Free, comprehensive password manager

Password Safe is a free security app that will help keep your passwords safe, secure and easily managed. Password Safe works by creating a virtual safe in which you can store your passwords.When you need one, you open the safe and copy the password, closing it again when you have finished. You can create as many safes as you need, which is perfect for keeping various aspects of your life perfectly compartmentalized.

One of Password Safe's major benefits is its clear layout and comprehensive options - a good combination.You create your safe and add as many passwords as you need. The configuration options are as comprehensive as any we've seen here at Softonic, with all the usual suspects - virtual keyboard, import/export options, hotkeys, password policy options and security parameters.

Password Safe is a comfortable program to use, but only experience will tell if the safe format is the best for you. Although it's comfortable, we didn't like Password Safe quite as much as other apps like BlackBox, but you might find that it is the perfect password manager for you - it's certainly in with a very good chance.

Great little utility.. Great little program. I was drawn to it initially because of Bruce Schneier, but I quite like the simplicity and portability of it. Plus I trust him and the developers, and therefore the security of the program. Pros: simpleportablelightweightsecuredoes pretty much everything you need Cons: cannot select multiple entries simultaneouslyWindows only (Linux version is still beta)

Must have utility for all those that have trouble managing login data. When I started to use this, I had roughly 50 different logins to manage and stored them in text files in case I would not remember them. Always keeping the same login wherever possible and the same password to login on most websites. Guess what, that is as unsafe as it can be because if you crack one of my logins then you have access everywhere. Here is where my search started. After using several utilities, you start to understand that auto typing is an important feature. In addition, backup and proper organisation of data is. When I found password safe it solved all my problems and the automatic backup is one of the key features I really like. I am now at 253 unique and hard to crack logins and if a website is cracked and my data extracted they will not be able to use it elsewhere. I am very, very happy with this utility.Two thumbs up, Gert Jan Zeilstra Pros: Auto typeAuto backupFolder and item managementFast searchLong login names of many difficult to guess characters possibleComplex passwords possibleComplete control over password generationIndividual website controlComplete control which browser to useEtceteras Cons: It is very hard to find something negative about this utilityPeople that rate this lower then 5 stars do not know how to use itOn only a few types of website this will not work but none of the other (also paid utilities) do not work on those websites
