Re: PasswordSafe enhancement suggestion

Hi Peter,

Thanks for writing.

If I understand you correctly, then recent versions of PasswordSafe have
the feature you're describing. Just click on the "Override Policy" checkbox
under the "Generate" button in the Add or Edit dialogs. This will invoke the
Password Policy dialog for the current entry.

Is this what you were looking for? If not, can you explain in more detail?

Cheers,

  Rony

Subject: PasswordSafe enhancement suggestion

Hi Rony,

A problem I occasionally encounter is that some un-enlightened 
organisations demand insecure passwords, namely upper and lower case 
only, perhaps sometimes with digits.

It would be helpful if PasswordSafe were to permit a variation on the 
password policy from within the Edit/Create password dialogue - 
obviously on a per password basis only. Presently one has to back out of 
the editing dialogue and change the entire policy via 
Manage>Options>Password Policy and then restore it after creating a new 
entry.

Just a thought.

Best wishes.

Peter HB
