Password storage with encryption
  • BigChiefBigChief
    Great product and thanks for the hard work.  I'm a heavy PuttyCM user who is sick of the lack of updates.

    Would it be possible to include password storage along with encryption like PuttyCM?  I looked around but was unable to find any reference to this functionality for SuperPutty.

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure how I feel about this.  This opens up the ability for someone to get ahold of your SuperPutty database and get your passwords (or hashes).  That being said, I have created an issue for it at github since it is a requested feature.

    Personally, I'd setup sshkeys, but or a combination of SuperPutty + KeePass.

    That would be great.  I have some boxes which I can't use keys on, and I've tried KeePass but never really liked it.

    Using AES would offer a modicum of protection - there would still be a single weakness (the master password) but a bunch of apps take this approach, such as PuttyCM, WinSCP, Firefox etc.

    Thanks!

    I understand, but I also don't store passwords I care about in any of the programs you listed either :) Personal preference I guess.

    I am new to SuperPutty here.

    It would be great to see an option to save the password. I keep having to reboot machines and login again regularly as part of some testing I do for the network here.
    Since my network is detached from the rest of the world, and the firmware gets reset regularly, security is not an issue for me.
