When a password database is created in Passwords Plus from DataViz, it creates the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DataViz\PasswordsPlusThe key will have a DaggerFolder value.
| Value name: | DaggerFolder |
| Value data: | C:\Users\Jane\Documents\Passwords Plus |
The directory listed will be the location where Passwords Plus creates its user folders where it will store individual password databases
Passwords Plus allows a user to have multiple databases specified
by user. For instance, Jane Smith could create one with
a username of Jane for her personal passwords and another one
JSmith for her work-related passwords.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DataViz\PasswordsPlus registry
entry, you would find the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DataViz\PasswordsPlus\Users\Jane
And the following value would be found within that key:
| Value name: | DBPath |
| Value data: | C:\Users\Jane\Documents\Passwords Plus\Jane\PassPlusDB.PDB |
The value would specify exactly where the Passwords Plus database would be located.
If Jane created another user within Passwords Plus, named JSmith,
the following would also be found within a
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DataViz\PasswordsPlus\Users\JSmith
key:
| Value name: | DBPath |
| Value data: | C:\Users\Jane\Documents\Passwords Plus\JSmith\PassPlusDB.PDB |
If you want to have multiple systems share the same databases, which
will be accessible through a shared folder on a server, you could change
the DaggerFolder and DBPath values. E.g.,
suppose there is a folder shared from MyServer with a share
name of Shared and underneath that shared folder is a
directory named Passwords with holds the various usernames
created for Passwords Plus. Then you could have the following value
for DaggerFolder
| Value name: | DaggerFolder |
| Value data: | \\MyServer\Shared\Passwords |
And you could use the following for a Passwords Plus username of Jane:
| Value name: | DBPath |
| Value data: | \\MyServer\Shared\Passwords\Jane\PassPlusDB.PDB |
If you wanted to copy these settings from one system to
another, so that you don't have to manually edit the registry
values on the second system, you can run regedit
and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DataViz,
click on it to select it, then select File and
Export the registry settings to a file,
say Passwords-Plus-Users.reg. You can then
take that registry file to another system and double-click
on it to enter the same values into the registry on that
system.
