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.

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).
