  • What a Mess

    This app is in desperate need for fixes. This morning I opened it and my own safe was gone. Fortunately, my wife and I share our safes, and she was able to share my safe back with me. When I contacted them there was a techie response about sync issue that made no sense. For past few months this app also doesn’t automatically fill passwords like it used to. Unfortunately, we use this app to share our passwords with our grown up children. Now they have been using for their own purposes so I feel bad for misdirecting them.

  • The best

    I’ve used Password Safe for at least 15 years, it’s the most secure way to manage passwords because everything is encrypted locally. I keep my safe in iCloud drive where it can be accessed by this app.

    This app works flawlessly, haven’t had a single issue in the years I’ve been using it. I appreciate that there’s no subscription too. Developers, if you have a “buy me a coffee” link or similar I’d be happy to send you money for your continued work!

    In short, the best way to securely store passwords across platforms (I have a Windows desktop and Apple devices) is Password Safe and this app.

  • PWSafe is truly the best

    Password managers have become ubiquitous in the past 10 years. This section of the tech industry has more claims about one being better than the other than any other industry. Password managers need to only do a couple things right for security, high-level encryption, db accessibility from the iCloud or Google cloud and able to generate passwords.

    This app does it all and I have been using password safe, which is a sourceforge project for about 20 years. The makers of this app have perfected it and there is no reason to ever look at another password manager. The only thing that password safe does not do compared to all the others, is, it will not autofill. Autofilling in general is insecure and password safe is truly the most secure password manager option on the planet.

  • Easy To Use - Reliable - Good Support

    The app does what it is supposed to do without having to read and reread confusing setup instructions. After entering a few basic questions and your login information for different sites, you are up and running. It syncs perfectly across iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. Customer service responds promptly. After using pwSafe for years, I have nothing but good things to say about the app.

  • One of the few apps I will pay full price for

    I think the title says it all I’ve paid full price for this app from day one and used all the features and it works flawlessly I’ve communicated with developers and they respond well I can’t say enough good things about this app you should have it if you don’t you’re an idiot
  • An indispensable companion for your iOS

    This gives a complete, secure way to manage your passwords across iOS and MacOS platforms. With the ability to have its data stored on iCloud or Dropbox, you can access the data from one device, make changes, and later access from different devices reflects those changes!

    You can have an unlimited number of safes, groups and items and because the database is stored in the long standing, proven format used by the Password Safe open source project, you can make use of this apps database on other platforms such as MS Windows, Linux, and any OS that can run the Java version of the Open Source Password Safe. This figured heavily in my decision as I used Password Safe for years before getting my first iOS device.

    That said, this app went beyond my expectations in terms of features, reliability and ease of use - including the ease of setting up multiple devices to access my password data! This app has served with A++ distinction. Highly recommended!

  • I don’t know what I’d do without this site!!

    This site is Amazing! With everything needing a password nowadays and needing to be safe means having a different password for just about everything, this site has been amazing! It has saved me so many times! I highly recommend this safe and secure site! I have been using it for many years! ( I first heard of it through the Cozi calendar site 🙂).

  • A must have app

    I have been using pwSafe since 2014 and I can't imagine living without it now. I use it along with the companion Mac app and the free Windows app. I now have just under 300 unique account passwords synchronized across all my platforms, iPad, iPhone, Mac and PC. Additionally, I manage accounts for a disabled family member and am able to keep their passwords in a separate safe.

    I have recommended this app to friends and family for years. I’ve never tried one of the other password apps that have bigger name recognition because this one does everything I need. Without this app, I would need to either have the same password for many accounts or keep a list in an app like Notes. Both of those are extremely bad ideas.

  • A Must Have App

    Just got my annual notice for pwSafe and it’s probably the best $8.99 I’ll spend all year. I never have to worry about my passwords since I’ve begun using pwSafe several years ago. And the App always works - no worries about its compatibility with each new iOS release, either.
    Thanks for doing such an outstanding job. The app is a must have as far as I’m concerned. And you can quote me on that.

  • Doesn’t support YubiKey!!!

    I have been happily using pwSafe for years... since the first version. I am downgrading my rating to 3 stars because pwSafe does not yet support a physical security key like the popular YubiKey 5ci.

    pwSafe is a security tool. You are reading my review so you must care about security too. You will keep almost all of your most important passwords in your password manager tool. Don’t you want to protect your master password with some sort of 2FA? This is a major enough flaw that I’m willing to take my passwords over to a competitor. There are several big names that support YubiKey today.

    The desktop version—Password Safe—supports YubiKey but the iOS version does not.
