   I tested this with a login security test from http://www.info-svc.com/news/2008/12-12/. There was only one point where I actually used the autologin feature. The rest of the time I was using the copy password to clip... , then closing psafe before doing next step. Even though all logins were saved in psafe (7 total), I always stated that it neither asked to save nor did it login automatically at ANY point (as it does neither to begin with). Running opera 10 beta with it's own pass mgr off, redirect off, & send referrer off, fraud protect on, & cookies for original only on, I passed 13 of the 21 'tests'. 32 steps in all. This is way better than opera, ff, ie, safari, chrome, etc's built-in mgr's. Roboform is also totally insecure.
   Try the test at the end of the dialog (lnk)
   Granted, bank websites or other potentially damaging server logins are what is at stake. Twiiter's and generally insecure email acct's, forum's etc are not all that important in the grand scheme, imho.
   As well, logins-ins such as this one: http://web.feedreader.com/ do not work with opera's pass mgr. I HAVE to use psafe.
   I believe psafe does clear clip. I know it does when it minimizes or closes. Drag & drop?? Psafe never displays details by default (Ditto NEVER shows psafe data). Nothing to grab whatsoever.
   I have ~68 logins and it uses 2048 KB idle.

   Excellent password manager, small, portable and regular updates. I much prefer KeePass since it has the option to clear the clipboard immediately upon copying/pasting and allows you to drag username/password/notes fields with the mouse directly to the input fields of your login prompts (a shortcut for cut-and-paste) which does NOT use the clipboard. Yes, Keepass also has auto-type as does Password Safe.
   
   Anomoly: KeePass 2.x is unfortunately written in .NET which accounts for it being a memory hog. Use the 1.x versions (1.6 just released Jun-6-2009) which uses 6MB in memory. Password Safe consumes 4MB.
   
   Regardless of which one you choose definitely use a password manager because using the same password for multiple site is just plain DUMB.

   Best of its kind. Regular updates and its a freeware. Thanks to the author for this great piece of software.

   Don't confuse this opensource Password Safe with the closed, proprietary Password Safe, also listed in FileForum, and which, "coincidentally", is also at version 3.12
