Features:

This software is intended to store all of your passwords and other private information. It is specifically designed to store (name, password) pairs which are similar to what most people use to access websites. The program grew out of my own needs -- having literally hundreds of passwords and needing a place to store them all. This software uses cryptography to ensure that the passwords are protected on disk, so an attacker cannot find them.

The cryptography is the standard AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm, not some half-assed home brewed solution. It is industrial strength encryption that will keep your passwords safe.

Now, you might ask yourself -- why keep your passwords in a password manager like ePassBook -- why not just keep then in a file on your disk? Well, there are several reasons:

• Security -- your passwords are valuable and you should absolutely store them in some kind of an encrypted location. The world is full of viruses and trojans, adware and spyware, and other malware that could conceivably let an attacker into your system. If your passwords are sitting in a plaintext file, you are vulnerable.
• Management -- A password manager has an easy to use interface that lets you manage and keep track of your passwords. You can organize them. You can edit and delete them. You can sort and search and browse.
• Ease of Use - ePassbook can be configured to sit in the system tray and/or can be loaded on windows startup. That means your passwords can be just one click away when you need them.
