What is Reddit's opinion of PasswdSafe - Password Safe?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

PasswdSafe. It's an Android port of Password Safe, which I've been using on Windows for years. Originally designed by Bruce Schneier. Free, open source. Can sync through various means. Includes a keyboard to make it easier to paste passwords into other apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jefftharris.passwdsafe&hl=en

I can't figure out why people like and are willing to pay for Lastpass when Password Safe is free and open source and works on multiple OS's.

link me: password safe

PasswdSafe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jefftharris.passwdsafe has no builtin cloud sync (backup and restore and interdevice syncing is left for you to do), but its files are portable among the many versions on many platforms, and it's reputable, open source originally written by Bruce Schneier and ported to many different platforms. It generates strong random passwords if you wish, has search and folder organization and useful fields like username, system, email, url, and notes, and shows the last time the entry was edited. On Android it can be enabled as a keyboard so your password never needs to go through the (world readable) clipboard.

Get PasswdSafe, paste passwords directly from the app without using the clipboard. Also avoid hardware with questionable security, like anything from mainland China, as tempting as that shiny new Xiamo or Huawei is.

Most Android password managers have the ability to tell the OS it's also a keyboard app.

Usual workflow involves me browsing, decide to log in. I switch to my password manager app, then open the password record I need. Switch back to other app(such as Chrome), hit the "keyboard" button to select my input method. Select password manager. Password manager pops up in place of usual keyboard, then I hit the Email or Username field, depending on which is needed. Select Password field, hit password button, then hit the "enter" key on the password manager's keyboard. Boom, I'm logged in.

My particular password manager is PasswdSafe, but I would be surprised if it's the only one that has this ability.

Ich benutze PassWordSafe jetzt schon seit vielen Jahren auf meinem PC und könnte nicht zufriender sein. Es gibt auch einen Klon im Plays Store sowie eine App zum syncronisieren mit Google Drive oder ähnlichem. So habe ich alle meine Passwörter immer griffbereit egal wo ich unterwegs bin. Das ganze ohne Werbung, ohne monatliche Kosten und seit Jahren völlig stabil ohne Ausfälle, dumme Updates oder Datenverlust.

Was. Will. Man. Mehr.

I like Passwd Safe:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jefftharris.passwdsafe, android port of Bruce Schneier's pwsafe http://pwsafe.org. No built in cloud sync, that's your responsibility, but it's completely open source, and the file format is compatible with the ports to other platforms.

The Android port can act as a keyboard. When you get to a login page, open passwd safe, open the entry for the account, switch back to the login page, then switch to the passwd safe keyboard: it has big buttons for entering userid, email, password fields from the passwd safe entry. Your password doesn't need to go through the globally readable clipboard.

Looks like f-droid is being weird, the link works fine when I let the f-droid app service it, bug 404 in a browser. https://pwsafe.org/ is the cross-platform project home, Google Play is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jefftharris.passwdsafe, but the f-droid website doesn't know it. Search within the f-droid app works fine, too.

PasswdSafe and PasswdSafe Sync. Syncs password files via Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or ownCloud.

you can download password safe here for your pc: http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/

for my phone, i use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jefftharris.passwdsafe&hl=en

i imagine there is another one for iphone. as long as the password manager you're using if you go this route is compatible with password safe databases, you should be fine.

there is another program called keepass which a lot of people love, personally i like something a little more lightweight feature wise, which is why i went with password safe.

so yeah, my basic setup in a nutshell is my desktop, laptop, and phone have password safe installed as well as apps for the cloud storage i use. they all access the cloud storage to synch passwords and everything, then its just a matter of copy pasting :D

keepass has a lot of advanced features and i think even a chrome extension you can use? i havent really messed with it in quite a while so it might be worth looking into also

pwsafe .. nuff said :)

• Secure
• Open Source
• Cross platform (at least with windows via dropbox, so you're in control yourself!)
• Designed by Bruce Fucking Schneier!
• Released in 2002 and still free :)

Android version passwdsafe

.. and there's no mention of that? The first and probably last password manager I've used.

I know that it's a bit old school - but I use Password safe in this respect - and I expect that it could work for you in this scenario.

1) PC: https://pwsafe.org/
2) Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jefftharris.passwdsafe&hl=en_US&gl=US
3) Password Safe Sync: [Optional] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jefftharris.passwdsafe.sync&hl=en_US&gl=US

I keep the safe (which is protected by a strong password) on my Google Drive (which is protected by strong password & MFA) - which is good enough (IMHO) for the passwords that I keep in there. (All personal - no work passwords- we have a vault at work). I used the "Sync" application before there was a more robust Google drive application on Android - nowadays the sync between the phone & laptop works well enough without it.

There is not - nor do I believe that there will ever be - an iOS Password Safe application, so that would be a future limiting factor. But the price (and security level) is good for me.

isn't on the list either? Is that not considered a major password manager?

How does Bitwarden compare to PasswdSafe?

There is an open source android port. It's called PasswdSafe - Password Safe.

this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jefftharris.passwdsafe&hl=en

pwsafe: home, android, cloud sync

There is also a password safe implementation for Android: PasswdSafe

I use Password Safe (https://pwsafe.org/), backup my safe from my desktop on Mega, so I can acess it from anywhere. I can use the Mega app to get my files to use with the mobile build or there's a sync app that works with Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and ownCloud.

Increasing security is almost always going to make things less convenient.

This is specifically what I personally use on linux, but there's a version for linux directly available at the link posted by /u/mickeyknoxnbk as well, see here (and if you use Arch, the latter is available in AUR). On my Android phone, I use this app.

Actually I was using this one, but that one looks better. IDK maybe I'll switch to keepass

It might just be sentimental at this point, but I've always been fond of this one. Has a desktop client as well.

Try out PasswordSafe. It's a password manager like Keeppass or Lastpass, but it's open source and you store your passwords in an encrypted file.

• On my desktops I use PasswordSafe, which has a Java version that will work on Windows, Linux, OS X, etc.
• On my phone I use PasswdSafe and PasswdSafe Sync, which allows you to sync your password file from Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.
• On my Chromebook I use another beta version of PasswdSafe made to work in ChromeOS's android emulator.

So I make my password file on my desktop in Java PasswordSafe. I sync it into google drive. I can then use it on my phone in the app, or on my chromebook. I don't edit the file on either, but I can use it.
