LockCrypt is a free account management program which uses high strength AES encryption to encrypt your data, so only you can access it.

You should export your database to XML before upgrading.

Russian, Hungarian and Hebrew translations have been added in this release, and there are a few improvements for LockCrypt Mobile. There's also a notes field which can be enabled for all accounts.

Changes in LockCrypt 1.50:

  • Added: Hebrew translation (Thanks Nir Sh).
  • Added: Hungarian translation (Thanks Attila).
  • Added: Russian translation (Thanks Amegane).
  • Added: HTML Export.
  • Added: Option to obfuscate a field so it appears hidden when viewing an account (Thanks prk59).
  • Added: Option to mark a field as a phone number so the number it contains can be dialed from LockCrypt Mobile (Thanks Toxic-Hero).
  • Added: Notes field for all account types (Thanks prk59).
  • Changed: The location of the last selected database file and export path are now saved, and the same folder is opened on subsequent imports/exports. (Thanks Attila).
  • Changed: Window size and position are now saved when exiting LockCrypt.
  • Changed: Improved support for XML export and international characters.
  • Changed: If an empty password is set, LockCrypt will no longer prompt for it.
  • Changed: All dialogs and forms now use the LockCrypt icon instead of the default Java one.

Changes in LockCrypt Mobile 1.20:

  • Added: 'Click and Call' for fields marked as phone numbers (Thanks Toxic-Hero)
  • Changed: Blank fields are now omitted (Thanks Herder).
  • Changed: If a blank password is set, a prompt will no longer be shown.
    Updated compatibility to display notes field (LockCrypt 1.50+).

LockCrypt Mobile, a J2ME version is also available. It allows you to carry your account database with you on any Java enabled mobile device.

TrueCrypt ( http://www.truecrypt.org/ ) is what i would recommend for general data encryption and even whole drive encryption ;)

Thanks, but this isn't about drive encryption, it's an account management program. ;)

Why in the world would you want to export your list of passwords as HTML?!

I have absolutely no idea, but text file and HTML export have both been requested. CSV support is something I added to let people export data to other programs, I've never needed to use it myself.

I'm happy with KeePass. Plus, it's OSS. What's LockCrypt have that KP doesn't?

Better Icons and from the looks a more simple interface. But is it portable?? I see they have a Jar file. Updates to any software is always welcome.

well if it's just a password management program i would recommend the open source program called 'Password Safe' ( http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ ) ( Bruce Schneier recommends it as it 's listed on his site here. ( http://www.schneier.com/passsafe.html ) )

quote from site... "Password Safe protects passwords with the Twofish encryption algorithm, a fast, free alternative to DES. The program's security has been thoroughly verified by Counterpane Labs under the supervision of Bruce Schneier, author of Applied Cryptography and creator of the Twofish algorithm."

at east he's not biased then :)

though, unless you keep te app on a memory stick you probably don't need the program itself to encrypt the data anyways.

better GUI ?

Thanks :)

In this release, I've added an optional command line argument which allows you to use any file path as a database. Just specify it after LockCrypt.exe/.jar

This looks like good software but there's something I don't like. The look and feel... I believe this is probably because of LockCrypt is coded in Java. All I'm saying is that I like my applications to fit as much as possible as in the OS I'm using, in this case, Vista. That's the only reason I'm going to keep using KeePass for now, although LockCrypt looks better...

However, if you do nay progress in the feature to make it fit in Vista, I wouldn't mind and probably would, care more about LockCrypt tha I currently do with KeePass.

Just my 2 cents. :)

But there's nothing wrong with Java applications. Do you have a vendetta against them? There's no way I could re-code everything just because you don't like Java. Sorry.

You're missing the point... I didn't ask you to recode everything in a different language, that's not what I've said. But yes, I don't like Java applications, I don't have a vendetta against them but I don't like them mostly because they never fit into the Windows look and feel. Another reason is cause they normally use more resources than other applications, but that's not the main reason like I already said...

I always try to avoid Java applications whenever I can because they just don't fit into the Windows look and feel. I'm just talking about the applications interface... Look at the buttons/splitbuttons, dropdowns, textboxes, tabs, etc... They don't look at all with Vista, not event XP. Heck, they don't even look like any other OS out there, they just have their own look and I'm not saying it's good or bad, I'm just saying it doesn't fit into the OS look.

I just hate applications that don't fit into the OS look and Java applications are the most common with that problem. I don't know much about Java, I've only started to learn it this year in the university but there most be a way or some library (something...) that you could use to draw all those controls using the OS look...

It's just a suggestion, you take it or leave it... I'm just one person stating what I dislike about the application and why I don't even consider using it, maybe there are others that share my opinion or maybe there aren't. Do as you please :)

Thanks for the input. LockCryot already uses a custom look and feel library to make it look a bit nicer. I'll look into a different UI for it, maybe other users feel the same way.

I wouldn't have thought you'd have been bothered by something such as look and feel though Nazgulled, I thought you were a developer yourself.

Yes, I am a developer but I am also a webdesigner (less and less these days) but I don't think that means anything... I'm a developer that likes pretty things, with nice, beautiful and modern interfaces. Every time I look for new software for something I need, the look and feel plays a major part in deciding the software I'm going to get. If I'm using something that I'm going to see everyday, I want it to look nice, see what I mean? It's how I am and what I think though, I know there are lots of people that just don't care how something looks, but I do...

Anyway, just to make it clear... I'm not saying to make a different UI, the UI looks fine, honestly... In fact, your application caught my attention because it looked good and I really liked the interface against the KeePass one (which I'm currently using). The only tiny problem in your application (for me) is the controls that are custom drawn, I like the applications to fit into Vista (cause that's the OS I use) and the controls on your application do not fit...

The interface is pretty nice though, don't change that... At least for now lol, I haven't really tested the application so I cannot say I don't have any other suggestions to make... Maybe in the future...

Unfortunately, UI sells these days and if it's intuitive, it makes you want to use it over and over :)

But of course, if the functionality doesn't back it up, then it's useless :)

I'm using LockCrypt at the moment. It's pretty handy! Love the standalone file

I am the same way. Look and feel is always important because it brings a nice polish, professional feel to the app. Workflow is very important too. It sounds like you think the workflow and layout is good for LockCrypt, just needs the extra polish to blend in more. Right?

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been looking into the native OS look'n'feels which come with Java, and they seem to blend in a lot better.

In the next release, I hope to include an option to switch between the Java look'n'feel for your specific OS and the current (JGoodies) look'n'feel.

Version 1.55 has been released, and features a changeable skin. Options are JGoodies (the current look and feel), the cross platform Java look and feel or the specific look and feel of the operating system you're using. :)

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

    • WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview

      By Copernic · Posted

Better Library Management – Improved playlists, media organization, and search. No Bloat – Focuses on performance without unnecessary extras. Regular Updates – Community-driven development with new features and fixes. WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.
