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.




You should try 1Password: https://agilebits.com/onepassword

It's the most recommended password manager on Hacker News.


Thanks, 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.


This implies that there is a version of 1Password for windows phone?

Can you use KeePass and just sync the database via dropbox?
