Change Log

v 2.2 - 24 Nov 2016
   [Improved] Attempted passwords are now hidden by default, so others with you cannot see your mistyped password.
   [Improved] When saving attempted passwords, the password log file will only automatically open if you showed the passwords.
   [+] Support for multiple monitors
-------------------------------------------------------------------
v 2.1 - 4 Jul 2016
   [Fix] About button doesn't spawn multiple windows.
   [+] More resistant against termination by shutting down, logging off and restarting. (Vista and above only!)
   [+] Automatically unlock your computer by inserting a USB drive with the correct key on it.
       [BEWARE] This feature is meant for convenience and not a replacement for having to remember your password. Windows might fail to recognise your device.
   [+] ProTip: To remove USB key file, hold down Ctrl-key while clicking 'Create' button until you see the success message box.
   [+] ProTip: Lock your computer immediately by launching Mouse Lock with parameter '-lock'
       [BEWARE] Your computer will be locked with the hash in the config file. This could be a problem if the config file was tampered with! As usual, it's not recommended to save your password in the file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
v 2.0
   The whole program has been rewritten from scratch:
   [Improved] All interface is now improved for clarity. Go home, confusion!
   [Improved] All background scripts now use LESS resources. And less is good.
   [Improved] Advanced Settings are easier to access
   [Improved] Not necessary to enter your password three times
   [Improved] No 'passwords do not match' error! If your passwords match, the Lock button turns green.
   [Improved] killTskMgr now checks for "taskmgr.exe" as well as windows class "TaskManagerWindow"
   [Improved] Also records down the time when incorrect passwords were entered
   [Improved] Password attempts log file is saved with time in its file name
   [+] (ToolTip) Mouse hover over Advanced Settings for explanations
   [+] Password is not stored in memory or config file. We now do salting and SHA-256 hashing. Yummy. (Falls back to the useless SHA-1 if system doesn't support SHA-256, that's WinXP SP2 and below)
   [+] Check for updates
   [+] Save settings and password as a configuration file
       [BEWARE] of any unwanted tamperings to this file. If you save password, the number of digits is shown in the config file. You can manually open this file with Notepad and change "digits" to other number to hide your actual password length. Do not change anything else.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
