- Welcome to
- Passwords v1.02
-
- Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Passwords is basically a simple macro type program I wrote to make my
- own life easier. It provides a desktop window containing thirty
- site icons, each of which can be linked to an ID and a Password.
-
- Clicking on the large button with the site name on it, sends the
- associated ID to the current active icon or application. Clicking on
- the smaller button next to it enters the site Password.
-
- It eliminates errors from typing passwords at websites and removes the
- need to keep checking the passwords from a file or scrap of paper.
-
-
- Passwords etc are held in a text file within the Resources directory.
- This can be accessed, for altering or adding entries, from the iconbar
- menu. Click the Menu button over the Icon and select 'Edit Entries'.
- Site names are limited to twenty characters maximum, but ID's and
- Passwords can be upto 256 characters long.
-
- Entries take the form:
-
- Description,ID,Password<RETURN>
-
- eg: My Secret Site,gerbilpaws,dhftTF56T
-
- IF a site requites just a password or ID you must substitute a blank
- space or someother item.
-
- eg: My Secret Site,*,fredhgyt
-
- I've made no attempt to hide or encrypt the passwords since if they are
- going to be entered into an icon the user is going to see them anyway.
-
-
- Using Passwords
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You really want to read this?
-
- 1. Load !Passwords
- 2. A window opens on the screen containing ten icon buttons.
- 3. All icons containing text are in use. Blank ones wont do anything.
- 4. Put the text caret in the icon or window to which you want to send
- the password.
- 5. Click on the button you want to use.
-
-
-
- Adding Passwords
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 1. Load !Passwords.
-
- 2. Click MENU over the iconbar icon, then click SELECT over Edit
- Entries.
-
- 3. Solong as you have a text editor loaded a window will open
- containing all the currently sroted descriptions and passwords.
-
- 4.Add a new one following the format.. 'description,password'
- with each line terminated by a <RETURN>.
-
- 5. Save the file.
-
-
-
- That's just about it. No clever functions, just a quick way to enter
- passwords.
-
-
- Bugs etc
- ~~~~~~~~
-
- I'm no expert programmer so don't be surprised if you look at the code
- and think it was written by a gerbil with a wooden leg. Passwords was
- created purely to solve a problem I had, so there is almost bound to
- be considerable room to improve the code :)
-
- Tested on a StrongArm RiscPC. A5000 and an A4000 - no idea what it does on anything else.
