Password Safe is a database for encrypting sensitive information. Once opened with a master password, you can copy a password and paste it directly into your application. Alternatively, Password Safe supports “Auto Type” that enters the username and password into the target application by simulating keystrokes.
The database is encrypted using the Twofish encryption algorithm. A Linux version (currently in Beta) is also available from the website.
Alternatively, X-Password Safe and Password Safe Portable are stealth.

What’s new? |
PasswordSafe 3.63.0 Release May 2023Bugs fixed in 3.63.0 - GH966 Default font sizes for hi-res displays corrected (Windows).
- SF1572 GH959 Opening via system tray icon now focuses correctly on Windows 11. The fix was to change the trigger from double-click to a single click, which is consistent with other system tray icons, but is a change for PasswordSafe.
- SF1565 Dialog box texts in Czech are now rendered correctly (this should also apply to other non-Latin languages).
- GH946 Expiration dates are now the last second of the specified date, instead of the first minute. This resolves a minor inconsistency.
- GH945 Document passphrase parameters in pwsafe-cli.
Changes in 3.63.0 - Installer executable now has the “PasswordSafe” icon instead of the default NSIS Icon.
- Latvian is now supported, thanks to Jurcuks.
