Industrial Strength 256-bit AES Encryption
and CryptoAPI Password Saver ensures your passwords are kept secure by implementing strong U.S. government approved 256-bit AES/Rijndael encryption
and all of CryptoAPI algorithms. The amount of time required to crack even a 128-bit AES key, much less a 256-bit key, is estimated to be 149 trillion (thousand-billion) years - a time longer than our universe has existed. Clearly, as long as you don't write down your master password or share it with anyone, your passwords will be secure.
Now all of CryptoAPI algorithms are available in our Password Manager:

Encryption Process  The encryption process is as follows: - The password database is compressed using Zlib compression algorithm.
- A 256-bit digest (SHA256 hash) is generated using the master password.
- The compressed data is encrypted using this digest.
- Password saver encrypts the data again, this time using its own internal password.
To decrypt the database, all you need to do is enter your master password, and Password Saver does the rest! You can also specify a small text hint which will be shown to you in case you forget this password.
