#886 Audit trail
(From Chris, via email)
Hello,
I would like if it possible to activate a logging of access into password safe ?
I mean, I would like to have a log file that says whenever I access PWSafe in read-only or write mode.
Thank you for your help.
Doing so in a tamper-proof manner is tricky, doubly so if backwards compatibility is to be maintained.
In a Windows environment it might be feasible to enable Windows' own audit logging of the .psafe3 file access, e.g. as described at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/apply-a-basic-audit-policy-on-a-file-or-folder
I just enabled that auditing on Windows 7 Ultimate, and Windows does log the access to the file(s).
Note that configuring the auditing correctly is not a trivial exercise - it requires some technical knowledge of Windows, but it can be done without any changes to Password Safe.
