Password Safe

It becomes incredibly difficult to remember all of your passwords and security keys, since they are required for almost every service, and it’s recommended to use a different one for each. Luckily, Password Safe comes with the means to keep all of your credentials safe, with various extra security tools.

All passwords are kept in custom safes, which are saved under a file with a custom name so that you can take it with you wherever you go. This vault is protected by a password, and you can also add a key file which it’s best to keep safe if you want to have access to all credentials later on.

The visual design is pretty intuitive, and you find there are a lot more functions that meet the eye. A side panel lets you organize all your credentials in folders, with sub-items, while all info is displayed in the rest of the space, which also represents the editor. There’s an extra security anti key, and mouse loggers so nobody can spy on you while accessing your database.

Although there might not be many fields to fill in, with the default option for login, password, URL, email, PIN, text, file, date, and reminder, you can easily add more items of the same type. Moreover, random values can be generated at the press of a button, in case you don’t really have a great idea for a new password.

Depending on the environment you’re working in, or a number of individuals with access to your PC, extra measures can be enabled and configured. Apart from anti-keyloggers, captcha can be enabled for the main password, editing any values, or even simple operations like drag and drop, or copy.

As mentioned above, a key file can be included in the main password requirement. For this to properly work, you can use a key file generator, which constantly randomizes values while moving your mouse, with different algorithms to use in this regard. More generators can be used for new passwords or random text strings.

Accounts can be set with limited availability for passwords. Reminders can be set so you change it, and this is an easy task taking all the built-in generators into account. In case you want a log of all records, you can export data under file formats like TXT, CSV, HTML, or XML.

In conclusion, Password Safe is a reliable application equipped with an abundance of security measures like captcha, key file, anti-keyloggers, and random string generators so only you, and authorized individuals have access to the database. The visual design is intuitive enough to let experienced users, and beginners quickly accommodate. It’s suitable for all kinds of accounts, and it’s sure to convince you to keep it around for more than a try.
