Password Safe v3.65.1 Updated

SYSTEM on 10 Mar 2024
  • 30MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 23 Feb 2024

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Alternatively, Password Safe Portable and the outdated X-Password Safe are stealth.

This version does not run on XP. The last version that did is 3.38.02, which can be accessed from sourceforge through the download page on the pwsafe.org site. There was some suggestion last year that 3.40 might be fixed to run on XP, but not so far, it seems

Password Tech v3.5.4 Updated

Andrew Lee on 21 Feb 2024
  • 14MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 15 Feb 2024
  • Suggested by I am Baas

Password Tech is a suite of security tools, including a strong random password and data file generator, text encryption tool, and master password generator.

  • Random number generator - Create lists of random characters or passphrases from word lists. Includes multiple features to select easy-to-remember passwords that still conform to security standards.
  • Text encryption - Uses the Windows clipboard (copy and paste) to encrypt text via hotkey. Also enables caching the password temporarily so you don't have to re-enter the password repeatedly.
  • Master password - Rather than storing a specific password, the program generates the same password everytime. This is created via a master and perimeter words (e.g. service + email) to generate a high security password.

Includes available hotkeys, profiles, common password filter, and more.

I recommend using KeePass v2 series, because of the flexibility it gives.

Mixture on 2016-03-11 16:17

Since KeePass upgraded to 2.32 and finally has the encryption algorithm plugin, SERPENT, I switched from portable Password Safe 3.38.01 to portable KeePass 2.32 with TwoFish, Serpent, GOST, and Salsa20 encryption algorithm plugins.

@thepiney: Same here. I've used magnet links no problem. The only time I've had errors is when the program loses access to the downloaded torrent files while it's still trying to share them (if you deleted or moved the downloaded files without deleting the torrent file). I moved from uTorrent because they started adding advertising, but there are settings tweaks to remove it.

JudyGarland on 2019-12-05 06:31

Qbittorrent does not support Windows XP and Vista anymore from v.4.2.0, though 'portableapps' seems not aware of that.
Please update 'System Requirements' section.

Hi, from the changelog of qbittorrent 4.2.1: (not the portableapps.com version)

How to extract 2. should be: "for portable config put config.cfg in portable folder root, beside license.txt" Source: https://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree/#downl
Look for: Microsoft windows portable archive.
Otherwise settings are written to the user profile folder

Andrew Lee on 2023-12-20 07:08

@Ennovy: Though worded slightly differently, they seem to mean the same thing? Basically just create an empty "config.cfg" in the root folder, a rather typical technique used by many other portable apps.

Ennovy on 2023-12-20 08:47

@Andrew: I had already changed it. Before that the instruction was to create the config file in the bin directory which is incorrect.
