MeePasswords is a simple application to securely store confidential data such as passwords and the like. The aim of MeePasswords is to provide a simple and intuitive to use user interface. MeePasswords uses 256 bit AES encryption and protects the encrypted data via a user configurable "master password".

There are already some tools for storing passwords available for Fremantle. Though, I could not find any tool for Harmattan. Hence I created MeePasswords. Furthermore, MeePasswords features some eye candy such as animated transitions and the like. Generally, the design goal of the MeePasswords user interface was to allow quick and easy interaction.

MeePasswords was initially developed for Harmattan. The Fremantle version was then ported based on the Harmattan version. The Fremantle version tries to mimic / resemble the behavior and look and feel of the Harmattan version.

Technically the Fremantle version als runs on "common" desktop operating systems. Though, I did not create packages for desktop OS yet. Essentially, I use this version to speed up the development but this is just a side note.

You can install MeePasswords from extras-devel. Unfortunately it seems that it will not be possible to promote MeePasswords to extras-testing in the near future. This is because MeePasswords uses the experimental Qt version which are restricted to extras-devel for now. The reason for this is due to a really strange bug which happens with the "stock" Qt version that ships with PR 1.3 but does not occur with the experimental Qt version.

You can find more information including some Screenshots and the MeeGo / Harmattan version of MeePasswords at:

As always, comments and feedback are highly appreciated.


Edit: Please note that I made a minor change to the way the data is stored in the first official release (1.0.0) as compared to the "experimental" versions before 1.0.0 (namely 0.9.0 and 0.9.0-1). This yields in the situation that data stored with the 0.9.x versions cannot be read with the 1.0.0+ versions.
Please be sure to install versions from 1.0.0 up. The way the data is stored is stable since 1.0.0 so there will be no problems with interoperability from this version on.
If you absolutely do require to read data stored with the 0.9.x versions please let me know. I would then implement an automatic "format conversion" mechanism.

Edit: I also submitted MeePasswords to the MeeGo Coding Competition 2011:

Edit:
Well, it has been a long time since I didn't update this post. Nonetheless, the ones who followed this thread know that the development was not stuck.
Thanks to all who voted for MeePasswords in last years coding competition. MeePasswords scored the first place in its category.

In the meantime version 1.9.2 is out. This version fixes a critical bug that could yield in complete data loss. Thanks alot to titou1234 for finding and reporting this issue!I am currently working on getting this version into apps.formeego.org testing. Edit: The new version 1.9.2 is in testing for apps.formeego.org.
What is also completely new: MeePasswords is also available for Mer/Nemo. To install it in Mer/Nemo simply add my download repository via zypper and then install MeePasswords also via zypper:
Code:
zypper ar http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/wonko/CE_MW_MTF_CE_MW_Shared_armv7hl/home:wonko.repo
zypper in meepasswords
Note that you will be asked if you want to use my download repository. This is because it is not signed yet.
