Password Sentry
 

Been so long - too long - since we last posted in GFY, so here I go. Awhile back we released an update of Password Sentry (PS): PS Version 8 (PS8). PS8 is complete rewrite of the code from the ground up. PS is now pure PHP.

1. PHP 7+ compatible: uses MySQL Improved Extension (mysqli). PS8 compatible with latest Apache, PHP, MySQL / MariaDB, etc.

2. IPv6 compliant.

3. PS8 assess uniqueness based on IP-derived coordinates (latitude and longitude). Each login will be mapped in terms of distance from initial login, where you define Distance Threshold. So, for example, if the second logged login is calculated as 250 miles outside the initial login, and you set threshold for 200 miles, the login would be defined as unique. If a third login is calculated as 150 miles, then that login would not be defined as unique. Less dependence on IP addresses such that if the same person uses the same device but on different IP (e.g., WiFi zone in same area), they are not incorrectly flagged as unique and potentially suspended.

4. New feature added. BandwidthMonitor (BM) Plugin now can be used to throttle per-user downloading.

5. And, many dozens new features and improvements.

We now provide a FREE version to test drive PS: https://www.password-sentry.com/downloader/

We put in hundreds of hours of coding and testing in the development of PS8 over many, many months. However, no change in cost. That we kept the same to keep it affordable for most people: especially in these times!
