Name: GNU Keyring 1.0
 Author: Martin Pool  Description: This is my favorite Palm password database program. It's exactly what I would have written if I had been born smarter. It's GPL so the source has been reviewed (I guess that's important with encryption stuff). It has an awesome password generator function too - check out the 20 char password in the screenshot. There's a preview of a conduit for it but I just load the program and the database in the emulator on my desktop and get to my passwords that way. |

Name: Strip 1.0
Author: Zetetic Enterprises
 Description: Strip (Secure Tool for Recalling Important Passwords) is another great password database proggy. It too is open source and features very good encryption and a nice password generator. The only problem I have with it and the reason I choose GNU Keyring over it is that it kind of confuses me when I go to input an account. People are different though and you might like it better - it's definitely worth a try. |

Name: Yaps 2.4
Author: MSB Software Engineering
Description: Yaps (Yet Another Password Safe) is pretty good too. It's not GPL and it doesn't have a password generator but other than that I like it. There's a commercial or shareware or something desktop viewer but I'd just stick with the emulator if I used Yaps but I don't so who cares what I think. |

Name: Secure Memo Pad 1.1
Author: Certicom
Description: Special thanks to JN for this program! Secure Memo Pad is a replacement for the standard Palm Memo Pad that adds the ability to encrypt selected memo's. The first time you use the app a key is generated that is stored in the saved preferences of the palm so if something happens to them you cannot open your encrypted memos. This is the only problem I have with it and it's not that big a deal - back up often. |

Name: CryptoPad 3.64
Author: Maxime Labelle Description: There's a version 4.xx of this program too but I don't like it as much - the menus do some funky greyscale thing but it looks OK in color on the emu. Anyhoo, it's basically the same thing as Secure Memo Pad except that it's still being developed and supported. It also has a couple of desktop companions, one for Winderz and one for Linux. It stores it's stuff in it's own DB but also reads unencrypted memos from the standard Memo Pad database. There's a v2.23 as well. |

Name: CCrypt 2.5.2
Author: Mike McCollister
Description: This app is no longer on the author's site or on PGHQ so I don't know the status. It allows you to encrypt and decrypt strings to and from the Palm clipboard. It's pretty neat especially for info that doesn't go well in memo pad. I encrypted an email address in my address book. When I did it the first time I didn't check the ASCII Armor box and it reset my palm - worked fine with AA checked. I guess the encryption puts chars in that can't be handled and AA fixes it - something like that. |

Name: Cipher 2.0.3
Author:
Description: This critter does the same thing that CCrypt does (encrypt and decrypt text) but it's a lot more automatic. I'm not sure exactly why but I still like CCrypt a little better but don't get me wrong this app is very good. I guess something's wrong when you sync to Outlook but it passed my email in the Palm address book test so I'm happy with the output (I don't use Outlook). I figure it's probably the ASCII thing though. |

Name: Secret 2.0
Author: LinkeSOFT GmbH
Description: Secret 2.0 is the older freeware version of Andreas Linke's Secret! encrypted storage app. This app isn't designed to replace the memo pad or anything it's instead designed to be a seperate app to hold all your secret stuff. It's a really great piece of software and the shareware version is even better along with it's desktop companion. |
