Perhaps it’s because LastPass has been in the news—the company has recently been purchased by LogMeIn—we’ve gotten some inquiries as to how one can import LastPass data in STRIP. It’s pretty easy:
1. Log in to your LastPass Vault
2. Click on Tools > Export
3. Save the file and open it with a text or spreadsheet editor
4. Rename “name” to “Entry” and “grouping” to “Category“
Note that Entry and Category are capitalized. Save your changes and close the file.
STRIP is a password manager and data vault. But much more than that, STRIP offers a flexible data model, cross platform sync, excellent customer service, and a high standard of data encryption. The history of STRIP began back in 1998 as an app for the Palm OS. Ever since then, STRIP has been advancing with its full database encryption using AES-256, user interface, and additional features which make it stand out. It is important to note that this is a standalone application: no account registration needed. Your data is yours to keep. Even when you sync, your data is fully encrypted and can remain cloudless if you sync over wifi. This video gives an overview of what STRIP is and dives into it’s features.
As always, if there are any questions, concerns, issues, or feedback please let us know.
A hacker conference that’s all about passwords, PIN codes, and digital authentication.
We are excited to announce that we are sponsoring and attending Passwords 15 this August 4th and 5th in Las Vegas! It’s an annual conference held alongside the BSides hacker conference which brings together some of the brightest minds in the field—among them password crackers, researchers, and security experts.
Representing us will be two members of our development team, Micah Moore and Billy Gray. If you’re attending as well, don’t be shy, say hello. This is our third year attending Passwords; last year we sponsored the conference and delivered two talks ourselves. Here’s the one we gave on enhancing password-based key derivation techniques:
This year we’re just going to take it all in. The talks are really engaging, some demonstrate cutting-edge cracking techniques and delve into theory while others try to make sense of all the research out there and address wider issues. BSides is of the same caliber: there’s never a dull moment, and the pool party isn’t bad, either ;) Hope to see you there!
Hello readers. STRIP, our password manager, has a helpful feature named Secret Agent that makes it easy to access data stored in STRIP from other apps. We created a demonstration video on how to use Secret Agent effectively and we wanted to share it with you and describe the feature a bit more.
Ever get to a website login page and sigh at the annoyance of typing in your username and password? You don’t have to with Secret Agent. Just use the global keyboard shortcut to bring up the search bar. Search for your entry and hit enter, then select the field you want and hit enter again. Secret Agent will automatically fill in the field–without the need for an additional browser plugin. This works on more then just browsers: you can insert data from STRIP in any app using Secret Agent.
How to set it up:
On Windows go to File/Preferences/ Check off “Run Secret Agent at Windows Login”
On OS X go to STRIP/Preferences/General Check off “Enable Secret Agent with keyboard command”
NOTE FOR OS X USERS: Make sure user script is at the correct path: ~/Library/Application\ Scripts/net.zetetic.Strip.mac/
How to use it:
At a prompt you can use the hotkeys to bring up the search bar. These are the default keys which we recommend, but you’re free to change it to your liking.
Windows: Shift + Control + Backslash
OS X: Shift + Command + Backslash
Search for your entry. Hit enter on the field you want to fill. Make sure your insertion cursor (blinking vertical line) is on the field you want to fill before calling Secret Agent. When you call it again it will start from where you last left off incase your filling in multiple fields. Else, you can just start typing and it will search. Once you get the hang of it logging in becomes impressively quick, leaving on-lookers curious as to how you were able to login in so quickly without touching your mouse or typing all that much.
As always, if there are any issues please let us know.
If you take a look at the iTunes App Store US reviews for STRIP for iPhone, you’ll see this sentiment in a number of the more recent ones:
It’s a good app, however it’s missing a big thing here which other security apps have…simply NOT supporting “Touch ID” …whyyy!! Once this integrated will pump up the rate to 5*
I hope we’ve finally earned that fifth star, Kokiiiz78! Today we’re excited to announce that Touch ID authentication is now available in STRIP for iPhone and STRIP for iPad version 2.5.0.
The feature is optional, disabled by default, and simple to use.
To enable Touch ID authentication:
Update STRIP to 2.5.0
Login to STRIP and tap on the Settings view tab
On the Settings view tap on Login Settings
Tap on the switch labeled “Enable Touch ID login”
You may be prompted to authenticate with your Touch ID by iOS
That’s it! The next time you are asked to login to STRIP you will be prompted for your Touch ID
As an aside, this feature works nicely in conjunction with the Auto Lock Timer preference, which allows you to keep STRIP unlocked for a chosen interval.
Changes in this version:
Provides new “Enable Touch ID login” feature under Settings -> Login Settings
Search view now searches your records as you type
Password Generator view maintains state when leaving STRIP
Additional changes to the iPad version:
Fixes search bar disappearing when tapped twice quickly
Thanks so much to our beta testers for helping us to identify bugs and edge cases early in the process. Your efforts and repeatedly installing beta builds over the last month really helped us as we vetted this version for release.
As always, if there are any issues please let us know. If you’d like to tell us what you think consider stopping by our discussion forum.
