Password Manager 4.10 forced to foregound

I use Windows 7 Pro and a ThinkPad X230
One of the products i install is Thinkvantage Password manager 4.10.
When I start Lotus Notes as a user the welcome and password prompt will appear. Behind that screen a TV Password Manager screen is displayed and hard to see.
Is it possible to configure TV Password Manager to always popup in the foreground ?

Hello
Password Manager4.7 is now not using IE plug-in or IE extensions.
There is a process name like "pwm_ie_helper_desktop.exe" which is to help to fill password manager for IE.
Did you see this process running when you opened IE?

Password manager 4 vs. ctrl -hotkeys

Hi,
I have Thinkvantage password manager 4.00.0024.00 installed in Windows 7 64b Enterprise.
This version of PWM does not work with these programs:
-cisco system vpn client version 5.0.07.0440
-- PWM does not react to password dialog at all
-putty 0.62 (pageant.exe with rsa *.pkk files)
-- PWM reacts to password dialog but somehow "too early" when box of dialog only has frames and is still empty, result is that password does not appear in password box at all
In previous version of PWM 3.x there was a hotkey feature (f.ex ctrl-f2) which could be used to manually "force" password entry in dialogs.
Is this feature still possible to activate in PWM 4?
... I hope it has not been removed it because it has been very usefull.
Any ideas...?
\RL

The hotkey feature was removed from Password Manager 4, due to the fact that it relies on a keyboard hook and it caused side-effects (bugs) with certain applications that we could not fix. The hotkey feature is not needed for the vast majority of applications, and the risk of leaving it in for little benefit was too high, so it got removed.
Supporting application passwords is very difficult because applications can implement password fields in many different ways. And application mis-behavior like what you are seeing with putty can also impact Password Manager.
I will report these issues to the Password Manager team to see if they can fix them so that those applications are supported.
Thanks for your feedback.

My Kaspersky Password manager and a whole list of things I use daily have been disabled. I want to go back to my older version of Mozilla. How do I do that.

I want to go back to the older version of Mozilla. The new version does not support alot of the programs that I used daily, like my Kaspersky Password Manager (which is essential), I can't remember all of my usernames and passwords. If I can't use this feature, then I don't want the new version. How do I go back to the older version? Otherwise, I'll be forced to use Internet Explorer.

Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

Password manager - browser specific - forms

Some (most these days) browsers offer a user an option to save form data when the form contains an input field with the password type. In Mozilla this is called the "Password Manager". I'm not sure what it is called in other browsers, I've probably disabled the feature, but Mozilla is NOW my test base.
The problem is that the the underlying request values are replaced by the browser's password manager. The input type "reset" will show the base html, but refresh does not.
Right now I can think of three options....
1) Change the input type from password to text and process it in the server side bean wrapper. Send *'s when the html table is built and bugger the password manager because there will no longer be and input type "password".
2) Force a reset on the page.
3) About 27 different scenario's

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the form I am using this in is an internal administrative web app for managing a client database. I was using the password field to mask the user password from the administrative user. The specs on this were to allow the admin user to initialize or reset a client password, but not to view the users active password. I solved the problem in a different way by adding a function getMaskedPassword to the user ejb.
I also ran into a related problem with a two column table of paired label and input cells. When the label of the first cell was "User Name" the browser's form manager prompts if you want to remember the form values on a post. To fix it I just changed the label to "Client Id".
The problem is that even though the underlying pages had the right data the managers were overwriting it with the saved data. For an administrative data entry web app this really wasn't acceptable.

Password manager apps?

I hope it's okay to ask this here. If not, I apologize.
I'm looking for a password manager app and am finding so many I can't dig my way through them. I'm hoping someone might have a recommendation. In addition to the usual account name, username and password, I would like an app that has a notes area, since I tend to write info about the account in the memo area of the application I use on my laptop. I worry about hacking, so I would prefer something that does not back up to a space I have no control over. Ideally, the password manager would just back up to my laptop, or better yet, sync with a laptop version so I would not have to maintain 2 password managers.
Does anyone have an absolute favorite password manager app?
Thanks,
Tery

I don't understand that complaint. In what way is 1Password forcing people to write reviews, and in what way are they premature?
I personally use 1Password, both on Mac and iOS, and have for a couple years now. It is a little overpriced when you consider the cost of getting the app on both platforms, but I'm overall very happy with it. Would I be happier with something else? I don't know, maybe... I haven't done comparisons, because this one did what I needed.

After updating to Firefox 7.0.1 , Kaspersky password Manager v5 crashed firefox?!

After updating to Firefox 7.0.1 , Kaspersky password Manager v5 becomes incompatible with Firefox 7.01 ,I've tried to force add-on to work by installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter , it said this add-on no longer works , any site I open it with kaspersky Password Manager firefox would crash , I wish I could rollback the updates and back to version 6 , also Kapersky virtual keyboard ,URL advisor . antibanner for KIS 2012 stopped working any solution , please?!

@repected sir.
we paid kaspersky pure alot of money....and a major portion was because it has inbuilt password manager.....
if we get the password manager v5..we still have to pay for it which is unacceptible.
firefox has ruined password manager.
i recommend people to switch over to chrome(the new version has password manager support) for the time being till firefox gets us a stable version one which has support for kaspersky password manager.

ACS Password Management

dear all,
i would like to ask about system configuration/local password management option located on ACS application.
on this page i can specify the min max password length, alphanumeric password or not, and finaly if the password can contain the user name,
my question is, shall this options apply to administrator users only? or ACS VPN authenticated users and groups (end user) only? or both of them?
in addition, if the users are created before configuring the ACS local management policy, and users are already created with a criteria different then what a local password management identify, for example a user has a password not alphanumeric, and now i am going to configure the policy to force the password to be alphanumeric, what do happen for those users(users created before configuring the policy that do not match the new criteria configured)?
finally, is there a way to configure a password expiry date?
regards,

hello,
administrator password settings is located in administration control password policy.
in system administration there is no user authentication settings, but there is local password management only.
so this local password management might be for users who authenticate on acs as long as there is a separate password policy on administration control page.
i would like to ask modifying this policy, shall this will affect users passwords only? or group users passwords? or both?
as long as i can have a user password and a group password (to which the user is assigned) different from each others.
the last point is the password lifetime, on versions previous to acs 5.3, we can set password lifetime in group users/edit group setup. but what if i dont want to change group user password lifetime, but i want to change the user password lifetime? where can i set it?

Fingerprint Reader access to KeePass (from a Thinkpad with Password Manager)

The goal: secure, convenient, automated login to password-protected sites
KeyPass is a great open-source program for secure creation, storage and use of login passwords and other information. With a plugin called KeeForm, it allows very convenient automatic login to password-protected sites by clicking on a KeePass entry. To preclude unintended access to all of your secure information, it is wise to close Keepass after each use, or set Keepass to lock when minimized. But this is less convenient, because a long secure master password then has to be entered before each use of Keepass.
Using a fingerprint reader to enter Keepass can be a big time saver while retaining security. Capacitive swipe fingerprint readers can be very secure, provided they operate through equally secure software. They are available as USB units, or integrated into some keyboards and notebook computers, for example some Lenovo ThinkPads.
Unfortunately, set-up can be a challenge and there may be disadvantages even after the best workable interface between KeePass and a particular biometric system. This example uses the integrated fingerprint reader and software on a Lenovo ThinkPad X61.
The problem: getting secure fingerprint software to use KeePass
ThinkPads can use Lenovo fingerprint software alone for start-up into Windows, but they need additional layers of software (Client Security Solution - CSS, and Password Manager - PM) to work with other programs including KeePass. PM uses CSS security functions.
Cautions about Lenovo CSS:
1. Some organisations advise against CSS because of problems including clashes with antivirus programs. See http://www.ncsu.edu/antivirus/lenovo/ and
http://prowiki.isc.upenn.edu/wiki/ThinkVantage_Software_Under_Windows_Vista
These bugs may have been fixed over time - but install at your own risk!
2. CSS and PM introduce their own system overheads which may slow some operations.
3. Once tried, CSS may not simply be inactivated while restoring basic fingerprint start-up into Windows. The X61 at least insists that CSS be reactivated for any fingerprint function. If you try a Windows system restore to a time before CSS was first activated, you may experience the ‘blue screen of death'. The security chip evidently regards your desire for a past configuration as a security breach. With luck you may ‘live again' if you can log into Windows in Safe Mode to undo the attempted system restore. After that, I reactivated CSS. I was not game to try uninstall after inactivation of CSS - but see the ncsu link above.
Having decided to accept the ‘risks' of activating CSS and PM, you may want to try PM for all password management. For me it would not recognise some internet logins, could not complete auto-submission in others, and did not allow the manual adjustments that make KeePass so versatile. Unfortunately PM help is very limited. There is no current user manual (old manuals up to v1.4 available on the web do not match the properties of the current v3 of the software). KeePass (or the KeeForm plugin) also struggles with some sites, but it works much better overall. Help on KeeForm plugin syntax is limited, but otherwise KeePass help is great.
So we really want the fingerprint reader (via PM) to work for KeePass master password entry.
This is not so simple for five interacting reasons:
(i) It is tricky to register KeePass in PM;
(ii) PM then gets confused by ‘hidden' entry of a master password during fingerprint login to KeePass, and repeatedly tries to save ****** as a changed master password;
(iii) PM also tries to automatically register each entry opened for editing within KeePass;
(iv) PM tries to automatically register other logins even if they are managed through KeePass.
(v) Your KeePass records are now only as secure as your PM login (which is likely to be your Windows login).
The solutions: or workarounds at least
The best workarounds I could develop for these five issues were:
(i) To register KeePass in PM, first ensure that PM is running (icon in the system tray). Then launch KeePass, click the login window box for unobscured password display (three blue dots turn black), enter the master password and click OK to start KeePass as usual.
If PM does not offer to save an entry for KeePass by this stage, try ‘plan B'. Open a window to edit an entry in KeePass, then click Cancel. PM seems to recognise this more readily as a login window and may offer to create an entry. Accept the offer, and name the entry KeePass. Then open PM to edit the saved entry. You will have to edit several fields to achieve an effective PM entry for KeePass:
The title field must be "Open database - database.kdb", to match the title of the KeePass login window.
The file name field should show the full path to KeePass.exe (something like C:\Program Files\KeePass\PeePass.exe depending on your installation).
The login and password data field is accessed by double clicking the entry. It will need to show only your KeePass master password (in the unobscured text view). In login and password data, delete each line of unwanted text until you get to the final password line (shown as *****), and edit this line to provide your master password.
In the Advanced tab, select auto-fill and auto-submit and the desired security level [see (v) below]. Then select OK to get to the PM front window, and File - Save Changes, then Exit.
Now when you close and re-launch KeePass, PM should automatically intervene (requesting a fingerprint to complete the KeePass login if you selected that security level. Select ‘No' when PM asks to change the password [see (ii) below].
If you had no luck, try ‘plan C'. Close KeePass completely, then launch it again to open the login window. Then right-click the PM icon in the system tray, open the ‘Type and Transfer Tool', click the box for unobscured password display, type in the KeePass master password, drag the cross-hairs to the password field in the waiting KeePass login window, and release the password there. Click OK to start KeePass as usual, then click OK to close the PM transfer window. If there is still no KeePass entry in PM, check that KeePass has not been included in the PM excluded programs list. If this sequence does not work, reboot and check again. Failing all else, any entry that PM succeeds in making from any login page can be edited to an effective KeePass entry by editing fields as described above for ‘plan B'.
PM (v3.00) can be coy to associate initially, but it will accept KeePass (v1.14) as a password-managed program, and thereafter it reliably succeeds to auto-submit the KeePass login after some help described in (ii) below.
(ii) Having sent the correct master password to the KeePass login window, PM becomes confused by the ‘hidden' text now in the password field, and offers to change its record of your KeyPass master password to ******. You can manually select ‘No' in the PM changed-password dialogue box that appears every time you use PM / fingerprint for KeePass login. But Beware: if you ever accidentally select ‘Yes' (the default) your KeePass master password record in PM will be changed to ******. This can be edited to provide the correct password again, but it is more than a minor pain in the AR5E. Unless you know (or have a backup of) your KeePass master password you just lost access to your KeePass database!
To avoid this big nuisance and risk, you can set up to restart KeePass for each use from a desktop shortcut (instead of minimising it to the system tray) and have the shortcut run a batch file with vbs scripts that send the ‘No' message to PM automatically.
Here is an example batch file, with corresponding vbs scripts. You can make all these files using Notepad and save the files with the names indicated, into the KeePass program directory (C:\Program Files\KeePass in this example).
KeePass.bat (This launches KeePass and tells PM v3 not to change the password. Caution: If Lenovo changed PM program design in future, the effect could change; the batch file might send {TAB}{ENTER} keystrokes to another open window on your computer):
C:
cd\
cd "C:\Program Files\KeePass"
start " " "C:\Program Files\KeePass\KeePass.exe" "C:\Program Files\KeePass\Database.kdb"
start /w Sleep.vbs 1
start /w AppActivate.vbs
start /w SendKeys.vbs
Sleep.vbs (provides a short delay to open the ThinkVantage dialogue window, otherwise the following scripts fail because they are sent too soon):
Wscript.Sleep Wscript.Arguments(0) * 1000
AppActivate.vbs (puts focus on the ThinkVantage Password change dialogue window so that Tab and Enter commands are not sent elsewhere with undesired effects):
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").AppActivate "ThinkVantage Password Manager"
SendKeys.vbs (sends a ‘No' response to the PM request to change its KeePass entry):
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys "{TAB}{ENTER}"
Please substitute ) where you see smileywink: in the vbs scripts above - I can't get this forum window to stop automatically translating the " ) sequence of text (without a space) as an emoticon.
This batch file approach should work with additional startup switches for KeePass, for example the /backup.path: switch used by ‘another backup' plugin (or you can use the db_backup plugin that works from the KeePass.ini file). Quotes are needed around any entry with spaces. But some things that ‘should work' such as just writing "KeePass.exe" instead of the full path in line 4 of the batch file do not give the same outcome for me. This may be an effect on timing of the switch of focus between windows - so if you strike a problem it may be worth experimenting with the delay time set through the sleep script.
If you set KeePass to lock when minimised, you will have to deal manually with the PM changed-password dialogue every time you re-access KeePass. So it is simpler to close rather than minimise KeePass after each use and restart it when needed, via the batch file.
(iii) You have to tell PM ‘No' whenever it offers to save an entry that is edited in KeePass. This is less of a nuisance, because entries rarely need to be edited once set up in Keepass. There is no way to turn off this requirement. If you select ‘Never' it will prevent use of PM and therefore fingerprint entry to start KeePass (not just the edit window).
(iv) Turn off internet login within PM. This will leave all internet logins to KeePass. Unfortunately you can not set PM to only allow a single program login (KeePass), but you can set it to exclude specific programs, so do that for other programs that you access via KeePass.
(v) Finally, set PM security within CSS so that a fingerprint (or a password if the fingerprint reader fails) is needed every time PM is launched (not just once per boot). Similarly, set KeePass security this way within PM. Otherwise (if you set the requirement to once per boot) your passwords are open to inspection while you are away from your booted computer.
Caution: How secure is your Windows login password? Most likely this is also your PM login password, so it now allows access to your KeePass database! Make sure that it is a unique, secure and preferably memorable password.
How close are we now to the desired combination of security and convenience?
Click on the KeePass shortcut to the batch file given above, swipe the fingerprint, wait while CSS works, then click on the relevant Keepass entry to access any password-protected site or application in your Keypass list - great convenience.
Security is very strong - both KeePass and PM are extremely secure unless you use a weak or insecure master password or select less secure settings.
Starting (or opening a locked instance of) KeePass without the batch file given above requires a couple of extra carefully-placed clicks in the process to tell PM not to mess up its entry for KeePass, then to complete KeePass startup. This is less convenient, and a mistake could prevent future database access - so the batch file method is recommended.
A final caution (while enjoying secure & convenient logins):
Beware - fingerprint access is so convenient that you may forget your master passwords! Eventually they will be needed! You may click the wrong button in PM, suffer a faulty fingerprint reader or change computers! Then you must recall your master passwords before you can access your password file (and possibly your computer). This could be devastating: loss of all secure password information in KeePass and PM (and possibly loss of all information on a protected computer drive, not to mention need to pay for a computer motherboard and HDD replacement). So:
1. Choose very secure but ‘unforgettable' master passwords for KeePass and computer (PM) access.
2. Always set up a secure master password as an alternative to biometric authentication (in case of a faulty fingerprint reader).
3. Keep your password database backups, and your separate master password backups, in another secure (preferably encrypted) but accessible location!
Program versions tested:
KeePass v1.14 (v2 betas not tested) with KeeForm v2 and DB_Backup v1.14
Lenovo CSS v8.20 with PM v3.00
The solutions were tested in November 2008 on a Thinkpad X61 running Windows Vista Business. The tricks to interface with KeePass can vary between fingerprint programs (search the KeePass forum).

I'm reviving quite an old topic here, but I have been unable to find any other good information on this. I currently use the latest version of Keepass v2.23 and have Lenovo Passoword Manager v4.3 installed on my new W530 laptop. I can't get PM to recognize any passowords at all, in web browsers or in windows application.
In PM the only thing I can do is create folders and secure notes. My fingerprint software works great for automated logins to windows. Does anyone have any experience with using the fingerprint reader with a windows application like Keepass?
How can I get the Password manager to do ... anything? Recognize a password in windows or a web browser?
I'm open to any other software to be used or I can write scripts if necessary to accomplish this. It doesn't seem like this should be so difficult, but from what I've learned about Lenovo so far, is that nothing is easy. After trying to get battery charge thresholds working proplery in Windows 8, I've already lost faith in a company that I thought had a great reputation.

I have a password manager built into my fingerprint scanner. It worked on the older version of Firefox but it will not on this new version. It will not recognize log in pages and will not load information.

With the old version, all I had to do was go to the log in page to any of my email accounts or membership sites and scan my finger. It would fill in the fields and open my account. I like this new version of Firefox, but if I am not able to use that password manager then I will have to install the older version.

A 2008 black MacBook can run OS X Lion (OS X 10.7). However, if you want to use that Mac for apps that do not work with the new MacBook, I recommend you to leave it with Mac OS X 10.6.8, because OS X Lion removes compatibility with PowerPC apps.
Do not worry about the battery of the new MacBook Pro. You can replace it yourself or take it to an Apple Store or reseller, and the cost is similar. However, it's important to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller if your Mac's battery fails while the Mac is in warranty, because you will get the battery replaced for free.

How to delete wrong passwords saved in the password manager

Hi, made a really stupid mistake by typing in my password incorrectly twice for a new email account, and think they have all been saved in the password manager... so now, everytime when I try to log in, three passwords will come up for me to choose.... really annoying, how can I delete the wrong passwords?? Please help

Reading between the lines (...the word entire gave me a much needed clue) I realized that both my wife and I had passwords to this website and I needed to delete both sets of lines. After months of not thinking of this system quirk it's now done. Thanks.
Of course, I had been clicking on the entire line, username-website-password, but it hadn't been working. I had given up months ago but now just felt lucky to try again.
Ciao!

Looking for a good Password Manager App for the iPhone

I'm looking for a good and reliable Password Manager App for the iPhone with sync capabilities on macs. I've read several reviews on several different apps on iTunes, and either they don't work properly, or they're a rip off, or they just don't sync or all of the above. Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

I've been very happy with 1Password, though I haven't used the iPhone component (not having an iPhone).

I'm looking for a simple, secure password manager. Any thoughts

Been browsing the Apple store for a password manager.There is a couple highly rated ones.But wanted to expand my search.

Hi Mark,
No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.

After updating to the new browser, my password managing program could not work any longer. I had to go back to the previous version but was wondering when this can be fixed?

RoboForm password manager stopped working when I updated to the latest version of Firefox. I will contact them as well but I am using rf version 6 and would have to pay (again) to update that program to version 7. This is a vital program because I use a lot of different sites and really would like to continue to use with the Firefox browser.

Thanks for your help. I had already done the "forget this device" but had forgotten about the part of entering the passcode with the keyboard in order to pair. I found my instruction sheet after I posted my cry for help and when I did the pairing procedure right, it worked. It's weird that it decided to unpair itself. Both my husband and our daughter have the same keyboard and neither of them have had this happen. At least now I know what to do if it happens in the future.

My Password Manager icon has disapeared from my toolbar and no longer works. I have checked all settings with no luck in getting it to reappear.

The password manager has disappeared (icon and all) and no matter what I can't get it back & running. I have checked tools/security and all is set as should be.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Just discovered it this A.M.

This Nightly feedback, Steganos password Manager drop and drag functionality no longer works after last update.

Cut and paste still works but the drop and drag so longer works.
This for Nightly Beta 64 bit.

I too have the problem: W7 64 bit. Drag and drop worked until yesterday when I "upgraded" to FF v 26.0 - I can no longer drag passwords etc from my password manager to website fields - a barred circle appears when I try to drag.
I tried pressing ESC (one profferred solution) and also reset FF to no avail.
This is more than annoying: some of my passwords are dozens of characters long and there's no way I can access sites by typing them in! I need a solution, even if it's reverting to a previous version.
