A simple encrypted storage solution for saving passwords.
Alternate Password DB is a basic password manager developed by AlternateTools. It basically stores text behind BLOWFISH 256-bit encryption in a database file.
The interface of Alternate Password DB is pretty basic and allows you to input text, username and password combinations and table. It can also save entries into separate folders. The application can also convert its database in to an EXE file which is useful for usage as a portable application on an USB stick.
