An excellent question. As soon as you push the "OK" button when adding a password to password wallet, your data is immediately encrypted. The only way for the data to be unlocked is with your password, which only you know.

Although for you to be sure, I can only give you my word that my software makes no attempt to save your password to a secret place, or transfer it somewhere over the Internet without your knowledge. In a way, you just have to trust me.

In addition, if I were to steal your passwords, a clever user would certainly figure it out and that would be really bad for business. And I haven't done all of this work just to throw it all away on something like this. :-)

The only place your "master" password can be stored is in the Mac OS X Keychain, but this can be turned off very easily.

Using the "Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app", navigate to the wallet item you want a password for, double click it, and press "View Password". You will be prompted for your master Keychain password, and then you will be shown your master wallet password.

First, let's not get confused. A bookmarklet is an encrypted web page that is specially encoded in the URL portion of a bookmark. We also call this the WebKit version of PasswordWallet. This is not the same as the native iPhone version of PasswordWallet.

Sometimes when bookmarkletsIt are exported to Safari they get stuck... Meaning they can not be overwritten. The only way to export a new bookmarklet is to delete the old one first. You can delete the old bookmarklet right from inside Safari's bookmarks screen.

Your passwordwallet data is just stored in Documents files on your hard drive, like a TexEdit.app or Microsoft Word document.

1. Open each document in PasswordWallet.
2. Command-click in the titlebar of the document window.
3. Drag down to the folder that contains your document.

The file revealed in the Finder is the one you want to back up.

Bullets can be controlled (toggled) with the "Show Bullets" menu item from the "Wallet" menu.

There are also bullet settings under General and Timings preferences.

To move your data to a new computer we recommend using Apple's Migration Assistant.

Otherwise all you have to do is move (1) the PasswordWallet application and (2) your PasswordWallet data to the new computer.

The PasswordWallet application should be in your Applications folder of your old computer. If you can't find it you'll have to download another copy from the PasswordWallet Web Site

Your PasswordWallet data is stored wherever you saved it. If you don't know where this is:

1. Run PasswordWallet on your old computer and open your data file.
2. Hold down the command-key on your keyboard.
3. Click in the title bar of the PasswordWallet window (where the name of your file appears.)
4. Drag to the folder containing your data file.

PasswordWallet normally auto-types username, tab, password. Auto-typing your username and password on to separate pages is easy!

First, open the record in PasswordWallet for the entry of interest. Then, position the cursor at the end of the username field (or the end of the password field). Then, from the menu at the right, insert a "Pause-Resume" character.

When PasswordWallet encounters this character it will finish auto-typing your username and then start a new auto-typing for the password page. Just push the option-key to "resume" auto-typing!

Parallels has somehow made changes to your Launch Services database. The Launch Services database is where Mac OS X stores information about what programs should open a given URL.

To remedy this, you need to search on Google for instructions to "reset launch services database". We can't support this directly as the reset operation is not condoned by Apple.

Yes, but not in this FAQ. Please try the link below for help with synchronizing to the native iPhone version available from the app store:

And bookmarklet export that saves your data to your Safari bookmarks on your iPhone:

There are two preferences that control this. They're both in the Preferences → General tab, under "File Modifications" Turn off these two preferences:

1. Update Last Modified date when opening a document.
2. Record date and time when accessing an entry.

PasswordWallet stores all of its data in documents on your hard drive. You created this file and saved it to some folder when you first ran PasswordWallet. We do not know where you put this file.

This file may be your Default File (as defined in Preferences → General.) PasswordWallet sets your default file as you save a file when no default file is set. So to reset your default file you can clear it and then save a document.

Your data may be in your Documents folder or even on a server you are not connected to.

If you can't find your file, try doing a search on your system for "passwordWallet4". This is the PasswordWallet file extension.

Yes. But don't forget to lock your keychain! When your keychain is unlocked your wallet will be unlocked.

Before PasswordWallet can access a document's password from the Keychain, the PasswordWallet software must communicate to the system and tell it that it needs the access to the Keychain. This communication sometimes brings up Keychain dialogs, all presented by the system, not PasswordWallet.

However, if you click "Always Allow" when asked, the dialog should never appear again.

Yes! Be sure to visit our Palm PasswordWallet Web Page!

In each entry is a popup menu where you can select a browser to open a URL with. If this value is not set, the system default is used.

PasswordWallet has a preference where you can select your default file. This can be found from the "PasswordWallet" menu, in "Preferences", in the General tab. If you do not define a default file, the first file you save will be set as your default file.

In the URL field place: ssh://username@yourserver.com. Then, leave PasswordWallet's username field blank and only fill in the password field. The password will be the only thing that will be Auto-typed.

Just change your master password from the "Wallet" menu, uncheck "Save in Keychain" and push "OK". You can change your master password to the same password as your old password.

There is no way to gain access to your PasswordWallet if you lost your password. Sorry!

No.

Password lengths may not exceed 73 characters. This is the maximum length for which Selznick Scientific Software, LLC has been granted by the United States Department of Commerce.

Yes! Using PasswordWallet's auto-typing technology, your usernames and passwords can be typed virtually anywhere on the system. Please see instructions for auto-typing from the Help menu within PasswordWallet. It's pretty easy. And addictive. :-)

PasswordWallet moves the cursor from the Username field to the Password field by typing a "tab" character. If there is a button between these fields, and you have your system settings turned on to allow tabbing to buttons, this will not work. To fix this, you can either specify extra tab key characters within your password, or turn off this option.

To the right of the username and password fields within PasswordWallet there is a popup menu that can insert the characters that designate tabs, returns, and other goodies.
