I put together this quick program since most of the time I'm coding and ppl complain that I ignore them. I don't know if I'll be using it since I like concentrating on code but I hope some will find it useful. I also needed a password manager that was easy enough to use, wouldn't get in the way while I was working and in general behaved the way I wanted it. So instead of compiling a new program I added all the password manager functions to the old telegrams notification utility. TelePass is a program that will popup a window or trigger a sound when you have an incoming telegram in AW. Name any sound you want telegram.wav and place it in the program's directory. Additionally it features a convenient password manager. Passwords are protected with the blowfish algorithms, pretty secure at least vs. the average cracker. Note that *nothing* is 100% secure, use caution whenever passwords are involved. The program is as easy to use as it gets. When you run the executable the program hides itself to the system tray. Click on the icon for the different options. When you first select Password Keeper you are prompted to enter the main password. Do not forget that one, if you do only I can retrieve the main password (if you send me al.enc) and even that is a bad idea. *No one* should ever see *any* of your passwords. Anyway FYI main password is stored in al.enc, all your other passwords are stored in alc.enc. After you set the password you can start importing the data you want to protect. All functions are accessed with a simple right click on the Password Keeper listview. For security reasons avoid leaving passwords in the clipboard, right click and select Clear clipboard when you are done with the password pasting. Most recent addition and perhaps one of the most useful features is Sent Telegrams logging. There is a catch on this feature. The program will log anything that is typed in the telegram window when it's closed which means it will log canceled telegrams too. In the future I'll make that user defined (decide if you want canceled telegrams to be logged) but at the moment I prefer this than just logging Sent Telegrams. Here's a scenario that happens to me very often. Someone asks a question that requires a very long answer. While you type he grams you again. Now what? Ctrl+X (cut), read the gram, Ctrl+V (paste) and continue typing? Nope, just cancel the gram and copy it from the log if needed.
