THE BLOCK - Password Protection for Macintosh

THE BLOCK - Password Protection for Macintosh
** DISCONTINUED **

THE BLOCK is a powerful password protection system for Macintosh computers.

For some screenshots follow this link...

Please note that THE BLOCK is discontinued. You can still register it for use with OS 9.x, but it will not be upgraded to work with OSX.

Unlike other password protection systems, it will not accept real passwords. To log in to a computer protected by THE BLOCK you need to go through a two-step process.

First you need to type a Password Key, which is a key combination similar to the Finder's Copy or Paste shortcuts [command+c] or [command+v].

The second step is to click with the mouse on the shutdown button on the on-screen dialog or, depending on the preferences you set, to press the "esc" key on your keyboard.

A big part of THE BLOCK's security comes from the illusion that a real password is needed. If intruders are not aware of how THE BLOCK works, they will always choose the wrong approach.

If they are aware, THE BLOCK will still be as protective as every other password system because there are many possible Password Keys and there is an option to disable the shift key at startup.
If you already own a password-protection for your Macintosh, but this protection system cannot disable the Shift-Key at startup, you may be interested in the Shift Key Suite.

A Password Key can consist of any of the four modifiers (command, alt, control or shift) and another key on your keyboard, including the cursor keys, the F-keys and the page navigation keys.
