On Version 2.0 and Windows RT
January 7th, 2013 | Permalink | Comment?

I apologize for the long stretch of silence, folks. I realize there haven’t been any new releases for a while, and likewise no news to speak of. As often tends to happen, I’ve been swamped lately with many different irons in many different fires, and unfortunately that means a number of things on my plate [...]

No News is Good News?
October 5th, 2011 | Permalink | Comment?

Well… sort of. I apologize that there hasn’t been much in the way of Cryptnos news lately, folks. Truth be told, there hasn’t been any news primarily because there hasn’t been anything newsworthy to report. When I started working on Cryptnos, I did so to scratch my own itch. I wanted a password manager where [...]

A Free Software Redistribution Cautionary Tale
July 20th, 2011 | Permalink | Comment?

I wanted to quickly share a brief cautionary tale with those of you visiting us about the wild and wooly world of free software distribution and redistribution. Of course, coming from me, that will likely mean it will be nowhere near as quick or as brief as I originally intended, but at least I’m going [...]

More specific character restrictions

Recently, the following comment was made in the Android Market for Cryptnos for Android: Works as described, but I can’t select required parameters like: must be 6-8 characters, contain at least 2 letters and 2 numbers. I look upon this as a feature request, even though the commenter did not formally ask. That said, I [...]

Power Tip: Reusing Parameters to Make Related Passwords
June 8th, 2010 | Permalink | Comment?

As mentioned in the FAQ, all versions of Cryptnos do (or will) store all your password generating parameters, with the important exception of your master password. The master password is NEVER stored, and neither is it ever checked for validity. Cryptnos has no concept of whether you master password is “right” or “wrong”; it’s just [...]

Cross-platform encryption
April 25th, 2010 | Permalink | Comment?

One of the main goals I’ve always had for Cryptnos has been as much cross-platform compatibility as possible. As far as I can tell, so long as you always use the same text encoding on every platform, Cryptnos always generates the same password, regardless of whether you are using .NET, Android, or Java.

Cryptnos Pootle for Translations
April 9th, 2010 | Permalink | Comment?

I’ve got another new announcement for you, folks. I just finished (I think) setting up the official Cryptnos Pootle portal! What the heck is Pootle, you say? Pootle a user-friendly web portal that makes the translation process so much simpler. It allows online translation, work assignment, statistics, and easy volunteer contribution. Initially, I’ve set up [...]

Welcome to Cryptnos.com! Pardon our dust as we continue to get things set up and organized. We’re still not quite sure if the site will remain structured quite the way it is now, but so far this looks like it will be the final design. We’re familiar with WordPress, so it seemed the logical choice [...]
