Password Safe allows you to safely and easily create a secured and encrypted user name/password list. With Password Safe all you have to do is create and remember a single “Master Password” of your choice in order to unlock and access your entire user name/password list.
Security starts with you, the user. Keeping written lists of passwords on scraps of paper, or in a text document on your desktop is unsafe and is easily viewed by prying eyes (both cyber-based and human). Using the same password over and over again across a wide spectrum of systems and web sites creates the nightmare scenario where once someone has figured out one password, they have figured out all your passwords and now have access to every part of your life (system, e-mail, retail, financial, work).
Password Safe allows you to manage your old passwords and to easily and quickly generate, store, organize, retrieve, and use complex new passwords, using password policies that you control. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away.
Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes.

Changelog:
New Features:
- Dutch installation instructions thank to Kees, and a first (incomplete) Dutch translation of the application thank to Bert, Kees and Fred.
- Korean texts in the application and installer program thanks to Seunggyun.
- Poserpro has provided Traditional Chinese texts for the installer program.
- New View menu option: Show entries with Expiry. This is useful for displaying entries with passwords that are expired or about to expire.
Change Existing Features:
- The password expiration warning mechanism now checks for expiration daily. The display of expired and almost-expired entries has been redesigned, allowing users to update the entry directly. When an expired password is changed, the expiry date will be cleared unless there is a recurring password expiry interval, in which case a new expiry date will be calculated.
- Double-clicking on the system tray icon when PasswordSafe is not minimized now brings it to front, instead of minimizing.
- Rename of an entry or group in the Tree View can now only be performed via the Rename shortcut (default value F2), using the Edit menu or the right-click context menu. Edit in place by double clicking the entry is no longer allowed as, most of the time, this was not the desired action.
- Filtered views are now updated when an entry's edited, e.g., if an entry is edited such that it no longer satisfies the filter's criteria, it will be removed from the display.
- The Russian online help has been totally rewritten and updated, thanks to pm_kan.
- pm_kan has updated the Russian texts
- The Spanish texts have been updated thanks to Jose.
- The Spanish texts have been updated thanks to Jose.
- Karlo has updated the German texts.
- Francois has updated the French texts.
- Bjorne has updated the Swedish version.
- freedoctor has updated the Chinese texts.
Bug Fixed:
- Fix new group creation location. When a Group is selected, then selecting 'Add Group' from the Edit menu or from the context menu displayed by right clicking on that Group, the new group will be a child of the selected group. However, when using the context menu displayed on right clicking on 'white space' below the last entry/group displayed, the group will be created at the topmost level.
- No longer crashes if search starts with Shift-Enter (search backwards).
- Windows installer will now refuse to install on Win2K, referring user to last supported version on that OS (3.18).
- Window view is now saved and restored if the user uses the Windows "Show Desktop" feature.
- No longer crashes when doing an Undo after a Merge.
- Ensure Undo/Redo honour the changes to the display of the original change.
