    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

    Keepass has a portable ed. but it uses over twice the memory on my pc. PSafe auto-alphabetizes, auto-types with a doubleclick and will then auto-minimize. You are not stuck looking at the groups as in keepass either.

    simpler than KeePass and just as functional. Nice piece of work.
