Handango is being more generous this week by offering (http://www.handango.com/HandangoHolidayPromo.jsp?siteId=1&platformId=1) Passwords Plus by DataViz for free. Passwords Plus allows you to store your PINs, usernames, credit card numbers, web logins and more securely on your PalmOS device. Use Passwords Plus on your PC , Mac, Palm OS or Pocket PC handheld and don't let your secure personal information fall into the wrong hands. :)
Note that this free PalmOS offer also includes the desktop component (a USD $29.99 value).

Interesting read. Not that we needed yet another reason to
boycott handango of course ;)

Apparently, it looks like Dataviz is stepping up to the plate and offering Passwords Plus after all.
http://www.dataviz.com/eforms/sales/pwphand.html
They'll give you a promo code to get Passwords Plus for free and new registration code once you re-download Passwords Plus.
I'm sure they know that it's bad publicity to let fester.

I for one, would never trust an application that used encryption without the ability to audit it.
What encryption standards are they using, if any? 3DES? MD4? MD5? AES? SHA-1? None? Something they invented themselves?
How do we know it isn't something lame like: XOR + "Handango" * piWithout the ability to audit it (and a way to retrieve the data from the desktop, in some platform-independent way), there's no trust. Without trust, there's no way my own data is going to get stored in it.
