Autodecrement Patch

Anonymous — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 21:58:37 -0000

Here's a patch to make PalmKey automatically decrement the count each time you calculate a response:

password not masked

Anonymous — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 17:40:05 -0000

When entering password, anyone looking over one's
shoulder can see it on the Palm device.

Suggestion: a checkbox, which defaults to checked,
which hides the password, similar to the method that
KeyRing uses. (http://gnukeyring.sourceforge.net/)

PalmKey rejects special characters in seed

Pandu Rao — Sat, 02 Aug 2003 00:26:10 -0000

PalmKey rejects special characters (such as '-') in
the seed.

e.g., One of the server I log into has a '-'(s-foo
say) in its host name. So the seed looks like x-23768.
This seed is not valid per PalmKey but is valid per
ther server.

PalmKey must allow all characters which make for a
legal hostname and by extension legitimate seeds.

Overall, a useful application. Keep up the good work!

enlarge passphrase field

IKEDA Shigeru — Sat, 19 Apr 2003 15:03:07 -0000

I usually use rather longer passphrase. So I wanna
wider field for passphrase. I attached proposed patch.
HTH.

P.S.
otp-sha1 doesn't work for me as well.

otp-sha1 not working?

Anonymous — Wed, 26 Dec 2001 05:14:36 -0000

While setting up skey on a NetBSD system, I tested
PalmKey, Pilot/OTP, and PilOTP. The NetBSD system,
Pilot/OTP, and PilOTP all agree on a one time
password when using sha1, but I get a different result for
PalmKey.

I double-checked the secret which I entered (it
was entered via pasting for all of the palm apps),
along with the count and seed, so I don't think
there's a problem with misinput on my end.

Have you had any similar reports?

I'm using PalmKey 0.9.0.

Option to retain the passphrase

Anonymous — Sun, 04 Nov 2001 02:34:04 -0000

How about only displaying the passphrase while it is
being written, and then obscuring it once the 'Compute'
button is pushed? This is the way pilOTP works.

Quick way to decrement the counter

Anonymous — Sun, 04 Nov 2001 02:31:03 -0000

As the count usually needs to be reduced by 1 as
opposed to a new value being put in, how about a little
down arrow or something to quickly decrement the count
without having to manually write in the new digit?

Copy function for generated response

Anonymous — Fri, 08 Jun 2001 13:00:36 -0000

I use the palm to connect to a SKey protected host and
it would help immensely if I had not to re-enter the
entire key via the graffiti area.

Save seed/count for different systems

Anonymous — Mon, 14 May 2001 09:41:19 -0000

I would suggest a popdown list with systems such that
the seed and last count is displayed quickly. This
way it is easier to use different system.
