[Proposal Pending] A master password
 

I would like to have on n900 a master password, so all the saved passwords on the browser would show after entering this password.

Also, would be cool to "hide" some photos, then "un-hide" by typing the master password.

Also, a master password to connect via USB.

Why do I want that? My friend got an iPod stolen with a lot of personal information in it (it was the 80gb version) wich is verrry sad.
We can have a lot of important passwords saved on browser (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36451) and everything.

A master password would be a pratical way, since locking device/secure device is for everything and you'll have to do it everytime, a master password can be asked only when people would access information (launch the browser, see photos, try to use USB and so on).

I really love to have it, and be possible to disable it.

Yeah, Great idea :)
I second this one..

I'd like to have it use the same "password" as the whole device as security code when I boot N900 or when it has auto-locked.

So there would be some central database and "server", which would handle passwords for different applications, a password server that is.
Then the password-server would keep encrypted database, which password would be a hash from system security code which the password server application could get from the system when N900 is unlocked. (Maybe someone got it :-)

edit:
When some application would ask for a user+password pair from the password-server, the server would bring a dialog window which would ask something like: "Application Fennec asks a user+password pair for talk.maemo.org. Do you allow or not?"
Then there would "No"-button, and "Yes"-slide-from-left-to-right-thing.
After user has answered either yes/no, the dialog window goes away and application either got or didn't get the user+password-pair.

edit2:
Password safe could be developed futher to have this server which would serve through "standardized" dbus-commands.

Getting the system security code from the system may or may not be a problem. Anyway, Password Safe could optionally use also that system security code hashed as a master password, so one wouldn't need two "master passwords",kinda.

edit3:
I like Password Safe, because the database is compatible with Linux and Windows password applications. I can easily sync the password list just by copying the file between systems.

the idea is differente from password safe... it's more like as Maemo feature, integrating ALL apps, not only passwords...

Like Mac keychain...
