But I think that you'll agree that Java generally adds an overhead memory footprint and launching speed, and a lot of people don't even have JRE installed. Nevertheless, if someone could convince me that Lockcrypt was vastly superior to Keepass, for example, then I wouldn't have any problem adopting it instead (despite being java). That was my only point. And I still say that a comparison would be nice (I know, I could do it myself, but that's also the kind of point of sites like these, right) @gokudomatic

The interface on LockCrypt seems slightly nicer looking, but Keepass has a larger choice of encryption algorithms and a plugin architecture which increases its functionality (and is not Java). Any chance of a comparison? How does this compare to the open source KeePass, which has been around for a long time and seems to have much of the same capabilities.

Download the 312kb file, keep it on your desktop and use it either of 2 ways: drag & drop text files onto the LockNote icon (it will create an encrypted .exe file out of the original text file), or double-click LockNote & create a new plain text document, to be saved as an encrypted .exe file. Fast, free, simple, and effective. I use Steganos LockNote, a free text-file encryption program.

It was just too much hassle for me. What I've been using lately that seems to work well is the "Password Maker" plug-in for Firefox. It creates unique passwords on the fly that is hashed using a master passwords and the parent domain for a site for salting. I'd love your feedback on it. And thanks for all of your hard work!
