Have you checked
Freeware PPC?

What flip cover? :-) Most Pocket PCs don't come with them.
The above site has a whole
page dedicated to clock/calendar programs.

Do you mean programs to store your passwords in, or programs to encrypt your files with?
If the former, they aren't free, but check out
eWallet,
CodeWallet Pro and
Virtual Wallet.
If the latter, I got F-Secure File Crypto free with my iPAQ 3870. If you don't have an iPAQ, check out
File Crypto and
PDA Secure Premium.

As you know, the Tasks program in Pocket Outlook is for To Do lists. The alarms only go off at the start of your day, which I think is stupid (you set an alarm date, but not time), and there's no repeating.
If you have fewer than four items, and the event is less than a week ahead, you can use the Clock applet in settings for repeating alarms.
There are also many PIM replacement programs out there, but most of those aren't free. Check out
AgendaFusion and
Pocket Informant for two.
Alternatively, something like
RemindMe might be interesting.
Some of those non-freeware programs were finalists and award winners for the
Pocket PC Magazine Best Software Awards 2002.
