Password Keeper

[Charging Rhino]

I think a password keeper would be a nice app for the Zune. Here is how it would work:

1.You enter a 4 digit number that you choose (kinda like the screen lock on Zune software)

2. It loads a screen that has 3 options "1. Add new, 2. See all, 3. Change code"

3. choose your option

This is my idea and tips for anyone that want to try it out if you think it will work.

Thats interesting...

I like it somehow, because in the company I work, I am forced to use up to 6 different passwords, each with its own conventions etc. When I came back from rehab I haven't been in office for 7 weeks and I forgot some of them which ended in phone calls, faxes and emails, not to mention the time I had to wait for resets.

That is pretty cool. I might use an app like that.

i still dont get the point of it.

Just like the screen lock but not@?

what if you forget the master code?

[Meekins]

correct me if im wrong, but it'd just be like a notepad with all your passwords in it, you could write em down on a piece of paper and carry that around, but this allows you to have even your passwords secure. so u'd have like ur pc password, login pass for different sites, and login pass for school etc. all on ur zune just in case.

Not a bad idea at all.

It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult either.
+rep for the idea.

Well if you forget a four digit code that you choose and not have to remember all the other codes that you put in the program then I don't know what to tell you.

This would be a very good idea. For the purposes of simplicity, all of the info could be stored in text files on the compter, one file per password. All you would have to do is deploy it to load these passwords in. And of course, a short password to access the reader in the first place. This could probably done with existing code with a few modifications. I need a 4 digit password to unlock my phone, so I know I've got something memorized already.

this, after i read the first post three times over, is a very good idea. Although i have only three password that i ever use. (One for four digit, one for five digit, and on for six digit password) but yea its a good idea!!

the four digit passcode for me would be easy to remember as i have said before i use it all the time.
Is there any way of implementing a sort of keyboard that the user can scroll round using the d-pad so write down there password on the zune.
And how will this far with remembering them?

[Charging Rhino]

So is there someone that would like to try to work on this, because I do not know how to code or anything like that?

i will look into coding as of.


Now

But a reminder for all.
I havent touched c# in a long time/

That's great. Thanks for the help. I'm sure that if you do your best it will look great.

[Charge]

hey its always worth a try

[PIE]

pretty good idea i might use that

[Cutlass]

Seems like a cool idea but if you have to store your passwords on the computer then put them in through C# it is more difficult than if we could somehow get the same menu you used on the Zune to set the Screen Lock combo.
i know that at work i have to change my combo every 90 Days and i dont have acces to C# so i would rather be able to put the combo straight in.

[Charging Rhino]

Yeah, that would be better.

[Charge]

that was my idea. kind of a scroll through letters, like the number lokcj but includes letter, caps, and numbers.

[Charging Rhino]

It is up to you Charge, you d programmer.

[Charge]

famous last words. Im looking into that now.
