- DESCRIPTION
- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
- This software helps you to remember, type, and easy manage your
- growing list of passwords and access codes.
- The program can fill out login forms automatically (up to three
- entries per time).
- TIP: This auto-type feature could be useful with wordprocessor too:
- instead of passwords you can input frequently used phrases, headings,
- internet adresses, and so on. Airy Secrets will type them for you.
-
- SECURITY
- Airy secrets is a safe for you passwords: your list will be saved
- in an encrypted file (ATECO 3.0), which requires a password to be
- loaded. But now, this is the sole password you have to remember.
-
- The codes never appear on the screen: only their descriptive
- headers are displayed, and the entries are masked with asterisks
- (*****).
-
- HOW IT WORKS
- If Airy Secrets waits in backround, when you are logging to a
- service you need to remember and type nothing, but an hot key,
- and Airy Secrets will fill out the required entries for you.
-
- Like all sorts of Windows applications, this is not 100% secure
- against hakers attacks, hardware and operating system failures,
- so you use it at your own risk.

- UNINSTALL PROCEDURE
- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
- Choose "File" from main menu, then choose "Uninstall...", and
- click [Ok] . The uninstaller will remove the installed files,
- eventual registry keys, and the icons from Start Menu and Desktop.
-
- MANUAL UNINSTALLATION
- You can also do it manually by unchecking "Launched on boot" and
- "Icon..." in Preferences menu, and then by deleting airy.exe and
- airy.ini.
- The program also do not touch the registry unless you check the
- "Launched on boot" option, which add/remove a key in the registry.
- You can found this key in:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
-
- N.B.:
- Airy Secrets does not install files (such as DLLs) in the Windows
- folder, but icons (shortcuts) if the user want them.
- This mean that you don't need to reinstall this program after you
- reinstall or update the operating system. This make very easy to
- uninstall Airy Secrets.

- TUTORIAL
- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
- We attempt to make Airy Secrets as intuitive as possible,
- however the following tutorial will guide you step to step if you
- need some help:
-
- 1- When the program starts, it ask for a password, that is used to load
- the latest list of passwords/access codes (.eco file). Press [Esc] if
- you want to create a new list instead. If A.S. is just installed,
- before the password it (obviously) asks which .eco file to open.
- The bar over the list-box shows the loaded file. If you are filling
- out a new list, the bar is empty: after you save the list, its name
- will appear in the bar.
-
- DATA ENTERING:
- - "Password" menu contains all the available functions, that are
- repeated by the tool-bar. A similar menu is accessible by
- right-clicking the list-box.
- At last you can modify an item in the list with a double-click.
-
- - You cannot copy masked entries by Ctrl+C, however F2 copies the
- first entry of the selected item to the clipboard. This is
- expecially useful if you want to merge two o three items of a
- list created by A.S. 1.x or 2.0 (in these old versions A.S. stored
- login name and password as two separate items).
-
- 2- When you click or activate another application, Airy Secrets automatically
- minimizes and waits background (you can notice its icon in the Windows
- tray-bar). To restore its window (e.g. in order to add or modify an item)
- you have to click its tray-icon. Right click pops up a menu.
-
- 3- As you press the "hot-keys" (they are showed under the list-box), A.S.
- will prepare itself to pass the login information to the current active
- application.
- N.B.: please remeber to avoid hot-keys already in use by the target
- application or you will command it besides to activate A.S.
-
- 4- In the Preferences menu you can decide what A.S. must do when it
- is activated:
- A) it can show your list like a popup menu in which you have to pick
- the item to paste.
- B) it pastes the item that was previously selected in the list-box (if
- no item is selected, the program switches to option A, and shows the
- list-menu). To choose another item, before to press the hot-key, you
- may click the tray-icon, in order to make visible the window of Airy
- Secrets (its control panel).
-
- 5- Airy Secrets "pastes" information by using the keyboard via software.
- There are two modes ("Preferences" menu):
- A) DIRECT MODE: A.S. hit a key per time, until it fills out all the entries
- B) CLIPBOARD MODE: It stores information in the clipboard, then hits
- Ctrl+V. After pasting is complete, the clipboard will be cleared.
-
- We found that direct-mode sometimes works better, however you could choose
- what you prefer.
