Corporeal
Corporeal is a password manager, somewhat inspired by
KeePass Password Safe.
It strives to keep it's UI simple and straightforward. Rather than using
a category system, passwords are organized in a flat list,
a search/filter function making sure you'll find the one you need.
All the core functionality you would expect is there.
Import from and export to KeePass XML files is supported
(which in turn can export to a variety of formats),
so you'll be able to take your passwords elsewhere if you decide
that Corporeal is not for you after all.
So are your passwords secure? Reasonably secure, yes. If you want to
protect classified information, this is not the tool to do the job.
Otherwise, it might be. See the
security section below and decide for yourself.
The source code is available under a GPL license, see the
download section.

security
Security features that are implemented:
-
The password store file is encrypted using the
AES/Rijndael
blockcipher, with a key size of 256 bit, and a block size of 128 bit.
-
The key used to encrypt the store is a
SHA-256 hash derived from the
password provided by the user.
-
The password edit controls do intercept the
WM_CUT, WM_COPY, WM_GETTEXT, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH and
EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR messages and do not allow other
applications to retrieve the password that way.
-
The workspace automatically locks itself and closes the current
store file after a certain amount of inactivity. You will
have to enter the password again to gain access.
Security features that are (currently) not implemented:
-
No in-memory protection of any kind, at all!
An attacker will be able to extract the passwords, usernames, and
other data of the current and previously opened store files from
the process memory space while Corporeal is running, and
potentially afterwards. This can even be possible if the
store is closed/locked, or other store files have been loaded in the
meantime.
If you are using a NT-based operating system, running Corporeal
with Administrator privileges (while you yourself are not) can in
part protect you against this.
-
KeePass tries to protect against dictionary attacks
using multiple key transformation rounds
before the actual encrypting/decryption of the database takes
place. Corporeal does not do this.

localization
Currently, the interface supports the following langagues:
If you want to help adding more languages to that list, download the
template file, translate it
using a tool like PoEdit or
PoTranslator, and
email me the resulting .po file.
I'll include it in the next release, giving you proper credit, of course.
To test your translation, copy the compiled .mo file to to the following
location, creating directories as necessary:
{Corporeal Directory}\locale\xx\LC_MESSAGES\default.mo
Replace xx with the language code, e.g. "de", "fr" etc.
