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Alternatively, Password Safe Portable and the outdated X-Password Safe are stealth.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

@Orca: TPFC is an entirely volunteer site; what you describe is the result of past policy that has since been changed. Feel free to submit a KeePass 2 entry. Or post in the forums calling attention from the moderator team.

File won't download - says file doesn't exist

Onesimus Prime on 2008-12-11 07:31

This seems to be the current download page:
http://www.zeraha.org/file.43.html
I don't know if it changes by version number or what...

Oh, and that download is a .rar file, meant for USB drives, so you shouldn't have to do the whole UniExtract thing.

BGM on 2013-06-28 14:34

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.

It's repeatable, and has been reported to the program author as a bug. If you have both options enabled, there is no problem. It is only when you have the password protect option enabled and the minimise option disabled that the problem occurs.

@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...
