Skip sync entirely and back up manually to any file provider you trust. PASSKEY SUPPORT Save and use passkeys alongside your passwords in the same secure vault. Password Safe is a private password and passkey manager — no cloud account required to get started. With sync, your passkeys are available on all your devices. SECURITY YOU CONTROL • AES-256 encryption on the entire vault • Optional end-to-end encrypted sync — off by default, you choose • Master password never leaves your device • Optional Face ID / Touch ID unlock (Pro) • Auto-logout and clipboard clearing by default VAULT INSIGHTS Statistics show which passwords are reused, weak, or too short — so you know exactly what to rotate next. EASE OF USE Remember one master password, access everything. An intuitive, categorized vault makes organizing hundreds of logins effortless. Whole vault encrypted with SQLCipher 4: AES-256 + HMAC-SHA512, key derived with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 (256,000 iterations, random salt).
