540] It is now possible to change the default length of generated
passwords.

[541928] It is now possible to specify the "Password Policy" via the Options
dialog box, i.e., only uppercase, with/without digits, etc.

Also, the annoying "permanently minimized if closed while minimized." bug
has been fixed.

The md5sums of the packages are:

8b2e6e6588c4e14c8174f6f311c8c75b pwsafe-1.9.2-bin.zip

Credits:

In addition to the usual suspects
(https://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=41019), Karel
(Karlo) Van der Gucht contributed some GUI improvements and work on the
password policies.

[Passwordsafe-users] BETA release of 1.91 available for download

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

Hi,

This is to announce the availabilty of a new and (hopefully) improved
version of Passwordsafe.

The version is 1.91, and it's currently a beta release. We hope to make it
non-beta in a couple of weeks, based on the feedback we receive from users.

I've managed to mess up the release name - In the File List section of the
project's web pages it's listed as 1.9.1a, whereas the downloadable zip
files are named -1.91-. My apologies for the confusion - I promise to
improve in future releases...

In any case, the md5 checksums of the packages are:

2bc437b1e09f30a0985b747794d74ea7 pwsafe-1.91-bin.zip
0291cb5fdfb5f0ff3675e1d623ddb06b pwsafe-1.91-src.zip

It's been fun getting this release together. Thanks to all the developers
who pitched in: Andrew Mullican, Edward Quackenbush, Gregg Conklin, and
Graham Ullrich.

	Enjoy,

		Rony

RE: [Passwordsafe-users] "out of memory" error!

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

Hi Karel,

That was my first thought too: I was thinking of diving into the code with a
debugger and manually changing the allocation to the correct value.

On second thought, however, if the length decrypts to garbage, chances are
that the whole file is corrupt.

Anyway, reading the length and allocating accordingly is done in _readcbc()
in Util.cpp:

   unsigned char* wholething = new unsigned char[BlockLength];

Subject: AW: [Passwordsafe-users] "out of memory" error!


Hi,

This is Karel Van der Gucht
Is there any chance to limit the amount of memory allocated (e.g. twice the
amount of the file), to get a chance of loading and "resaving" the .dat
file, if the calculated amount of memory is out of reasonable scale?
This could help Hua in restoring his .dat file

We are using a version 1.9.4 (derived from 1.9.0, with an enhanced password
generating feature).

Hua:	I did send you the file 1.9.4, so you can test if this one is working.
	BUT: I'm pretty shure it won't, because I didn't change anything about
reading and storing files.
	After all, lets give it a try.

Rony:	do you know the area in the code of pwsafe where this allocation is
done, so I could give it a try on my suggestion.

mit freundlichen Grüßen, kind regards
Karlo Van der Gucht

Ah, that's better!

It indeed seems that the file in question got corrupted. Here's why: One of
the first things that's encrypted in the file is the length of the actual
data. This is read and decrypted, and memory is allocated accordingly. If
this is somehow corrupted, then a HUGE amount of memory is (trying to be)
allocated.

Hi Rony,

Thanks for your response.

Here are my answers for your questions:
1. version 1.7
2. everytime for that particular file.
3. 1KB
4. only that particular file, other files are fine.
5. only 3 entries.
6. I am using Window 2K Pro, 512MB ram. I have other large applications but
are fine.

My guess is that particular file might get somehow corrupted. But I donot
know how.
I appreciate your help on this.

Best Regards,
Will

[Hua W. L. <hl...@tr...>]

Thanks for your info Rony,

I am just wondering how can I restore this corrupted file? I did not backup
this file.

Does version 1.9 or above solve this problem.

The strange thing is that only this particular dat file got corrupted
whereas the rest are fine.
Do you know what might the causes are that corrupt the dat file? Thanks.

Best Regards,
Will
