[Fixed] Will Encrypted Macro Security Loopholes be Fixed?

[jpuziano]

Hi Support... 2 questions:

1) In the post Encrypted macro still runs by hot-key..., Shinto found that password security doesn't work on an encrypted macro if a hot-key is used. Will this be fixed in the next release?

Hello...I've made a macro with my credit card number (to enter quickly on web-forms etc.), and encrypted it...but when I press the hotkey it doesn't ask for the password. If I try to edit it or Run from the editor it will ask for pwd, but not when run from hotkey.

Am I being stupid...?

Thanks

Shinto

2) I compiled an encrypted macro, ran the exe and had the same problem, the macro runs without asking for the password. Will Password security for encrypted macros be made to work for compiled macros as well?

1) Yes, this will be fixed in next maintenance release. Hot key macros should still request a password if encrypted.

2) No, compiled macros cannot be protected by a password. Actually compiled macros are already encrypted so you can't see the code in them, so if you want a password to be entered before the macro runs you can do that yourself:

Let>INPUT_PASSWORD=1
Input>pass,Enter Password to Run This Macro:
If>pass=foobar
..
.. rest of script here
..
Endif

Compiled macros are just compiled versions of the script code.
