Security Apps Support

Hey, all. I tried to search the forums for a previous discussion about this and didn't see anything that seemed relevant.

What kind of performance hit (if any) could I expect if I opt to run VeraCrypt Portable off the same portable USB drive as the location of the vault itself? Just curious to know if read/write performance would be significantly better if VC were installed on each system instead.

If this has come up before, a pointer to the topic would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

After the upgrade to 2.6.0 via the PortableApps Platform, KeepassXC does not start any more.
The Windows' spinning circle appears for a short time, but other than that, nothing happens.
In the task manager, KeepassXC is shortly visible, then disappears.

Windows 10, 64bit, "E:\PortableApps"

Is anyone else having problems to get the latest KeePass Pro version v2.45 via the PortableApps Platform Update ?

I've installed version v2.44 at the following path on a USB-Stick: S:\PortableApps\PortableApps\KeePassProPortable

The ‘Check For Updates’ function does not trigger any downloads. I'm getting the message that ‘All portable apps are up to date’.

The link to download PeerBlock is down!

Hi there,

the old default setting was "lock workstation afer 600seconds" or something like that.

Over the time that default setting was changed without informing the users, so some users may still expect the app to lock itself when leaving the workstation

my suggestion would be to change that default setting back to auto-lock

Greetings

I'm am in need of finding out and understand what the secret messages

By default, PWGen attempts to access the internet as soon as it is run.

This is (hopefully) just its update mechanism.

I recommend applying a default setting to disable the update mechanism.

I have Portable Thunderbird (60.9.1) installed with GPG Portable (2.2.19) installed into the ...\App\gpg\ subfolder of Thunderbird Portable.

This is somewhat recent, perhaps the last month or so.

Dialog looks like:

Erik,
I really enjoy you eraserDropPortable, thanks.
I have
v2.1.0.0
it was win10pro
it had 120GB ssd

does it erase (delete and overwrite) files and folders from SSD in the same FUNCTIONALITY as it does from HDD's?

The new ECC cv and ed 25519 keys I created with Kleopatra work fine in my laptop but when using portable thunderbird with the portable gpg installed, those new keys are not being imported. There is no error or anything, they don't get imported and nothing else happens. Is it something I am doing or something wrong in the portable of something? Is there something I need to do that I am not doing?

Thank you.
