Subject: Re: Signature 1.04, upgrading from 1.03
Users updating from 1.03 to 1.04 and above.
THIS IS O N L Y FOR 1.00 - 1.03 USERS!
There is always a certain trade-off between individual and system
safety. After some discussion it has been deceided to change the
balance a wee bit into the direction of the individual user. This
means that in version 1.04 onwards a different password sentence
coding system has been implemented.
However before upgrading you need to 'descramble' your password.
Please follow these instructions closely
1 Make a backup of !Signature 1.03 and the 'private' file.
2 Start !Signature 1.03 and enter your password. Press OkΘ
3 Reopen the password window and change your password into
'able', just that single word ! the first one in the
token list. Press the 'change' button.
4 Copy the 'private' file, found inside the !signature
application to somewere safe. It should have a new,
recent time/date stamp.
5 Replace !Signature 1.03 with the new version.
6 Copy the 'private' file into the directory of !signature.
7 Start the new version of !Signature.
8 If everything went ok you should be prompted to enter
a fresh password.
9 DESTROY ANY OF THE OTHER COPIES OF THE PRIVATE FILE
The ONLY safe way of destroying them is by loading them
into !Edit, preform a search en replace with the
wildcarded expression # into X. This will change all the
numbers into X chars. Save this file. Then delete the file.
This is to ensure that no 'hidden' copies of the private
file remain on your (hard!)disc.
And that is it.
Dirk.
