This program was developed by a "garage programmer". And I can't
say I have found anything else that compares. It is easy to set keystrokes to
transfer your usernames and passwords to your browser windows. You can have this
little gizmo make up passwords for you. And you don't have to jump around
windows to get the info where you need it, like no go to pw keeper and copy
username go to browser and paste go back to pw keeper and copy password and go
back to browser and paste.
The install was quick and the program is very small. You can have your file
stored anywhere you can save files, USB drive, SD card etc. You can also rename
your pw file anything you like provided you keep the extension the same. Your
file itself can be password protected. Oubliette also allows for printing of
your list of accounts or exporting. I found the export feature nice to have I
lock a hard copy of my secure info away in a safe. Just in case. And that means
no more hand jotted notes on scraps of paper to keep track of my account access
information.
This app beat out a few others I have tried out. Even some that you have to pay
for. There was one bug that was not very hard to live with. If you have more
than one browser window open the program sometimes will not know which window
you are trying to send the user/pw to. So you may have to manually go to the
record. But that doesn't happen often and it is because of the convenient
keystroke feature that I would rather keep than loose.
The programmer is aware of his users, his web page seems to cover all support
needed. There are extensive programming notes, bug lists and fixes and detailed
instructions.
Note: For Windows 95 and 98, you may need to install version 4.01 of Microsoft
common controls, if it is not yet present on your system.
