What is the name of your state? California

I've written a software application that I intend to release commercially to the public as shareware. This program is capable of storing login and password information to a variety of online resources. Suppose that my encryption algorithms are compromised and, if my software takes off, hundreds or even tens of thousands of users' login/password information falls into the hands of a thief who steals millions of dollars using information stored by my program.

I've done the best I can to programatically secure the users' information, but how can I protect my company from being sued for those millions of stolen dollars. Is a disclaimer good enough?

Thank you,

Jason
