APassMan
What's New?
There are now vrdeb packages of APassMan, which can be used with the
community agenda distribution available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/agenda-distro/.
I highly recommend using these packages. The vrdeb GUI is very easy to use, which makes
the entire installation process really painless. All you need to do is add the following URI
to your vrdeb repository list:
http://apassman.knowleshome.com/
Then, just update your package list, and install the apassman package along with the rest
of your software. Simple as that.
What is it?
This is the homepage of APassMan, a secure password manager for the Agenda
VR3 PDA ( Agenda Computing
). APassMan uses the FLTK
and FLPDA libraries, and is released under the GPL license. The user interface
was based on the screenshots of
Strip
, a password manager for the palmOne
platform.
What can it do?
APassMan can manage a list of usernames, passwords and comments ( as well
as the associated servers ) in an RC2 encrypted database. One master password
in required to open and view the database at the beginning of each session.
The following features are implemented at present:
* Size of database is limited only by the Agenda's RAM size.
* Accounts are arranged under servers / categories for fast and convenient
access.
* Includes a password generator for automatic random generation of passwords
for accounts.
( The password generator includes all the features of
APassGen
).
* Includes a find feature with options to search through any combination
of fields ( server names / account names / comments or passwords ).
* Every window includes a lock button to immediately lock the program (
save the database and quit ).
* All plaintext information is removed from RAM after the program terminates.
* Unencrypted information is never saved to disk / flash.
* File format is fully compatible with
gpasman
( A password manager for Gnome ), as well as
kpasman
( The KDE equivalent ).
* Two command-line conversion tools are provided to convert the encrypted
database to a rdb
file ( and visa-versa ).

Pruett )
What does it look like?
If your browser supports PNG
files, there is a page of screenshots available
here.
Where can I download it?
APassMan v0.1.3 can be downloaded in source form from the following location:
http://apassman.knowleshome.com/apassman-0.1.3.tar.gz
This version of APassMan includes a binary compiled for the newest 8.00 Kernel and 1.2.6 romdisk available from Agenda Computing. The older, "non-snow" binary is no longer included. The conversion programs are included in this source package.
You can also download the vrdeb package of the same version from the following location (Does not include the conversion programs):

The conversion programs are now also available in a seperate package, available from the following location:
