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Alternatively, Password Safe Portable and the outdated X-Password Safe are stealth.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

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

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.

nPassword is a password manager that encrypts a variety of sensitive information, cataloged in an searchable, easy-to-organize tree view. You can add bookmarks, website login/passwords, define macro sequences to fill web forms, or enter record information directly using the quick password popup feature (by pressing Win+X). It includes with a built-in password generator with that generates "speakable" (looks like a nonsense word) and "secure" (fully random) passwords.
The program also includes a password reveal tool for other tools that have a saved password that shows up as masked (*******).
The database can be compressed to save disk space and improve loading time. Uses 256-bit AES encryption with an optional master password.

I had a problem with this application whereby when you first encrypt your database, if you happen to have a backup of the database, that backup does not get encrypted. It is an oversight, in my opinion. To solve it, you should delete any backups previous to encrypting (setting a password) on the database. |

Just a warning - do not enable the 'Password Protect while in System Tray' option without also enabling the 'Minimise to Taskbar Tray' option as well. If you only enable the 'Password Protect' option, and you minimise the program to the Taskbar, when you restore the window, and then try and do anything, you will receive a crash that will likely corrupt your password database.

@CB13RY: from my quick checking, it seems that if you run the portable version once, it creates a 'Settings.ini' file in the application folder; you can edit this file with any text editor to change the paths included -- I was able to change from absolute path to filename only... |
