Note I am not a cryptography expert so whether or not you trust the algorithms to store your passwords is up to you.


 

Add my password to the system — its added as a note because it isn't a task that needs any action.

 

>>>note @pw login password to the henspace forum <s>t6A4hjKP

 

Now find that password.

 

>>>fi @pw henspace

Filter = @Password henspace

[26] login to the henspace forum <*** secret aes ***>

 Priority: 00

Context: @Notes @Password

Created: [2006-09-01]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Now reveal the password.
