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 3.62.0 Release Feb 2023Bugs fixed in 3.62.0 - SF1570 PasswordSafe no longer crashes when adding a new entry in a filtered view.
Changes in 3.62.0 - Text (CSV) import is more lenient in what it accepts, to ease importing data from other password managers.
- When the password is shown, the “Confirm Password:” text is hidden, as the confirmation text box is used to display the length of the password. Hopefully this makes things less confusing.
- SF890 “Recurring” checkbox is now set by default, as this seems to be the more common use-case when setting password expiration in days.
