Hide your passwords in plain sight with Safe Calculator?
Are you the kind of person that thinks hiding your valuables in a hollowed-out book is a pretty sweet idea? If so, Safe Calculator is a Windows program that should be right up your alley.On the surface, it appears to be the plain old Windows calculator - it's even got the full scientific mode. Oh, but it's so much more than that. Punch in your super-secret PIN and it switches to password store mode. At last, an app that allows me live out my fantasy of being a top-secret covert operative!
Safe Calculator is designed to travel with you on your USB flash drive. It's portable and the author states that stored files are encrypted, though he doesn't clarify what method is used. AES? Blowfish? Pig Latin?
Quite honestly, I don't think any of you are going to stop using something like KeePass, LastPass, or RoboForm and switch to Safe Calculator. It's just so quirky that I had to share it with you.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to hide all my cash in box of Kraft Dinner with a false bottom.

No, No, No! How many times do I have to go over this. Your cash goes in the hollow base of the table lamp in the bedroom. Jewelry goes in the sock puppet sitting on the floor in the living room. Your stocks and bonds go in the Kraft Dinner box!

I used to work in a video store where we kept the night's cash in one of the empty rental boxes behind the counter. This was back in the day when you used to have to take the empty box off the shelf and bring it to the counter to get the tape. It worked great.
