"Can't do without it"
Version: Password Safe 3.27
Pros
Keeps all of my personal information and passwords in a safe place.
Cons
Can't recover data if you forget your password. There's no method to provide a help or reminder and the database is lost forever (or until you remember)
Summary
This is a terrific product and the price is wonderful. The creator(s)are to be commended.

"Has saved me many times from forgot password probs"
Version: Password Safe 3.26
Pros
allows groups and subgroups
personal database does not have to be stored locally
can paste information to other programs e.g. browser
It is freeCons
What if you forget the master password?
Does not always load into the notification - not sure why.Summary
Does the job of remembering the passwords one uses for internet access very well. The data is heavily encrypted so can't be easily hacked to get this information. It means only one password needs to be remembered.

"Fantastic utility"
Version: Password Safe 3.26
Pros
Easy to use, intuitive and love the ability to go directly to a URL.
Cons
1. Does not have a reminder of how to find the password if it is forgotten.
2. Newer versions won't open older versions of the database
3. Doesn't provide username or password directly to a URL login.
4. Won't create multiple groups at 1st levelSummary
This is a tremendously valuable tool. It's easy to learn and use and I wouldn't be without it. The fact it is open source and 'free' is wonderful and unbelievable. Thanks to the creators and maintainers of this great product.

"A good little app gets better with each update!"
Version: Password Safe 3.26
Pros
Easy to use, Easy to protect, easy to maintain.
Cons
doesn't add date automatically to backups.
Summary
I've used this for many years; it's about the best safe database for keeping track of accounts, user names, and passwords I've found. Even has a Droid app for my phone (which I don't really need)! Eliminates the need for remembering all your passwords - OR, more importantly - using the same password(s) for all of your secure apps.
-
"Outstanding program."
Version: Password Safe 3.26
Pros
Easy and simple to use and generates secure passwords.
Cons
Nothing that I find so far.
Summary
Simple and easy to use and appears to be very secure. Generates passwords for you if you desire. Passwords are random and appears to be secure.
-
"Does exactly what it is supposed to do."
Version: Password Safe 3.26
Pros
Very reliable and leaves a small footprint
Cons
Version 3.26 will not import backups from previous versions.
Summary
Good and very simple to use but the creators need to fix it so that it will import the backups created by its earlier versions. That is the only reason I did not give it Five Stars.
