Handy Password will solve all your problems with remembering passwords and will ease your work in internet as Handy Password will fill in all login-forms instead of you. Due to 128-bit encryption which is applied in Handy Password and in authorization system using Master Password you can be sure that nobody but you will be able to use your passwords.
What level of encryption does Handy Password manager use?
Handy Password uses 128-bit encryption utilizing the industry standard Blowfish symmetric algorithm to protect your confidential data. We offer you 128-bit encryption support, which is now the highest level of protection used in Internet communications. Secure your data and do not worry about unauthorized access any more.
About Blowfish encryption
Blowfish is a symmetric block cipher that can be used as a drop-in replacement for DES or IDEA. It takes a variable-length key, from 32 bits to 448 bits, making it ideal for both domestic and exportable use.
A cryptographic encryption algorithm, also known as cipher, transforms a "plain text" (e.g., human readable) pt and outputs cipher text ct as the output, ct = cipher(pt, key), so that it is possible to re-generate the pt from the ct through a companion decryption algorithm. Note that we said "for example, human readable" and not "that is, human readable" as an explanation for the phrase "plain text". In other words, the so-called "plain text" may be human un-readable binary data that is ready-to-use by a computer.
Ciphers use keys together with plain text as the input to produce cipher text. It is in the key that the security of a modern cipher lies, not in the details of the algorithm.
Roughly speaking, computationally infeasible means that a certain computation that we are talking about takes way too long (hundreds of years) to compute using the fastest of (super) computers.
Suppose our key is a 128-bit number. There are
340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456
128-bit numbers starting from zero (i.e., 128 bits of 0). To recover a particular key by brute force, one must, on average, search half the key space:
170,141,183,460,469,231,731,687,303715,884,105,728.
If we use 1,000,000,000 machines that could try 1,000,000,000 keys/sec, it would take all these machines longer than the universe as we know it has existed to find the key.
Where is personal information stored?
Handy Password is a Windows based program and always runs on your own PC. Your information is being stored in encrypted file on your own PC or network. Strong 128-bit encryption and a Master Password that you determine on first Handy Password is used to protect this file.
Who has access to personal information?
Only you have access to your information! Your Master Password protects your account details. Only this password can unlock your encrypted file. You should never give this password to anyone else and we recommend you to memorize it and do not keep any written copies of it.
What other security features are built into Handy Password manager?
There are many things that can be done to make a program secure. Any product claiming to be 'secure' because it uses very strong encryption may be misleading you. The security of a product is only as good as its weakest link, and the weakest link may not be the encryption. That's why there are various other features built into Handy Password manager to protect your information.
The 'Lock' and 'Auto Lock' facilities allow you to lock the program when you are away from your computer or after a specified number of idle minutes.
The 'In-Memory Encryption' which ensures that all your details are secure while residing in your computers memory (RAM). Handy Password uses strong encryption for all your details while they are being used in memory.
Finally, Handy Password does NOT use the Windows Clipboard to fill your logon details. Many other programs use the Paste function to simulate a user keying in their logon details - this is a good way of compromising your private information. Handy Password uses direct automation of Internet Explorer to fill all logon fields. This ensures your information is as safe as possible.
