Password Safe - Simple & Secure Password Management

Password Safe allows you to safely and easily create a secured and encrypted user name/password list.
With Password Safe all you have to do is create and remember a single "Master Password" of your choice in order to unlock and access your entire user name/password list.

Password Safe protects passwords with the Twofish encryption algorithm, a fast, free alternative to DES.

Spoiler: Fixed Bugs and New Features in v3.43.0

Bugs fixed in v3.43.0:

Code:

[1410] Don't forget '-r' flag when database not found, and needs to be
searched.
[1409] An entry is now correctly re-selected after editing if the preference
"Save database immediately after any change" is disabled.
[1403] Help has been updated to document that an entry's Notes field has a
size limit of 30,000 characters.
[1402] Group image is now correct after dragging an empty sub-group to the next
higher level.
[1400] The Toolbar now correctly disables buttons when a Group is selected.
[1401] After deleting an entry, the next visible entry (if present) is
selected. If not present, then the previous entry (if present) will be selected.
[1399] A disabled image is now shown when no characters to copy are available.
This has also been implemented wherever the "Copy Password" button is used outside
the Toolbar.

Changes to Existing Features in v3.43.0:

Code:

[809] Maximum configurable idle timeout increased to 10 hours.

New Features for v3.43.0:

Code:

[] You can now specify additional command line parameters to the
external editor used to edit the Notes field from the Add/Edit Basic dialog. 
[] It is now possible to export the currently filtered entries to a
new PasswordSafe database.
[832] If many databases are open at the same time, after opening a database, the user
can specify a database index (1-99) that will be superimposed on the System Tray icon
to aid identification. In addition, the System Tray icon tooltip has been enhanced
to show more of the database name.
[833] Right-clicking on a base entry now allows you to select any one
of its dependants, i.e. alias or shortcut.
[834] We've added the option of displaying the safe combination when
entering during database creation, opening and change of combination.

 

Using here Password Safe for many years ago.

Simple and effective without annoyances. With 'Ctrl+U' and 'Ctrl+C' it's easy and practical to use it.

I don't use the portable version from PortableApps.com (designated by mood) since I use the bin option here:
- "pwsafe64-3.43.0-bin.zip" (x64 version)
- "pwsafe-3.43.0-bin.zip" (x32 version)
With instructions from 'The Portable Freeware Collection':

Spoiler: Portable version info:

1- Download the "bin" ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice
2- Launch pwsafe.exe, click "New" to create a password database, and save the file
3- Close the program and move pwsafe.cfg from C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\PasswordSafe into the program folder
4- Launch pwsafe.exe

1438 Double backslash is now correctly parsed in Run Command.
1432 Perform autotype of correct entry when the user changes the selection made by a Find.
1431 The protected entry padlock symbol is now used in all places where a protected entry is listed in any dialog.
1430 If an expired or about to be expired entry is edited at database open (requires warning preference to be enabled), the database will be saved if the 'Save database immediately after any change' preference is enabled. After the open is complete, these changes can be undone/redone if required.
1429 Tree and List views now retain focus when a shortcut entry is created.
1428 Remember Find toolbar state when restoring from minimized.
1420 The virtual keyboard font size setting is now persistent.

Changes to Existing Features in V3.44.0

Code:

• The option that allows you to change the color of the system tray icon displayed when Password Safe is initially started and when there's no open database has been removed. The standard PasswordSafe brown icon will be used.
• Use the Add/Edit font in preference to the Tree/List font outside the actual Tree/List views (since the Tree/List fonts may be too large).

New Features for V3.44.0

Code:

• When exporting a group or the results of a filter, if any additional entries have been exported (e.g. base entries of aliases or shortcuts already exported), they will be noted in the Export report.
844 The default font for the password field is now 12pt Consolas.
843 The default font for Tree/List views, Add/Edit fields and an entry's Notes is now 10pt Segoe UI.
842 A new symbol (paperclip - Unicode U+01F4CE) to indicate that an entry has an attachment (V4 databases only) has been implemented but, if the currently selected Tree/List font does not support it and the user is not running Windows 10, then the old symbol ('+') will be used.
841 Close/exit is now allowed via System Tray icon when the database is open in read-only mode.
839 The list of expired entries now shows protected entries in italics, indicating that they must be unprotected before they can be updated.
828 The main window can now be set to be partially transparent via Manage->Options->Display.

Password Safe Portable 3.45 (secure password manager) Released (January 21, 2018) (PortableApps.com)

 

I think password safe is one of the better password managers because it has its own keyboard to enter it's passwords to the login dialogue as key strokes instead of using the insecure copy paste via the clipboard method.

Thanks.

Odd as it seems and not preferred by most, hence to the new modified time limit of clearing the clipboard stretched out to 30 in place of 3 seconds. Had to dig up 3.47.0 which most have already been pulled but I found one server still dishing it up. The brief 3 second seems more like 5 to me and I decided to stay with it instead. Choices, choices, choices.

Does that mean the timing period itself returns to 3 seconds instead the longer 30 in the previous version?

 

The "clipboard timed clearing function" has been removed (=The clipboard is not cleared anymore after a specific time)

 

0uch, not good-for me anyway-but no matter. I managed to fish out the 3 second clipboard clearing release before it was pulled from all the online download services.
