Password Safe
Password Safe is a free and open-source password manager program originally written for Microsoft Windows but supporting a wide array of operating systems, with compatible clients available for Linux, FreeBSD, Android, IOS, BlackBerry and other operating systems.
The program was initiated by Bruce Schneier at Counterpane Systems. As of 2025[update] the program is maintained on GitHub by a group of volunteers.
After filling in the master password the user has access to all account data entered and saved previously. The data can be organized by categories, searched, and sorted based on references which are easy for the user to remember.
There are various key combinations and mouse clicks to copy parts of the stored data (password, email, username etc.), or use the autofill feature (for filling forms). The program can be set to minimize automatically after a period of idle time and clear the clipboard. It is possible to compare and synchronize (merge) two different password databases. The program can be set up to generate automatic backups.
Password Safe does not support database sharing, but the single-file database can be shared by any external sharing method (for example Syncthing, Dropbox etc.). The password database is not stored online.
Stored passwords can be sectioned into groups and subgroups in a tree structure.
Changes to entries can be tracked, including a history of previous passwords, the creation time, modification time, last access time, and expiration time of each password stored. Text notes can be entered with the password details.
The password list can be exported to various file formats including TXT, XML and previous versions of Password Safe. Password Safe also supports importing these files.
