Duh. The password generator well, sucks. With an average NIST bit entropy of 30 (default settings) these passwords can be cracked in about 2 weeks at 1000 guesses a second on an average new home computer. Take a distributed network of thousands and it will take mere hours. Why not auto-generate passphrases? It's just as easy to implement... They also say that It has in-built AntiPasswordSpy code which will remove the threat of your passwords being revealed providing you with a powerful shield against all key-loggers. But in the detailed description it says Another very useful feature is Anti Password Spy protection that prevents your passwords to be read from '*****' secretly. That's not the same. Reading a GUI control is one thing, logging keyboard strokes something entirely different. It just seems to transliterate some special keys like TAB to a printable character. Well, that's an extra layer of complexity but not impossible to reverse engineer. Also, if I hook into the keyboard directly and not the GUI control the protection fails. Still, nice feature. The 'save password in image file' is also a nice feature. But why only support BMP? PowerKey uses steganography to embed the data, so theoretically it can support all image formats. You don't even need special image libraries, just open the file in binary mode and go for it. the fastest work is achieved with the REALTIME PRIORITY, only note that such speed-ups usually slow down the work of other programs. That's the worst advice I've heared in a long time. It won't just 'slow down the work of other programs', it will very likely bork your system completely and BSOD on you at the end. CPU-intensive IO operations should never be run at realtime priority level. For this alone you are thumbed down. Uninstalled. There's much better software in this category, both free and not free.
