Password manager
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
The connection manager has a build-in password manager which uses encryption
|
||||
to savely store passwords. If you want to use it is up to you. Check the Save
|
||||
password checkbox and the password manager will be used to safely store the
|
||||
password. The first time this happens you will be asked for a password you wish
|
||||
to use for the password manager. Make sure to remember this password cause there
|
||||
is no way to recover it if you loose it.
|
||||
|
||||
When you try to open a connection for which the password was saved the program
|
||||
will prompt you for the password managers password. You can choose how long the
|
||||
program will keep the password manager unlocked. If you cancel this password
|
||||
prompt the program will prompt you for the password of the database connection.

Resetting the password manager
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunatly at this time there is no way to change the master password.
|
||||
Neither is it possible to completely reset the password manager other then
|
||||
removing the `pglabuser.db` file.

|

|
||||
To make it hard to brute force decode the saved passwords the passwords are not
|
||||
simply encrypted with the master password. Instead a keystrengthening algorithm
|
||||
is applied to your master password combined with a salt. The exact parameters
|
||||
choosen for keystrengthening depends on the speed of your computer. This
|
||||
strengthened key will be used only as a basis for encryption. Each password
|
||||
saved is associated with a random guid, this 128-bit value is combined with
|
||||
your strengthened key to create the key to save the password.
