Often website developers need to protect certain sections or web pages from unauthorized access. Manually coding such features for each page takes an inordinate amount of time which can be saved by the Page Protection software 1.0.  The software presents the feature of protecting any specific web page with a password. It’s easy to use the software for setting the code. The developer can protect the page in manner so that the access granted is under permitted conditions.

You would find the software downloaded in few moments and the installation is finished with a few clicks. The screen is not much burdened with unneccessary options giving it a simple look. The ‘Input’ option is for setting up of the code. You can select cookies, sessions and GET for the password memory. For generating the password you can select the letter case, numbers and exclude option. You can set the number for the length of the password. After doing all this you need to generate a password that would give the access to the web page. The user’s password validity can be set to as many days as you want. The style sheet for the password page can be applied. It can be left empty for the default style sheet. You can build the code when the variables have been set. The user is sent a password request by the server for displaying the page. The web page could only be accessed if the password submitted is correct. You can share the information making it secured by the password protector. Even the user would not be able to access the page after the time validity set for the password is over. You can store the password through the cookies in your computer.

This software is useful sharing confidential information with the selected people. It’s excellent to use and quick and easy to operate by any one. Overall the little piece of software is a great utility for professional web developers.

In June, tens of millions of registered users of Yahoo Photos will be notified of various options including upgrading to Yahoo’s Flickr service or various outside-photo storage sites, according to Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield.

Yahoo also will offer consumers the option of loading their photos on competing sites when users are notified next month.

These include PhotoBucket — the most popular online photo sharing service among users of social network sites like News Corp.’s MySpace — or more conventional photo printing and storage site such as Kodak Gallery, Shutterfly Inc. or Snapfish, he said. (more…)

Intelore, one of the key developers of password recovery solutions, launched OpenOffice Password Recovery 1.0.4 – a powerfull software tool designed to help absent-minded or careless PC users recover forgotten passwords for a suite of OpenOffice.org programs (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math etc.).OpenOffice Password Recovery 1.0.4 offers a suite of mechanisms and schemes to quickly and smoothly recover all types of passwords and discard formatting and editing restrictions (for example, locked cells protection and permissions).

OpenOffice Password Recovery features a variety of built-in attack profiles allowing you to efficiently recover passwords with a single key click. The sophisticated solution offers Unicode support and allows for recovery of multilanguage passwords(e.g. containing both Latin characters and hieroglyphs) regardless of their length or complexity.

OpenOffice Password Recovery can take into account the so-called “human factor” and recover a password containing typing errors! (more…)
