Password Safe 3.19

Rony Shapiro - (Open Source)

Password Safe is a simple application that manages the passwords in a database offering access to them by providing only a master password.

Password Safe allows you to manage all your passwords and user names safely and only having to remember one master password. It brings all the passwords in a database and the storage is completely secure because the data is encrypted.

This way the user does not have to keep the passwords written on papers, keeping them exposed. It also helps him to have individual password for each application that requires it because having one password would compromise the security of the documents, email accounts, bank accounts, work etc.

Editor's review:

Password Safe is your passwords guardian offering a very convenient way to store and manage your passwords especially if you are dealing with many important accounts that requires remembering passwords. It is advisable to keep in mind all your passwords but if the number of your password overcomes your memory, keeping in mind just ONE master password that offers the access to the rest of your password is a great solution.

Password Safe Editor's pick - Excellent software

Password Safe Editor's pick - Excellent software

What we like:

- It is simple and lightweight;
- It secures all the passwords that you need to keep in mind;
- Its purpose is very useful especially when it comes to handle a huge amount of accounts that use passwords - you only have to keep in mind one password;
- It has a clear layout being very easy to use.
Our suggestion:

We suggest to the developer to add to the application the possibility to:
- offer the possibility to select multiple entries simultaneously;
- work on more operating system as at the moment it only works on Windows OS.
We also have a suggestion for the user: not to reveal the master password because all your secured passwords will become unsecure - but this is up to you.

New Features for 3.19
=====================
[2832983] The Edit/View dialog now shows the details of the entry being edited/viewed in its title caption (This is updated when saving the entry).
[2832810] A new email field has been added, supporting email headers 'to', 'subject', 'cc', 'bcc' and 'body' (per RFC 2368 - see online help for details). If this field is not empty, it is used instead of the URL field even if that contains an email address.
Note: whereas the URL field had to have the 'mailto:' prefix to denote an email address rather than a URL, the email field must not contain this prefix.
[] PasswordSafe now handles Vista (and later) logoff, shutdown & restart more gracefully, giving the user now has more time to save a modified database.
[] Add new AutoType special fields 'wnnn' and 'Wnnn'. Unlike 'd', which sets the delay between sending each subsequent character, 'w' & 'W' introduces a one-time delay where they appear. For 'w', the value 'nnn' is in milli-seconds. For 'W', this specifies seconds.
Note: Max. value is 999s (16m 39s), during which time PasswordSafe will be unresponsive while it waits the specified time. Also supported via the Run Command $a command.
[] Add menu item to copy the Run Command to the clipboard.
[] Support Run Command and Double-Click Action (and email) fields in Filters.

Changes to Existing Features in 3.19
====================================
[] Changing the Security option to lock Password Safe when the workstation is locked, no longer requires a restart of Password Safe to come into effect.
[] Due to the French keyboard not supporting the key '-' in an accelerator, the shortcut for "Password Subset" has been changed from "Ctrl + -" to "Ctrl + B". Please do not allocate "Ctrl + -" to any shortcut if you will be using a French keyboard.
[] If a dialog is open (e.g. Add, Edit, Options etc.) and Password Safe is minimized, the Close and Exit options are no longer in the System Tray context menu. The user must first Restore the application and close the dialog before being able to close the database or exit the program.
[] If preferences stored in the database are changed, the user will be asked if they want to save them in the database when closing the database or application even if none of the entries have been changed.
[] The preference to Lock the Database after a certain amount of idle time has changed from being a global parameter affecting all databases opened by the user to be specific to each database.
