Secure Notepad is a simple TXT editor, just like good ol' Windows Notepad. I would say they're identical, so it won't take you long to learn how to use it. The great difference is that Secure Notepad encrypts your text files saving them in a native ETXT format.
ETXT files can only be opened with Secure Notepad, and only if you enter the correct passphrase. You have also the option to use a file as a key to grant access to the file. As another security feature, Secure Notepad gradually fades to white the text whenever its window is not active, hiding it from prying eyes until it finally minimizes the window automatically.
What I missed is the possibility to choose between different encryption methods or at least have some information about the level of security, such as the program telling you how strong your selected password is.

TESTED VIRUS FREE - Softonic GUARANTEEDSecure Notepad (current version is 1.0) is more or less exact copy of famous MS Notepad. But this version includes several secure features:
The OpenSLL engine is used for encryption (Blowfish algorithm), so it is expected to be very safe. But actually, the firmness of any algorithm depends on the private key's size. It will be absolutely useless if you choose the passwords like "god". To help you on this, in addition to password, it gives you the ability to select any file to be used as an additional secure element. All you need is to decide: which file is permanent on your PC and can never be changed by any reason (e.g. you favorite music, picture, etc.).
You're not allowed to share serial numbers, cracks, etc. or link to pages that contain them. If you do, your user account will be deleted, your IP address logged and legal action will be taken.
