Password Safe is a free and open source software program for storing passwords in Microsoft Windows. A beta version is also available for Ubuntu (including the Kubuntu and Xubuntu derivatives) and Debian operating systems. A Java-based version is also available on SourceForge.
Design
After filling in the master password the user has access to all account data entered and saved previously. The data can be organized by categories, searched, and sorted based on references which are easy for the user to remember.[1] The key combination Ctrl+C copies the password of a selected account into the clipboard, Ctrl+U copies user ID. The program can be set to minimize automatically after a period of idle time and clears the clipboard. It is possible to compare and synchronize two different password databases.
History
The program was initiated by Bruce Schneier at Counterpane Systems,[2] and is now hosted on SourceForge and developed by a group of volunteers.[3]
Reception
Reviewers have highlighted the program's simplicity as its best feature.[4]
