A-Cownts is a new and first application that MacHouse has developed. What is it? A-Cownts offers you a quick way of saving and maintaining accounts. And it's a freeware title for both Mac and Windows users.
We really like a shareware title called PasswordMaster which also allows users to store accounts. But it's old, and nobody maintains it any more. It's not in Universal Binary. There are a lot of minor problems, too, like no support for the contextual menu and 2-byte characters like Chinese and Japanese...
A-Cownts works just like PasswordMaster. This freeware version comes with three built-in tabs under which you can store accounts for different purposes. Of course, you can customize tab labels quick and easy.
A-Cownts stores every single piece of information in a single file labeled acownts.acw, which can be easily opened with text-editors including TextEdit. But that doesn't mean data are human-readable. A-Cownts uses an encryption method with a key that has 2.078218990239605e+63 different combinations, which means it is impossible for anyone to decrypt data in their lifetime and next. Also, A-Cownts lets you set a login password so that nobody else can open and see your account list.
When you register one account after another, you know what you get tired of doing? Coming up with random passwords... A-Cownts comes with a built-in function called Dice. Dice lets you create random passwords containing up to 99 characters. It supports numbers, upper and lower case alphabetic letters, special characters and Greek letters.
