Tim H posted a comment on ticket #476
I'd like to bring this request to the top again. AI scraping has caused many sites (e.g. Google, MS. Facebook, etc.) to sporadically insert a CAPTCHA test into the login procedure after the 'username' is entered. If you're using a '\u\n\W###\p\n' style of autotype sequence, this results in typing the password into the page where it is not expected with undesirable results. I propose that using '\W000' be a flag to pop up the standard Windows single-button "OK" dialog to pause autotype until it is...

I could try taking a photo instead of a screenshot. That way you’d see what I see and not what the monitor is trying to display. (Since a screenshot is capturing the image buffer and not the actual pixels)

I see. It's more than barely visible on my screen. It's interesting that it's barely visible on your screen. Nevertheless, your input and mine are two data point for the developers.
-
The pic is higher contrast than my monitor. On my screen its barely noticeable .
-
I wouldn't say the gray is 'barely noticeable'. I have no issues with the current shade of gray but I agree it that it might be a bit more noticeable if it was a slightly darker gray.
-
It's exactly the same - I don't think this is due to a version, more than it is related to the color option PWSafe uses for out-of-focus with Windows 11.

Can you try upgrading to 3.70.01 (the latest release)?

Hi - I've recently changed to Windows 11 and I've noticed that in Password Safe v3.63, when the windows loses focus, the highlighted item changes color to a barely noticeable gray. It used to be more obvious (windows 10) and my other apps are ok in win 11. Only PWSafe has been rendered poorly. See my attached screenshots. How can this be fixed?

That is correct. You might want to store your safe on shared storage (for instance a NAS, or cloud storage like OneDrive) to keep your safe synchronized across all your devices. Richard.

Thanks Richard. I'm going to try using the keys on my other databases. I suspect that I'm going to need to copy the main PSafe file to the other devices first, otherwise they won;t know that a Yubikey has been set up.

Marking the file as Available Offline did not work for me, so I am using the shortcut. Thanks, Jeff!

Gary Frodsham posted a comment on discussion Help
The shortcut is a nice workaround. Thanks again, Jeff

I'll try those ideas. Thanks so much for the help!

Jeff Harris posted a comment on discussion Help
Yea, it must be something happening with the Drive app timing-out the URL for the file. Unfortunately, PasswdSafe can't force Drive to create more permanent links to its files. Does marking the file as "available offline" in the Drive app help? Otherwise, you may be able to use the Drive app to create a shortcut to the file on your home screen.

There is no need to setup anything on your other devices, you can unlock your safe(s) with your yubikey straight away. As you already suspect, repeating setup would overwrite the secret key on the yubikey. Richard.

I run PSafe on 4 PCs now. On my main PC (using WIn 8.1 and PSafe ver 3.64), I have set up 2 Yubikeys and practiced removing it from 2FA and adding it back in. Works great. I have NOT set it up on the other 3 PCs, all of which run WIn 11 and will all soon use the updated PSafe version 3.70. Q1. - Do I need to set up my 2 Yubikeys on each PC for the Psafe that's installed there? Or will my Yubikeys, since they've been set up on the main PC, work on the other PCs without going through the setup process?...

The YubiKey button is enabled when PasswordSafe detects a YubiKey device connected to your machine. The fact that it's enabled does not mean that your database requires the YubiKey to unlock. This is configured per database, via the Manage->Change Master Password function, where you can either add or remove the dependency on YubiKey for unlocking. For more details, click on the Help button in this window.

Very recently, my employer required a YubiKey to access certain work websites. The type of YubiKey senses a touch, but it does not use fingerprint recognition. Today I noticed that PSafe detected that there is a connected YubiKey when starting the program. I don't want to allow PSafe to use the YubiKey to open the program. How do I make sure that only by typing in my password will PSafe be opened (or unlocked)? Note, that ASFAIK I have not enabled YubiKey with PSafe (after starting the program, I...

No Gary, I have not cross-posted to the project site.

Hey Jeff, we've been using pwsafe for years on Android with files on google drive without this issue. Something has changed the last couple of months when this issue started.
-
Larry, I and my wife have the same issue on our Androids (v16 running on pixel 9 and Samsung A35). Are you getting anything from the other project site?
-
8:40pm to 9:14pm and now it's gone...
-
Yes, I open it that way. It will stick around for a short time, then disappear. I just opened it now, will monitor to see how long it takes.
-
I tested opening a psafe file stored in my Google Drive using the PasswdSafe file chooser, and the item seemed to stay in the recent files list. From the Files screen, I clicked the bottom-right icon to open the chooser, selected the Drive account and file, and opened it. Were you opening some other way, say from the Drive app? Only files from the chooser are remembered, currently.
-
Thank you, and sorry, but I was not aware of the posting site for Android. My safe is stored up on Google Drive, which I would think would be stable.

Thanks for helping out Rony. I bit the bullet, downloaded the latest version and tried out the export of an .XML file. It worked! Everything came out fine this way. :)

2.07 is really old, no idea if the export feature was functional then. If you wish, set up a dummy database with a couple of entries, export to plain text, attach the result to this thread and I'll take a look. As to the order, it really doesn't matter, as Excel (or any spreadsheet program) can easily sort the data.
-
Normally, Android questions should be over at its project site at https://sourceforge.net/projects/passwdsafe/support, but I can help here some. Where do you have the file stored? Android uses URLs for files, and the app has to ask whether the URLs still exist when it refreshes the list. Depending on where the file is stored, the app providing the file may not have stable URLs, and so the file may disappear.

I realize I am using an older version of PS but it suits my purposes well. I am using v.2.07 I would like to export my passwords to a file that I can import into MS Excel. Right now I am given the following options for export: Old (1.x format) Plain Text (tab separated) Neither one helps. The first choice just changes the file, to be used inside Password Safe, not outside the program. The second choice does not give a file that can be used 'out of the box' in Excel. The entries in PS are arranged...

What is the reason? Is "Master Password" not woke enough? Is it worthwhile to spend energy and risk inadvertant bigs in the code for that?

PWSafe Team - In support of inclusivity, are there any objections to me reviewing the code and documentation to transition from the term "Master Password" to "Main Password" or "Primary Password" for the primary application authentication password? Respectfully, Bob

Hi, I'm on Android and the app does not remember my recent files, it's nearly always blank. I tried to set the Default file in Preferences, but that does not persist either. I am able to successfully open my safe using the blue button. Sometimes the recent file lasts for an hour or so before vanishing from the Recent Files coming Thank you

Hi Ken, The 3.70 database is an evolution of the existing 3.x format, and therefore 3.70 maintains full backwards compatibility with previous versions. Furthermore, older versions of the app can open 3.70 databases with attachments, they'll just treat them as "unknown" fields while perserving them. V4 was a testbed for exploring several ideas that didn't pan out for several reasons. Hopefully there'll be a V5 somewhere down the line, implementing the lessons learned from V4 and providing more features...
-
I was reading the latest news and it mentions being able to add an attachment, functionality that previously was only available on the experimental V4 database. Does this mean the database being used in 3.70 is "new" as in V4 ? More importantly, can v3.70 open databases created in the 3.66 to 3.69 range?

Thanks, Rony. New components are coming in for a new computer, which will run on Win 11 Pro, so I'll say goodbye to my beloved Windows 8 (and use that machine for a Linux platform). So then I'll have updated versions of Password Safe on all of them. Thank you for developing this password manager. So simple and secure, and especially because it's local so we don;t have to put anything in "the cloud".
-
Hi Stretch, Short answer: Yes, the older version will be able to open a database save by a newer version of Password Safe. If you use a newer feature, such as attachments, it will appear in the old version as "unknown field", but the data will not be lost.
-
Another question: I just read (at the Password Safe site under FAQ) that the new version runs only under Windows 10 and 11. The main computer I use Psafe on is Windows 8.1, the other 2 computers run on Win 11. - If I upgrade the Win 11 computers to Version 3.70, and then copy the pwsafe.psafe3 file over to the Windows 8.1 computer (Version 3.64.1), will the older version be able to open the database? Thanks again, Stretch
-
Hello, I am using PSafe ver 3.64.1 on 3 different computers. I want to update to the latest version (3.70 ?). Currently, I make all changes on one main computer, then regularly copy the pwsafe.psafe3 file to each of the other 2 computers so they remain updated, Do I need to download and install the new version on each computer? Or only on the main computer, and then copy the pwsafe.psafe3 over as usual? Are there any glitches to be aware of that might affect my database DATA during the updating?...

From the latest release notes: New Features in 3.70.0 Password Safe now supports adding a single attachment to an entry. Previously this was only available in the experimental V4 database format. With this release, the ability to add, update, remove and download a single attachment to an entry is now available via a new "attachment" tab in the Add/Edit Entry window.

Hi, I've just installed PasswordSafe on a new Windows 11 laptop. Everything works except the Password subset pop-up no longer remembers its last position. It always pops-up in the middle of the screen, not where I last dragged it to. Worked fine on my last (Windows 10) laptop. I'm running 3.70.01 Any ideas?

Hi Ken, PasswordSafe only uses the "Challenge Response" method. I'm not sure what led you to think there were two methods. When you unlock your safe using Yubikey, the master password you entered is sent as a "challenge", and the response is used to derive the actual encryption key. Hope this helps. Let me know if you want a deeper technical dice.

I set my Yubikeys up probably seven years ago to help protect my Password Safe. I happen to be reading an article on passkeys and Yubikeys and that led me back to protecting my Password Safe. I'm trying to determine how I set my Yubikeys up, which I understand there are two methods, "Static Password" or "Challenge Response". Is there a method that I can either interrogate Password Safe or an individual key to determine how I set my keys up? When I sign in to the vault I enter my Master password,...
