PasswordSafe: 3.15 and 3.15Y released

Password Safe is a password database utility. Users can keep their passwords securely encrypted on their computers. A single Safe Combination unlocks them all.

PasswordSafe 3.15 is a minor release - some annoying bugs have been fixed, some features have been added or improved upon.

Release 3.15Y is the same as 3.15, with support for the YubiKey authentication token (http://yubico.com/products/yubikey/). See the end of this announcement for more information.

The 3.15 release may be downloaded from

YubiKey Authentication Support:
YubiKey (http://yubico.com/products/yubikey/) is a USB authentication device
that sends a different authentication key each time it's activated. This
provides a convenient alternative to constantly typing in a passphrase for
heavy users of PasswordSafe. To use, just "associate" your YubiKey with your
PasswordSafe datasbase, using the new Manage->YubiKey dialog. For more
details, please refer to the online help.
Currently, support for this device is implemented in a separate PasswordSafe
package, 3.15Y. Your feedback will determine if and how this will be merged
into the main product.
The YubiKey version may be downloaded from:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=41019&package_id=302775&release_id=647161
