I’m currently using Edash’s “got password” and like it very much due to the way in which I can call it up with a double click of my control key. This brings up a gui list that I can scroll down to the one I want and have an entry for user name, password and the URL where I need to input user name and password. Sliding my mouse cursor over to the URL loads my default web browser, takes me there and the same method is used to enter user name and password which works very well for me. Will KeePassX ever have these features as they are so convenient?
Edash has not updated their software in 5 years and apparently nobody is home on their web site any longer. “got password” needs to be further developed to work on Vista and Windows 7 which frustrates me terribly. I can still use it but it is far less convenient the way it functions. I wish that I could find another password manager that worked in a similar manner. Thanks in advance for your input on my situation.
