What's New in PW

2.0.1

August 11, 2026

Important: PW now ignores spaces in service names to match the Mac and web apps. This changes the generated password for any service name that previously contained spaces. This update also fixes a password-input issue that could affect generated results while editing, makes the special-* copy action work correctly, copies the raw generated password, keeps copied passwords on this device instead of Universal Clipboard, keeps V1 results visible for listed services, and makes Return dismiss the keyboard reliably.

Pw

Is this the same (upgraded) app as the “PW “ before ? If it is, then this would be a total failure !

Simple but effective

I started using it with my old password to create newer stronger passwords. Means I don't have worry about remembering a unique password for each app I have.

Simple app for the complex world of password management!

I'm always forgetting my ever-growing list of passwords, and I find it frustrating to remember them all. This app provides a quick solution to my password management - saving me time and Hassel but at the same time providing me with very secure unique passwords. Simple interface which is easy to use - sweet!

What an idea!

Such a great idea, this has changed the way I compute long and complex passwords, who would have though that technology could provide such an easy way to protect my stuff. Would like to thank the developer for creating this, it has changed my (password creating) life.
