Secure Password Application - General Topics

Hi All,
I've tried searching the forums, but couldn't quite find what I was looking for.
In my line of work, I have the need to many different complex passwords. Each of which change at different intervals, and have different logins.
I am looking for:
An application which will securely store my passwords on my device. I used to have a fantastic memory, but more recently due to the increase in accounts and password policies, I find I am using the "I forgot my password" routine more frequently. Ideally something I can use on both the main PC and sync with the device would be cool, but not essential.
I've looked at SplashID and CodeWallet Pro.
Are there any applications the folks within XDA Devs can recommend?
Cheers
WTFH
PS. Don't suggest Post-It's stuck to the monitor, or using my memory!

I'm using KeePass, on both the PC and my WM6 device.
PC version is at: http://keepass.info/
PPC version is at: http://keepasssd.sourceforge.net/
My password file is in a folder I sync with the desktop.

Hi Jockey,
Check out XSForms and XSDesigner by GrendaSoft - I use their database designer and forms tool to run a DB on the PPC for asset audits. They've done some work on barcode entry too, and you can either sync to Access DB via activesync (there's plenty of info about doing so on their forums), or simply export to XML or CSV file which you can then import into a database.
These apps are both currently free.

Opening .sdf database files on PocketPC

Hi,
What is the most convenient application to open a .sdf database file on the Pocket PC ?
I have tested Microsoft Query Analyzer, but it is really not convenient to access the database for reading its data. Microsoft Query Analyzer is for development purpose, I guess. What application is able to display a .sdf database to use it for reference ?
Thanks for your advice, Chris
Write your own using .NET CF. It's not that hard.
Do you know a good tutorial giving an example of viewing a .sdf on a PocketPC ?
Chris
Hi guys !
I have found an application able to display the content of a .sdf file, it is: Pocket DB.
Unfortunately although the application features are great, the application interface is horrible.

Location of system passwords?

Simple question, I think. Would somebody tell me where WM 5/6 stores the system passwords: ActiveSync, the power-on-password, etc.? (Assuming they're all in the same place.) I was trying to research this and found the details on the Local Authentication Sub System upgrade in WM5, but I'm not so much looking for code, but for file name(s) or registry keys.
Thanks,
Todd

Hi,
try following Reg-Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\CredMan\Creds
I'm pretty sure MYPhone stores it there.
Otherwise you could try this:
- delete ActiveSync Pratnership and (optionally) configured Server (Exchange)
- Softreset your device
- do a full Registry-Export and save as 1.reg
- create ActiveSync Partnership and (optionally) configured Server (Exchange)
- do another full Registry-Export and save as 2.reg
- trasfer 1.reg and 2.reg to your Computer
- compare both Files with "WinDiff"
I hope this helps a bit
regards

[Q] What Android database apps exist?

I currently use a WinMo phone but might move over to Android. I have several large databases (1200+ records) so I use Handbase. I was wondering what database apps exist for Android. From what I'm told the iPhone version of Handbase is rubbish, is the Android version any good?
I've had a quick google search and didn't find anything and it looks like I can only search Android market via an Android phone which I don't own yet.
What I need from a database is to be able to import my existing databases (probably as a .cvs file) then easily filter the records. The simplest and best database program I've ever used was on my Psion 5, handbase (winMo) is a close second. Other than Handbase are there any other decent database apps out there and is Android Handbase any good?
I don't know of a good database app, but you can browse the market with Cyrket:
http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=database&market=android&sort=
There you also see HanDBase and others
Or search with Appbrain's website.. http://www.appbrain.com/
That was quick, I'm at work and a bit busy to have a proper look at the links, I'll look later.
Thanks for the quick replies.
Just to be clear, are you looking for an app that can read your current database files? Or just any database application (do you have any requirements E.G. GUI, Sql console, RDBMS transactionality?) For example, are you looking for "A database" in the same way that MS Access is "a database" (Hint: it isn't it's just a GUI) or "a database" in the way MySQL is.
Android has binaries for SQLite built in and searching for sqlite in appbrain should give you a number of front-ends for that.

How to Access/Control PC from Android free and Without a Static IP!!!

The following is a 3-step process for gaining remote access to your PC Via your Android phone's data connection for FREE and without a static IP.
IT USES YOUR DATA PLAN SO MAKE SURE YOUR HAVE UNLIMITED DATA PLAN OR YOU'LL BE SAD!!!
It allows you to control and view your PC by accessing Windows Remote Desktop using Pocket Cloud on your Android. I used this method on my T-mobile Samsung Vibrant and am now using it on my HTC Amaze. Currently, I have only tested this using Windows XP. I HAVE NOT TRIED IT ON WINDOWS 7. Someone smarter than I can tweak the process for Windows 7 and MAC OS. Please feel free.
I put this little solution together from some forums I found scattered all over the internet. When I needed it, I couldn’t find the complete solution in one place so; I consolidated it for you here. The VB script in particular is not my original work and I can't remember where I got it for the life of me so; my apologies to the author for not properly citing it here. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM ONLY POSTING THE METHOD I USED. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Now…down to business!!!!!
Here is how it works:
Your PC automatically accesses a website to gather your WAN IP information and sends an "email-to-text message" to your Android on a schedule of your choice. This ensures that you always have access to your current WAN IP address. This is important; DSL providers change your WAN IP address as much as 10 times/day where cable internet providers only do it about once/month.
You then use this information to configure Pocket Cloud (available for free on the Android Market) to connect to your home router/PC. Using the current WAN IP as the "host address" in Pocket Cloud, you can connect, control, and view your PC remotely over your Android's data connection.
Requirements:
In order for connection to work, the following must be done before you start the steps. Don't worry, these are all easy.
· Your PC must be powered on with an internet connection (obviously)
· Windows XP must have a windows logon password set (assuming you are not on a home network with an actual server).
NOTE
If you have a modem connected directly with no router, you are all set. Skip the next bullet.​
· Your router must be set to forward "remote desktop" activity (port 3389) to the PC to which you'd like to connect; make sure the router doesn't block the remote desktop application (see your router manual).
· Make sure your internet security software (see your software manual) and Windows XP ("my computer" properties under the "remote" tab) allows remote access to your PC.
STEP 1. Tweak the RED ITALIC TEXT ONLY of the VB Script (attached at the bottom) in by creating a new "note pad" file; pasting it in to "Note Pad"; and saving the file as "EmailIP.vbs".
NOTE
You can test your script by double clicking the .vbs file you just created. If you then get a text message with your IP address in it, you are good to go. The text message should only take a few minutes to arrive.​
STEP 2. Schedule the script to run at any interval you'd like by browsing to it from within Windows Task Scheduler. This is under Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks. If you need help with task scheduler, Google it.
NOTE
The task should be scheduled more frequently for those using a DSL home internet provider. I set mine for every 2 hours as I use DSL at home. Cable internet can be scheduled to run much less often.​
STEP 3. Install and configure Pocket Cloud RDP free from Android Market. using IP just texted to your Android and your Windows Logon information. ​
· Create a new connection in pocket cloud.
· Enter a nick name of your choice into the "Nick Name" field.
· Enter the WAN IP which was just texted to your phone into the "Host Address" field.
· Enter your windows logon user name and password into the "User Name" and "Password" fields.
· Leave everything else alone!
· Scroll to the bottom and hit "Save."
· Tap the connection and you should be connected to your PC with in seconds.
Cheers!
I use MyPhoneExplorer, very easy and noob-proof

Good choice, however, no-ip and teamviewer both require that a 3rd party have certain terminal info or it pings the server periodically. This solution keeps third arties out of the equation with the exception of a collecting your own IP from an outside URL. Again, somone much smarter than I would be able to write a script that collects your WAN from the CMD prompt or something native to OS rather than a URL. If you know how, Please do and post it here.

My Apologies. I did read them and didn't see a good fit anywhere as this is neither an App nor a game. It will take me some time to figure out where threads should be posted. Thanks for your patience.
