Password Safe

Very good tool in the tool box

I am a 15+ year user and use it practically every day. The best such app I have seen. I recommend it regularly to all my employees. For the people who have expressed concern about losing their computer with the password database on it, the answer is simple. Use an extra long password. There are easy ways to create passwords that are just as easy to remember, but hard to crack because of a long password. Just look them up.

Excellent app, great support, and recommended highly/frequently to others who choose not to store passwords via an online service. I've been using Password Safe just over five years and have zero issues or complaints. I use on both desktop and laptop, accessing the encrypted db on firewalled intranet NAS. I'll occasionally copy the most recent db to my iPhone for use with the pwSafe app, keeping my info secure and encrypted local on my mobile device.

I learned about Password Safe about 1999 from a security engineer I worked with then and have been using it since at work and at home. I love that fact it doesn't know about the cloud (I use a USB drive to copy the file among my computers). Also that it is on SourceForge and peer reviewed. Better than paid programs any day. One feature I use a lot is the -e & -d flags to keep my check book safe - great feature! I absolutely love being able to set the notes field to a non-proportional/non-kerned font so you can easily see the password length. I use "Lucinda Console".

Easy to use, effective and completely free of advertising. I like the way it runs equally well on Android and Windows, and I like the simple user interface. I've been using it for years without any hint of a problem. Many thanks to all involved.
