Since gpg4usb is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), you can use it on as many machines as you want. Copy it, modify and redistribute it, give gpg4usb to as many people as possible! Gpg4usb is tested a lot already on many different machines, but we can give no warranty, that it works on your computer. Gpg4usb is a PGP tool that can be ran off of a USB drive and works on both Windows and GNU/Linux, with OS X support planned. It features a very intuitive user interface, portability so it can be used on multiple devices, and is of course open source. It uses GnuPG as the backend, like most PGP methods.
Lately I been using PGP more and more… and I wanted to have my portable application on a flash drive where I could carry all of the private and public keys (of course that if I loose my flash drive, I am at risk – I know that). But, there is really not good documentation that walks through a first time user on how to accomplish this. So, here is my attempt to those first time users on how to do it.
- You need a Windows machine (physical or virtual)
- Download Gpg4Win -> http://www.gpg4win.org/
In my case, I tested this with version 2.2.4 - When installing Gpg4Win, make sure that you have enable all of these options
GnuPG 2.0.27
Kleopatra 2.2.0-git945878c
GPA 0.9.7
GpgOL 1.2.1
GpgEX 1.0.1
Claws Mail 3.9.1
Kompendium (de) 3.0.0
Compendium (en) 3.0.0 - Once you are done with the installation, then you can run the following command in order to make your own Gpg4Win portable application. Keep in mind that you can go two different routes. Full or Lite. In my example, I will show you how to have it fully loaded.
- Open command prompt (CLI)
- cd to the path where GPG4Win is located
If you use the defaults it will be at “C:Program Files (x86)GNUGnuPG” - Run “mkportable.exe –full –verbose TARGETDIR”
where TARGETDIR in this case will be “E:gpg4winapp” - Then once the program runs, you will be able to open Kleopatra and there you have it
- Enjoy!!!

Low Standards
Gpg4usb Mac
While it's feasibly possible, it's very unlikely that the average person finding a phone with RoboForm installed could execute the precise steps needed to do what Mr. Moore is doing with the emulator.
Well, if that's the standard, then RoboForm's app is completely uselsss.
If defeating 'the average person' is all you want to do, just put a suitably complex unlock code on your phone and store your other passwords in a text file; no need to download an app.

If you want to secure your passwords from more than 'the average person', I'd recommend anything but RoboForm, as their spokesman has just confirmed their standards don't extend that far.
