Password Safe

Password Safe is a very simple yet efficient piece of software that was created to spare you from having to remember countless login credentials for your various online accounts, enabling you to store all such data in a password-protected vault.

In what concerns its appearance, the application is fairly underwhelming, particularly for more advanced individuals, yet it will fit novices like a glove.

The main window of Password Safe displays the previously added accounts, allowing you to manage them with ease, either by inputting new entries, editing existing ones or removing them.

The first time you run the program, you will be required to enter a passphrase of at least six alphanumeric characters, as well as confirm it, to ensure you wrote it correctly.

Make sure you remember it, as Password Safe offers no recovery options whatsoever, so any data you store under it will be permanently lost if you forget it. As a security measure, you will need to provide this passkey every time you launch the utility, prior to viewing the contents of the database.

When adding a new account, you need to assign it a title, then specify the username and password, along with any additional notes you feel might be necessary, as there is no character limit. This means you can even enter other private information, to keep it away from prying eyes.

While you do not have the possibility of creating different categories of entries or even different profiles, Password Safe can be run in multiple instances from different folders, using distinct keys so you can protect unrelated data.

In short, Password Safe is a useful and reliable tool that you can resort to, should you have trouble remembering the access information for your numerous online accounts, as it stores them all in a secure location.
