Secret Server 5.0 is currently under development, and one of the features that we know for sure that will be in 5.0 is searching Secret Fields. This has been a popular request. We had several obstacles to achieve this, and we have implemented a solution that is secure but effective. The search works by Secret Server creating an index catalog for ...

Here is a new feature coming in Secret Server 4.1 - it is the visual keyboard and is a configurable option for the login screen.  It is designed to thwart malware such as keyloggers which could be running on a public computer and could capture your password if you entered it using the keyboard.  The visual keyboard uses a different ...

One of the most requested features in Secret Server is theming. I have seen several customers skin Secret Server to fit their company's colors and logo. The only down side to that is, when Secret Server is updated, all of those nice changes were lost. A feature that we will be releasing soon is Custom Themes. It goes beyond just changing the style ...

Salting fixes the issue where if there are two secret fields that are identical, they would look identical in the database. Now with salting, data that is the same doesn’t appear the same in the database when encrypted. Everything that ...

Here is a screenshot from the new Secret Type Designer in development!  It will allow you to build your own type of secrets so that you can customize it for your industry and business.  There is still more work to be done on this screen but hopefully you get the idea. e are also working on a mechanism to allow you to share these ...

Yesterday John and I implemented importing any Secret Type.  Secret Server 1.1 currently supports importing Web Passwords (Username, Password, Url, Notes) which is useful but sometimes you just want to import passwords. The new feature allows you to select the Secret Type to import (yes, this will work with custom Secret Types that you have ...

Shiva has been working on a new feature which will allow you to customize how long Remember Me lasts.  What is Remember Me?  It is the little checkbox on the login screen that remembers who you are so that you don't have to login everytime.  This is a great convenience but as always in the security versus convenience ...

After much debate (amongst the team) and some great feedback from Keith Barrows, we have implemented a soft delete in Secret Server.  Why the soft delete instead of a real delete?  Secret Server is designed to be rock solid, secure, trustworthy and *auditable*.  It gets hard to keep an audit if some information just isn't ...
