Would anyone like to beta test my new app? It saves and generates all your passwords for you by encrypting them using the Blowfish Object. If anyone would like to test, i'd like you to let me know:-
1. How easy you found the app to use
2. How secure you thought the data was (try and have a go cracking the app)
3. Do you think the app is missing anything?
4. What you didn't like about the app
Anyone who does beta test and provides me with the feedback above, will be sent a free full copy of the app once it goes live.
If anyone is interested, please either leave your email address here or PM me.
Bruce Schneier now recommends against the use of Blowfish. In December 2007, he said, "At this point, though, I'm amazed it's still being used. If people ask, I recommend Twofish instead."
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -

The problem is that Blowfish is old encryption, and techniques to crack it have been around for quite a while now. Time to use some NEWER, MORE SAFE encryption.
Note that Blowfish encryption isn't something MMF-specific, so it's been played around a lot with (by hackers etcetera).
