Lots done already. Here's what's left:
- A status bar indicating whether or not passwordsafe is unlocked, with the
ability,
most likely, to see how long it'll be unlocked for, and to re-lock it.
- A preference capability to set the lock timeout, with the possibility that
it's zero.
- Decisions on the security permissions required.
- SET_PASSWORD
- a field entry in the database for "invisible" or "locked" passwords that
either
aren't shown to users, or can't be edited by users (but probably can be
deleted).
These are the passwords that are created programatically by other applications
using
SET_PASSWORD.
- An entry in the database for which applications are permitted to get & set a
password (defaults to the category == package name), plus the user interface
for this
capability
- Lots of little things noted as TODOs in the code.
- Probably a write-up and request for vetting
- Perhaps the ability to generate "cooler" keys, like certificate keypairs and
to
sign stuff with them, but that's down the road.
- The ability to process larger chunks of data than string extras.
- Maybe convert categories to tags?
- Maybe

And the constants kinda provide an explanation of what's done at this point:

*/
public static final String ACTION_DECRYPT = "org.openintents.action.DECRYPT";
/**

I've been waiting for a feature like this for awhile.
A keychain type app that allows other apps to pull login information for stuff
like
facebook, twitter, etc.
Also, might I suggest that you allow for a variable number of fields for
information,
instead of just doing a username and password field. That way other
applications can
pull not just username and login, but things like display name, account number,
security question answers. I have a little bit of a SQL background if you'd
like
some suggestions on database layout as well.
