Learn How To Hack

Strong passwords should have a significant length and cannot contain normal words. Only random digits and letters of different case. Such passwords are extremely hard to remember and it takes time to enter. But, even strong passwords have their weaknesses. When you type a password, it can be intercepted by a spy program that logs all your keystrokes. Others can see what you type (even if the password field on the screen is masked, the password can be read by buttons you hit on your keyboard.)

Until now, the only solution was to buy a secure token. A secure token is a hardware key that is used instead of or in addition to your normal password authentication. There are two main problems with the hardware solution, though. First, it is expensive. And second, you can use them only with software that has built-in support for this method of authentication.

But, from now on, you can turn any USB flash drive into a secure token! No need to purchase an additional expensive device. All you need is about 2 megabytes of free space on your flash drive or other USB gadget, such as an MP3 player, PDA or even a USB-pluggable mobile handset.

Strong Password



How does it work? Our software, Double Password, installs onto your flash drive. When you type a password, the program intercepts it and converts it into a super-strong password string on-the-fly. You can use simple, easy-to-remember passwords without the risk of being cracked.

Another benefit of using Double Password is that nobody can steal your passwords. Spy programs are useless. Even if someone gets the "weak" password that you type on the keyboard, it means nothing. This password will only work when your USB flash is inserted.

While typical hardware locks will work only with software that supports secure tokens, Double Password works with any software. It simply substitutes your weak password with a strong one.

Double Password can be effectively used to securely lock your Windows account, to protect your laptop and to bring a new level of security to all software that uses password authentication.

    Typing password directly from the keyboard contains tremendous risk, no doubt. Suggestion is really worth appreciating. I am using RoboForm2Go to manage my password. What do you think, Double password is better than roboform2Go?

    Thank you for your informative post.

    Hello Ashik,

    I appreciate your concern over passwords' insecurity in a public environ.

    Let's look at it this way dude-

    I open gmail dot com and this program helps me insert password at Gmail.com .. ok ?

    First of all keeping the pen drive at an insecure place makes ALL my accounts insecure. And suppose if I am working a computer that might have key loggers built in , the automatic keyboard events sent by this program to the Gmail's password box will be logged .

    Howsoever the long my passwords might be, when once entered into the typing box, they are logged as keyboard events.

    Let the pen drive be secured by one central passkey, after all I'll enter the passkey by a keyboard you see, which is very much loggable and insecure. So this product doesn't compel me much ;)
