 LuxSci has re-written its web-based Password management interface from the ground up to provide users with a fast, modern, featureful experience. The WebAides Passwords user interface now matches that of WebMail, Address Books, Calendars, and User Groups in AJAX-based Web 2.0 speed, data caching, and usability.
The Passwords WebAide provides:
- PGP-Encrypted online storage for all of the user names, passwords, and related information that most people have in abundance for logging in to countless web sites and devices. Every entry is separately encrypted using PGP. The PGP certificates are imported by you and/or generated by LuxSci. There is no need for the passwords to these PGP keys to ever be stored on LuxSci’ servers. This is a secure online solution.
- Shared access — you can have detailed control of who in your account, if anyone, can decrypt and access which passwords.
- Associated encrypted notes and attachments with each password so that you can store additional related information.
Consider LuxSci’s WebAide Passwords to be an “Online Lockbox” where you can securely store and share all of your passwords. This Lockbox can be accessed from anywhere that you have Internet access. The major changes that come along with these user interface enhancements include:

 We recently discussed email security for accountants and mentioned that the use of password-protected files is not usually a very good solution for meeting data privacy needs. After writing this and getting some feed back, we thought that the issue of password-protected files really deserves some further discussion. Many people are under the assumption that if they use the “password protection” features of whatever software they are using, that their data is safe and secure. However, this is not necessarily the case. Why?
Using password-protected files to secure data is fast and easy and built into many applications. Why not use it? Certainly, password protecting files is much better than not doing so. However, there are several things that determine how secure these “protected” files really are.

 LuxSci has allowed use of OpenIDs provided by third parties for access to user accounts since December. Proper use of OpenIDs can make logging into sites such as LuxSci both faster and more secure.
Now, LuxSci is also an OpenID Provider. This means that you can create an OpenID based on your existing LuxSci account that can be used as a single sign on to any other web site that supports OpenID.

LuxSci’s web site control panel now enables administrators to easily define users with passwords and user groups for managing access to their web sites. Administrators can use this interface to specify which users and/or user groups have read-only and/or read-write access to any directories in their web sites. Different web site directories can have different access controls.

When logging into LuxSci’s standard WebMail portal, users can now optionally use a visual keyboard to enter their password via their mouse rather than typing it in using their regular keyboard. This is be helpful to those using untrusted computers — computers, such as those in Internet Cafes, that may be infected with spyware which could be capturing all of their keystrokes. Use of the visual keyboard can help mitigate the possibility that spyware programs running on your computer could capture your password.
