Passwordless Authentication and Passwordless Security
It’s no secret — passwords can be a real headache, both for the people who use them and the people who manage them. Over time, we’ve created hundreds of passwords, it’s easy to lose track of them and they’re easily compromised. Fortunately, passwordless authentication is becoming a feasible reality for many businesses. Duo can help you get there.

Love the project. Easy to get started

Having started programming in 1966 I have done a lot of basic, and like it, especially for simple things. I was interested in this product, downloaded it installed it all with a few mouse clicks. The IDE is intuitive and easy to use. Haven't tried "Graphics" yet but look forward to trying it soon. I have scored Features and Support "5" each but as yet have had no reason to use them. To you developer(s), thanks for a great product. :-) After reading other reviews I also would like to produce exe files that run independently of the IDE.

Great BASIC for beginners and intermediate programmers!

I am using the version 1.1.4.0(2014-10-25) - built with QT 5.3.0 how can I upgrade to the latest version without losing my work? and also how can I type in the graphics output?

Great project. I think it's a good way to get started with programming. It would be great if the Linux version were 2.0.0.1, too though. I am currently working on easy examples of all the things that can be done with Basic-256. For example additions with values, additions with variables and additions where the user is being asked to enter some values that will then be added. Would be cool if there were more examples like this in the official documentation, too. Also it would be cool if there was an easy way to create a GUI that could be exported as executable so the people could write a calculator, a spreadsheet calculation program, a database management tool or or or with Basic-256.
