Release Notes
Echo Password Manager is written in Microsoft © Visual Basic 6.0. It is being developed under the MS Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Version 2002) using Internet Explorer 7 (beta 2). I am releasing the source code to EchoPWM "as is", I will not take any responsibility for anything that might happen to you computer if you download and use this source code. There are custom controls, which are all freeware, that this program uses, I have included all of the controls, you may however, have to register the controls on your computer in order for them to function correctly (I would suggest you take all of the referenced controls in the "Components & Resources" folder within the zip file and copy them to your "\Windows\System32" directory to work properly). This code is somewhat uncommented, and unfinished. I am releasing the source exactly where I last left of working on it. Not all of the functions are complete, and you might possibly get compiler errors when trying to execute the code. This does not mean the code doesn't work, it is just unfinished.

I am releasing the source to Echo PWM for two reasons. First, I would like to help any and all other programmers learn something, and have the ability to use my code. Second, the main reason I am doing this, is most good programs have a team of developers working together. I hope there are other, better programmers than myself that would be interested in helping out with the project. If you are interested in working on the project please, download the code and e-mail me. I would definitely like to combine ideas and code to create a better program.

I will keep up to date with releasing news, as well as program updates, code changes, re-written code, etc. below. I will give all credit where credit is due. I will also add any ones comments to the blog. Thank you!

"I have been working on the Echo Password Manager project for a little over now. I have had a tremendous amount of fun developing this little piece of software. This project started out as just something to kill time during my days off from work. It turned into almost an obsession of mine, I have spent well 2000 hours sitting in front of my laptop, writing code. I never thought anyone else would have a use for my program, I certainly never imagined it would be used all over the world and be translated into different languages. Although I am not stopping development, I do not have as much free time as I once did, I simply cannot sit around and write code all day long. So...I am making officially Echo Password Manager Open Source." - Chris Holmes

Development Updates

Date: October 12, 2006

Details: Initial release of source code. I am currently stuck on how to prevent the password manager from finding values in hidden input boxes in HTML forms, causing it to ask you to save your password or fill your password information for information that is not actually able to have an input, or even visible to the user. Some examples include www.ebay.com and www.t-mobile.com. This would be found in the frmMain > IEWin_DocumentComplete and IEWin_NavigationBegin sub routines.
