FAQ


How secure is Keyring?

Reasonably so.

It currently stores data on flash using blowfish encryption. I have not verified that my use nor implementation of blowfish is correct. (The implementation is available for public use from Counterpane Security.) Unfortunately data is unprotected while the application is running, and for a short time thereafter.  

Can I change my password?

Yes!! This is relatively new feature, so use it with caution.

What other features are you planning on adding?

I might add support for secure password recover, depending upon demand.  If you have a feature you would really like to see implemented drop me an email and I will consider it.

What happens if the database becomes corrupted?

Unfortunately there is currently no way to recover a corrupted database. You should backup
your database of passwords often.

Where is the database stored?

On my Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 the database is stored in /home/root/Applications/keyring and
is called pwd.db.
