On Linux Mint, password safe seems to not be able to access anything in my home directory except for the Documents dir. What's going on? I usually synch my password safes using Dropbox, but pwsafe refused to read ~/Dropbox/. I switched to Syncthing, and it's correctly putting the files in ~/pwsafe/, but A: the file browser refuses to show them, and B: if I put in the path directly to the file I get an error dialog saying the file isn't there. Is this a permission thing? In desperation I set the file...
Hi Alexey, I posted the code above. It works when I copied it back from here and ran it. This is what I did. Selected all lines in the previous post with the code and use Ctrl-C to copy. I pasted the text into a notepad++ window and saved the file locally as start_pwsafe.bat I created a shortcut on my desktop to start_pwsafe.bat and named the shortcut start_pwsafe Optional, but this is what I do. Right click on the shortcut on the desktop and select the Shortcut tab. On this tab under Run, select...

Ok. I'll paste the code here then copy it from here after I post and test it. If it works, I'll respond letting you know it works.
Hi Ulrich I don't know where you've been sitting, but this is definitely not a new feature
Being a user of PasswordSafe from the time on when it was created by Bruce Schneier, I only recently I discovered the feature that if I left-click an entry (not the icon) and drag it to a password field, the password is inserted. Very handy indeed. Is this feature relatively new or have I been sitting under a stone for some sweet time?
Thanks MrMe! Can you please put the batch file somewhere or just paste code here if it not too large?
When opening a PWSafe from Google Drive in Zorin client/Windows 10 host the safe file name is being changed. How do I stop this behavior?
This ☝ Thanks Alexey! If anyone is interested in another solution to Step 3, I created a windows batch file that I use to start pwsafe.exe, and it will position the application window at a x,y location and size of your choosing everytime. It does it by modifying the %UserProfile%\ Appdata\Local\PasswordSafe\pwsafe.cfg for you and then starting pwsafe.exe It's been working like charm since I created it.
Sharing my workaround in case it helps someone. Credit to MrMe whose comment crystallized this approach for me. I’m including all the steps to avoid confusing the reader. Step 1: Override DPI scaling Right-click pwsafe.exe (usually located in "C:\Program Files\Password Safe") → Properties → Compatibility tab → Change high DPI settings → check "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and select "Application". After this, the UI will be crisp and sharp. However, you'll notice two...
That setting changes the font for the password in a specific entry. It does not change the font for the master password, entered on starting PWSafe.
Try View > Change Font > Password Font and make the font size larger.
I've just moved to a new laptop with a high DPI screen, 2880x1800. Password Safe works fine, except for the login dialogue: the font size for the master password entry screen is very small. I've tried changing ther values for high DPI in Properties->Compatability, but it has no effect. Any suggestions please?

Add "Back" button to final dialog of Export
Hello, Version 1.23.0 version of the passwordsafe package does not run on Ubuntu 24. I think this is related to the Wayland display manager which is not compatible with WxWidgets. $ sudo apt install passwordsafe $ pwsafe pwsafe: /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk3u_html-3.2.so.0: no version information available (required by pwsafe) pwsafe: /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk3u_aui-3.2.so.0: no version information available (required by pwsafe) pwsafe: /usr/local/lib/libwx_baseu-3.2.so.0: no version information available...
New to Macs and saw the Non-windows version supports Mac OS. I presume this is not as full featured as the Windows version but otherwise works, right? Files shows the latest version to be 1.23.0, but the SourceForge link downloads 1.18.2. Is that the proper download which is dated early 2024? If not, do I just download the 1.23.0 mac os universal.dmg directly? After downloading and installing, I had to go into settings to override security to allow the Macbook to run password safe. I assume this...
Add icon/indicator to entry to indicate it is storing a Passkey
Am I correct that the Rony maintained, non-Windows release (currently 1.23.0) works on Macs? And works on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, etc)?
Compilation with 1.23.0 heads/master-0-gbfd36e7c0 works now, also cpack -G RPM .. but the corresponding rpm on Suse Tumbleweed still says when installing: zypper install ./passwordsafe-opensuse20260105-1.23.rpm ... Problem: 1: nothing provides 'libwx_baseu-suse3_0_5' needed by the to be installed passwordsafe-1.23-1.x86_64 Solution 1: do not ask to install a solvable providing passwordsafe.x86_64 = 1.23-1 Solution 2: break passwordsafe-1.23-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies Choose from...
