do you have a back up pwsafe.psafe3 saved somewhere? You could try to open that file with your password. Make sure that you save multiple copies in various different places. I'm not sure why closing PWSafe would blank out the entries.
I closed the password file by accident so when I reopened it the whole list was blank without a single entry of passwords, so I am desparate for help! Any suggestion please?

Here's a workaround I'm using to successfully avoid a couple of the reported issues with using Windows PasswordSafe on a high DPI computer. I'm using the latest Windows version (v3.39) with this workaround on a 2K (2560x1440) screen Windows laptop and so far it has been working great for me. The workaround uses a Windows batch script I wrote. The script is my launcher for Password Safe, i.e. it starts pwsafe.exe, but before doing so it modifies the position and size of the Password Safe window in...
One of the reasons (probably the main) i've chosen PasswordSafe and not some other more popular app, is the fact that it supports an email field! It would be nice though if there was a list of emails which would be managed via a simple screen. In addition to that, the relevant email field in an entry, instead of a plain textbox it could be a combobox (styled as dropdown, not dropdown-list). That way the user would still be able to type an email, which would be stored as a text in the file (as done...
Didn't notice before, but I see Marv had the same idea. Brilliant! :-)
Another thought is to make a copy of the file in the Dropbox folder to a folder on your PC outside the Dropbox folder and try opening that local copy with Password Safe.
What version of Windows Password Safe are you using? If you are using the latest version of iOS pwSafe, once you open the safe, tap on the gear icon at the bottom of the screen and it should show an Info section with the Last saved date/time of the database. Windows Password Safe also provides this info in File > Properties. If the database has not changed since the last save, I believe both platforms should show the same data/time (once you get PC Password Safe to open the safe).
Can you transfer a copy of a working DB that is on your phone or tablet to your pc and see if that can be opened with the master password?
Can you try creating a test PasswordSafe file in your Dropbox folder and seeing if you can access that across all your machines?
Well, I can't see the file on the PC, because it won't open, but both the iPhone and iPad have 423 entries in 10 groups. The PC has a 103 KB file modified at 5:48 pm as does the iPhone. Can't seem to get the iPad to tell me file size / time. And there's no doubt that I'm using the same Master Password.
I have used pwSafe for years on a collection of platforms, now sharing passwords between an iPhone 13, an old iPad, and a new Win 11 PC. The password database is installed in dropbox. The passwords can be accessed on the iPhone and the iPad, but not the PC. I point the [...} button to dropbox.pwsafe.psafe3. Then enter the Master Passwod. That gets an error message: Incorrect master password, not a Password Safe database, or corrupt database. Yet it works on the other two devices.
Can you open the same file on your iPhone and iPad? Have you checked that it's indeed the same file (size and modification date)? Are you sure you're entering the correct master password (Caps Lock, correct language. etc.)?
I've happily used pwSafe for some years sharing my passwords between PC and iPhone and iPad via Dropbox. I'm having to reload all software to PC because I had to "reset" it to get rid of malware. I've installed Dropbox and can see my files in it, including the pwSafe database. I connected to the database using the {...} button and choosing dropbox.pwsafe.psafe3. Then I entered my master password and got an error message: Incorrect master password, not a password safe database or corrupt database....
While the issue still exists, and I prefer to use '.deb', the Flatpak version (currently v1.21) works fine on Mint 22.1-Xfce. I removed the standard installation (i.e. apt remove passwordsafe (and 'apt autoremove' after that)), then I did this from terminal... flatpak install flathub org.pwsafe.pwsafe source = https://github.com/pwsafe/pwsafe/blob/1.21.0/README.LINUX.md 'PasswordSafe' shows up in the 'Accessories' in the start menu. the default location it wants to see your main 'PasswordDatabaseNameHere.psafe3'...

Transparency is pretty nice, however it would be better if there were two separate settings for it. One when the PS window is active and another for when it is inactive.
Incorporate realistic Password quality/strength information button on Edit Entry screen
OK, this is something I need to fix in a future version. In the meanwhile, you can use the YubiKey personalization tool: Choose Challenge-Response, select Configuration Slot 2, check "Require user input", Variable input, enter the secret key and click on Write Configuration. That should do it.

Thanks Rony. I try to do what you mentioned, but the secret key doesn't allow me to paste or type into it. If I click Generate, a 16 digit hex is created, I try to modify this to have the original hex in it, but it doesn't allow editing. I can click show or hide and see the created hex, but can't modify the hex in any way. Thanks for your help. If I am doing something wrong, let me know.

Just to confirm that I'm aware and approve of Hauke's making Password Safe available on Microsoft Store. As he wrote, it has the same binaries, signed by me, with a minimal wrapper. Cheers, Rony
The "Generate" button creates a random hex secret, and "Set" writes it to the Yubikey. So if you have the original hex, you should paste it into the secret key field and the click "Set" without clicking on Generate. This should rewrite the original secret key to your Yubikey device.
Hello The Store version is maintained by me. I usually update it within a timeframe of 1 week after an update. The store release mainly consists out of original binaries and a wrapper application of mine to ensure compatibility with the MSIX packaging format/Microsoft Store policies (Stuff like displaying privacy policies, disabling updates within the application or providing an interface for command line stuff). This wrapper is also open source: https://github.com/Weatherlights/MSIX-Power-Wrapper...
I was trying to figure out how to make a backup copy of a Yubikey and went into Password Safe's - Manage - Yubikey. Copied the 20 character Hex and click on Generate and Set. Obviously I screwed up the Yubikey that was connected to the computer. I have the original 20 character Hex that was originally created for one database. Can I get the Yubikey back with this 20 character Hex that was created or is it a lost cause? Thanks for any assistance.
