Description:

With PwManager you can easily manage your passwords.
PwManager saves your passwords blowfish-encrypted in one file, so you have to remember only one master-password instead of all. Instead of the master-password you can use a chipcard, so you don't have to remember a password to access the list.
PwManager has a KWallet emulation layer, available on systems with KDE-3.2 and above.




Changelog:

ChangeLog:
# fix crashes caused by stack corruption on document saving.

 What about KWallet?

Why don't just use KWallet that comes with KDE 3.2?

This app has been around longer than a usable KDE 3.2 release, and some individuals may not want to make the upgrade to 3.2 until it has proven to be stable.

Because PwManager has been there before KWallet and because KWallet lacks many features of PwManager.
PwManager implements a KWallet import interface and the next release will also implement a KWallet export interface. So, it's designed to co-exist with KWallet.

I like KWallet, because it's a great app and because it's usable. But I develop PwManager, because it implements things that KWallet will never implement. :)

So, if you're happy while using KWallet, there's no point for installing PwManager. But it you depend on things KWallet does not (and will never) implement, then you may try PwManager.

have a nice day.

Also because KWallet is too picky about when it want to actually enter in my information. It seems to have a mind of its own and only does what it is supposed to every now and then. PwManager actually works, which is one more feature I am waiting for from kwallet.

I like PWManager. I can control when and where it accesses my passwords, I can copy the password file to CD so to restore after a clean install, it uses blowfish encryption, no other package on my computer can access my passwords - this is a HUGE plus.

I don't know anything about KWallet, except that I cannot find a way to control which apps access my passwords and when they can have access (how many people actually sit down and read the code before installing an app?), I don't know how to restore passwords after a clean install, I don't know how secure KWallet's encryption algorythm is.


PWManager is much better, IMHO.

You may disable the "KWallet Emulation" in the configuration menu of PwManager, if you don't want any KWallet based application to mess around with your Database.
But, if you always lock your Database, if you are not using it, no application can access either password. It always asks you to unlock, before. So letting KWallet Emulation enabled should be always save.

I don't know how to restore passwords after a clean install,

The wallets are stored in ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet

I don't know how secure KWallet's encryption algorythm is.

KWallet currently uses exactly the same algorithms, as PwManager does.

Have fun!

This program is very nice and easy to use. Reminds me of a program I was using in Windows. I just recently switched over (like 2 weeks ago). I am having a problem though. The emualte KWallet option is disabled (greyed out). You do I turn this feature on so I can get rid of that thing.

KWallet Emulation is only available in KDE 3.2. I guess you're running KDE 3.1.

SuSE 9 RPMS don't support KWallet.
SuSE 9.1 RPMS are available, now. Please use these. They contain KWallet support.

 Syncing with Palm

What I'm really missing is a password manager that can synchronise its database with a Palm handheld.
I know of GNU-Keyring, and I have already written a KPilot conduit for it. Unfortunately, Keyring seems to be unmaintained and the current version only supports reading from the Palm device.
PwManager seems like a good password manager. Any chance someone will assume the task of writing a Palm version and a KPilot conduit?

I don't have a Palm, so I'm not able to write it.
But I will assist everyone, who owns a Palm and is going to code it.

If you're looking for a password manager with a slick user interface that's aesthetically pleasing, don't look here.

You're just angry that someone wrote a better password manager than you did - and that theirs works. PwManager (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=14234) is a much better password manager with a much better interface.

Oh, my friends.
Don't do unneccessary flames, please. The user interface has been reviewed and greatly improved by official KDE usability people. (Thanks again to KDE people).
You may try PwManager-CVS. Its UI is even better, but it's the development version.
If you have any suggestions on improving PwManager, please let me know (Implementing compatibility with MyPasswordSafe is work in progress ;)

Have a nice day.

One thing that turns me off, is that text on the toolbar can be turned off but doesn't stick when I restart PwManager. Also, where ever there is not a button there's a black line on the bottom of the toolbar.

Was editing/creating an advanced comment thought out? Having to click two buttons to get to it is a big no no. And it just happened to segfault on me after I added an entry to the advanced comment OKed out of everything, and then tried to bring the advanced comment dialog back up.

As far as Password Safe compatibility, you're welcome to use my code...if you can get it to compile. ;-) We should also talk and standardize on a drag and drop mimetype.

Can't follow you. There's no text in the toolbar. Only icons.

The advanced comment is Work In Progress, as you can see on the TODO list.
However it shouldn't segfault. Can you do a backtrace and say what you did exactly?

I'm using code derived from pwsafe. If MyPasswordManager is really compatible with this, it should work.
Couldn't get it to compile until yet. :)

We should also talk and standardize on a drag and drop mimetype.

Yes. No such type existing now?
Care to do the first step in developing one?

Thanks.
Could you please reply via email? Would be a _lot_ easier.

Don't put too much stock into what sneakin says. If you'll remember, he is the one who wrote MyPasswordSafe, which is a really awful program compared to PwManager, and he is angry that PwManager actually works and is very popular - where his program is not. He will nit-pick and talk about problems that aren't really there. I wouldn't trust a word he says. He reminds me of a mud-slinging politician who is losing the election.

 He said "Windows"!

PwManager is the thing I was looking for - it's very easy to use and much more userfriendly than KDE Wallet, especially when handling logins for multiple shell accounts.

Killerfeatures: The very comfortable "copy username/password/whatever to clipboard" context menu, accessible just via the PwManager applet, and the password generator - that's just well thought.

So while I'm holding my thumbs up - how do you guys manage your passwords when having to work on a Windows client (yes, some of us have to do this from time to time)? One possibility is exporting the passwords as plain text and gpging them afterwards, but that's not very comfortable. I doubt there's something on the Redmond OS that can read the blowfish encrypted PwManager files, is it? What about a Windows port of PwManager? ;-)

A windows port is work in progress. I don't know how far the progress is, because I don't do it by myself.
The only problem is the KDE dependency, here. But I talked via email with someone, who thought it is possible, because there's some mini-KDE library for Windows.
However, there are good password managers for Windows around. I will add CSV Support to PwManager, so it'll be possible to communicate with them in future.
Thanks and have fun.

Fine, that's good news. Another question: Is there some command line application which can read the PwManager encrypted password files?

I think a Windows port would be great.

1. Same app and interface in both OS's for ease of use
2. Have a common password database that is easy to update between the two, like a work and home PC
3. Maybe store the passwords on a USB memory key so you can take it with you, then the passwords aren't even stored on the machine.
