PasswordBox for DOS - keep your passwords secure!

Hi there!

Just wanted to make a little announcement here :-)
I always had troubles to keep track of all my PINs, passwords, logins, etc, and keeping them in a flat text file (like many people do) is really not a secure approach.

Today, I finished the first version of a new program: PasswordBox.

PasswordBox is a neat console (TUI) tool which can hold all passwords/logins and any other sensible data into an encrypted file, protected by a master password.
PasswordBox is available for Linux, Windows and (obviously!) DOS.

I hope it will be useful to other people, too. ;-)

CAUTION: This program features 128 bits AES encryption, which might be illegal in your country.

Best regards,

Me too. Especially when there is up to 50 random passwords.

For this purpose I have use pgp, less pager, text editor and small
batch file.

COOL :-)

Done in FreeBASIC.

OK, let's get hanged for it :-D BTW, Rijndael-256 would be better,
OTOH Rijndael-128 should be "sufficiently safe for now"

Wikipedia says:
"The design and strength of all key lengths of the AES algorithm (i.e., 128, 192 and 256) are sufficient to protect classified information up to the SECRET level. TOP SECRET information will require use of either the 192 or 256 key lengths."

128-bit key lenght sounds secure enough to me. ;-)
In fact, the AES library I'm using proposes only 128-bit, and I have no clue about extending it to 256... :-P

Igor picked Rijndael256 >5 years ago, but no big problem.
