 Password Archive stores your data in records. Each record contains fields and their values. A record is similar to a standard hardcopy form. Password Archive contains more than 20 built in record templates, or you can easily modify a built in template or create your own.
The program’s main window displays a list of records in the left pane and a specific record in the right. The right pane changes depending on the record chosen in the left pane and displays its contents. The list of records in the left pane contains folders that are like regular Windows folders. You can create any number of folders and fill them with confidential information any way you want.
Password Archive stores all your records in a special encrypted file on your computer’s hard drive. To access Password Archive, just think up a password (or create one using the built-in password generator) and memorize it.

Password Archive stores all your records in a special encrypted file on your computer’s hard drive. Or you can store the file at a different location. For example, save it on a flash drive and always have it with you. The file is encrypted using the Triple DES (TDES) and AES industrial encryption algorithms. The encryption key is generated from your Password Archive password using the SHA and MD5 algorithms. The only password you need to remember is the password required to access Password Archive. You must remember this password, because Password Archive never stores it anywhere.
In cryptography, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known as Rijndael, is a block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the US government. It is expected to be used worldwide and analyzed extensively, as was the case with its predecessor, the Data Encryption Standard (DES). AES was adopted by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as US FIPS PUB 197 in November 2001 after a 5-year standardization process.
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a cipher (a method for encrypting information) selected as an official Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for the United States in 1976, and which has subsequently enjoyed widespread use internationally. The algorithm is secure in the form of Triple DES (NIST SP 800-67).

 Password Archive has more than 20 built in record templates, including password, e-mail account, website registration, bank account, software serial number, credit card, instant messenger, clothing sizes, Internet settings, passport and many more. Each template is a ready-to-use form that contains fields relevant to a specific record. For example, the credit card template contains fields such as credit card number, PIN code, billing address, etc. Field names and values can be edited in place.
Add new fields to a record created from a template. The new fields will look exactly like the original main template fields. Add a new field by selecting it from a list of frequently used fields or create your own. The order of the fields can be easily modified, and some fields can be removed, if required.
The values of the most important fields (e.g. Password or Credit Card Number) can be set as hidden.

 Password Archive has a built-in password generator. The password generator is a powerful tool for creating really long and strong passwords. Use it to create passwords up to 255 characters long. Select the types of characters to include in a new password. For example, only numbers to generate PINs, or letters and numbers for regular passwords. Your password will be ready as soon as you click on the Create button.

 Password Archive has no tedious edit dialog windows. Record names, file names and their values can be edited in place where you see them. Just double-click anywhere on the text in the window displaying the confidential information. An Edit form will pop up right over the text and disappear as soon as you are finished editing.

 Password Archive has a Hidden Fields function. Hidden field values are replaced by asterisks on the screen, and an image of a lock appears to the left of the field. No one else can see hidden fields, which is very convenient if you are working where it’s crowded. A hidden field value can be viewed only by pointing the mouse at it. With the context menu you can easily copy a password to a website entry field, for example, and nobody will be able to see it. You can hide any field--password, PIN code, credit card number, serial number, or any other.

 You can add additional fields to any record. But you don’t need to enter the same field names every time you want to add them. Password Archive contains a built-in list of more than 30 frequently used fields. With a single mouse click the list will pop up as a context menu. Once you have selected a field, Password Archive will add it to your confidential record immediately.

 Every confidential record has an image in its top left corner. Password Archive offers a choice of more than 20 built in images. Either select one of the built in images or add your own to customize the way the record looks. For example, add a photograph in the contact records, or a website logo in the website registration records.

 Password Archive can automatically recognize hyperlinks. When Password Archive recognizes text as a Web address, it displays the text in blue and creates a link to that address. You can then visit the address by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking the hyperlink.
