I wrote myself a database that I use for passwords and the like. I get around this by masking text until I tap a button, and then waiting a random number of ticks before decrypting the value and progressively unmasking the text. It takes between ½ and two seconds. The problem I've yet to solve is hiding the text. Leaving it on-screen for, say 10 seconds before re-masking and encrypting is fine for now but sometimes that's not long enough.
The other thing it does is with a tap and waiting for the same random number of ticks is to copy the value to the clipboard so that I can paste it into a browser.
Not perfect but its a version 1 at least.
- exhilaration 12y agoYou should try 1Password: https://agilebits.com/onepassword https://agilebits.com/onepassword It's the most recommended password manager on Hacker News.
- Spearchucker 12y agoThanks, I'm aware of it but it doesn't work for me. Beyond what I described above, I need something that works on Windows and Windows Phone, and I need it to securely sync between the two.
- ghshephard 12y agoThis implies that there is a version of 1Password for windows phone? https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/12133/1password-for-windows-phone-8 https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/12133/1password...
- exhilaration 12y agoIndeed there is: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/1password/21ed2e70-e011-e011-9264-00237de2db9e http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/1password/21ed2e...
- diafygi 12y agoCan you use KeePass and just sync the database via dropbox?
