This application is a password manager that stores your credentials (usernames/passwords) securely in an encrypted file.
It is based on the Eve VM 1.42 ( http://www.ewesoft.com) and has following features:

Importing and exporting data

Data can be imported from another taSecretSafe file or from a tab-delimited CSV file. The data is inserted as the first child node of the current group node.

The format of the CSV text file is as follows:

With the export function you can export the secrets of the selected branch to an unencrypted text file. The format is identical with the import format. The groups are not exported.

Entering and organizing data

The data is organized in a tree of unlimited depth. To a group you can add new child groups, sibling groups or secrets. Both, groups and secrets, are nodes of the tree and can be moved to an other location in the tree with the Cut and Paste functions.
Pasting a node inserts it at the position that is currently selected, while adding a node appends the node as last child of the selected node.
You can also delete a node or a complete branch. Be careful here: There is NO UNDO for this operation! The only way back is to quit the application without saving the data file or revert to the backup file.

top

Finding data

You can search for nodes that contain the string you are searching for. The search is always case-insensitive and searches all data fields of all nodes (groups and secrets). You cannot search for dates, though.
'Find' always searches from the root of the tree. 'Find next' continues the search from the last found node (not from the currently selected node).

Debugging

If you encounter problems when working with this application, you might want to activate the debug mode. This mode gathers data on certain operations (e.g. CSV import) and you can then view this data after the operation is done. The debug data might help you find out what is going wrong.
When the application starts, the debug mode is always off. The application does not remember the state of the debug mode.
