clickstudios — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 06:14:16 +0000

Hi Everyone,

Available immediately is version 4.2 of Passwordstate, which includes the following changes:

New - Added feature whereby access to multiple Shared Password Lists can be administered for a user, instead of individually (Ref 42.01)
New - Supports new Registration Key format (Ref 42.02)
New - Added copy password to clipboard feature (this also adds an audit record) (Ref 42.03)
Fix - Improved error checking for NTFS file permissions (Ref 42.04)

For customers wishing to upgrade from version 4.0 or 4.1, please follow these instructions:

Backup your Passwordstate4 database
Download the latest copy of Passwordstate from here – http://www.clickstudios.com.au/downloads/passwordstate.zip
Take a copy of the web.config file
Uninstall Passwordstate from Control Panel (please note your database will not be touched during the uninstall)
Once uninstalled, reinstall Passwordstate
Replace the web.config file from step 3
Restart the Windows Service ‘Passwordstate Service’
If you have modified the standard ‘passwordstate4’ cname DNS entry for the web site, or configured the web site to use a SSL certificate, you will need to redo these steps
Navigate to Passwordstate in your web browser (if you’re currently running version 4.0, you will be prompted for a small update to the database)

We hope you enjoy the new version of Passwordstate, and we thank you for your kind support.

Kind Regards

PS2011 Dev Update 2 – Copy to Clipboard

clickstudios — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 06:36:54 +0000

Back in version 2.0 of Passwordstate we had the functionality whereby you could click on a graphic in the grid view, and it would copy the password value to the clipboard.

Since then, Microsoft, Mozilla and other browser developers have worked hard to secure their browsers, which resulted in the removal of the ‘copy to clipboard’ feature.

After a little bit of effort, we’re able to provides this functionality again, as well as adding an ‘audit’ record every time a user copies a password to the clipboard. We’ve included an image to show you what it looks like.
