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. :)

    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
