This program "works" but it doesn't deserve a v1.2 label - SpyfromGOD

Many, many thanks for being an early user (tester). I, too, had serious concerns about such a security app and its very real downside. This app is high on my 'to do' list, it's just not #1 yet.

This program "works" but it doesn't deserve a v1.2 label - raymondlewisjones

Well, I guess I consider myself to be pretty good at the computer, so sometimes I forget to include error messages and such in my apps. You see, since I am the one who is writing the app, I already know what to do and how to do it. So, I don't expect any mistakes to be made. MY mistake.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated! Without it, I would never be able to create the next version of the app. This app really only has about 10-15 lines of code and only took me about 20 minutes to develop, but it is fast-becoming my favorite project. I love the idea of having a "Key" for my computer. Also, the idea of my kids having their own "limited" or "valet" keys that only give them certain permissions.

Of course, let me address the issue presented in the previous comment:
During development, I used a read/write disk image as my "key". I did not want to keep restarting and such, so I used a disk image and then started/stopped the launch daemon as needed using the Terminal.

Also, I note that you should make a backup of your security key. And what better way to do that than to use a read/write disk image during installation, and then, before restarting your computer, clone the disk image to your usb drive or onto a CD or whatever.
