Password Carrier and Windows Vista

Password Carrier and Windows Vista

A new beta of Password Carrier is now available, it brings Vista compatibility into the game; 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista are both supported.

Other changes:

  • An error was fixed - at times the program would fail if the number of collected credentials would exceed a certain threshold;
  • Inactivity is now shown via a tray-icon (the program locks itself if the computer is left unattended)

How to update

Simply extract the contents of the archive to the removable disk, overwriting the current files of the program. Make sure you do not delete any of your .dka files (the profiles that contain your identities, and the credentials associated with each identity).

The beta is in a stable state, there are no known issues with it. The program is now an official release, and can be retrieved from dekart.com.

Why Password Carrier

Password Carrier is not just another form filler, it is much more than that, because:

  • it was designed with security in mind - the collected data are encrypted with AES-256;
  • biometric authentication can be used as a third authentication (along with "something you have" - the USB key, and "something you know" - the PIN);
  • it is absolutely portable - works on any Windows system, does not require administrative privileges;
  • all the private data are always with you, and updates happen on-the-fly - newly memorized passwords can be used on other computers, not only on the one on which they were captured;
  • Password Carrier understands the meanings of the fields - so that if the design of the web-page is updated, it will still be able to figure out where to type in the data.
