Easy to access. Wonderful app.

Unable to open an existing password safe encrypted psafe3 file

I have a Windows PC with the password safe desktop app. I decided to try the iPhone app but this app is unable to open files encrypted with that Windows password safe app. To make things worse, it corrupts the file and I have to restore from back up.

Excellent Package Excellent Service

I have been using the app for about four years and it works great straight out of the box. However. you can easily configure it to have multiple databases (think work and home) and multiple configurations within each data base. I run it across both my IPad and IPhone. It syncs seamlessly and automatically using the ICloud. The ability to have all my passwords available to me at anytime while keeping them incripted is reassuring. And the ability to fill in the usernames and passwords through the app for most sights allow you to have passwords that are complicated and difficult (app can even be prompted to supply a random password) with out the input agony. While the app has a password history, URL and email fields to help you go record all the normal information you require, the ability to enter notes gives you the flexibility to enter memo type items. Finally of note is the service. As hard as it is to make a mistake I just did a doozie. I immediately contacted manufacturer and actually received a concise reply to my problem within 4 hours!! The only thing stoping me from giving this app 6 stars is that the rating system is that it does not allow you to go that high. However, a possible couple of suggestions to even make the app even more powerful is the ability to create user defined fields and a little cleaner (easier to use, understand, or instructions?) for backing up and restoring files. The rest is so easy (but powerful) and helpful even ‘tis 68 year old cave man can do it.

Too complicated

I use the pc version and it works great. The app version is frustrating. Every time I go to open my safe I have to tell the app where to find the the file. Also uses file ext of safe3. If you are trying to keep the file secret that’s too obvious. I don’t use the default ext so it’s an extra step to find the file. I can’t see my wife (way more technical than she can stand) using this because of the number of steps just to open this.

Annoyed beyond belief

I kept getting this quirk where if I opened file from google drive offline or not it would whack the psafe file(0 byte length) so I would have to restore from previous version. As of today the app just touches the file and does something weird, it not only destroyed the file but also the metadata so I can’t restore the previous version. Luckily the desktop version had created Ibak so now I have something. No way to get this app to work on iOS. Guess I’ll have to switch to dashlane, or last pass this is a sad day for me.

Poor reviews are not justified

Pay no attention the to poor reviews. That person is obviously very confused and doesn’t even seem to be reading the developers response. pwSafe is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Free syncing with my Apple devices (iCloud). Password protection upon opening the safe. If you are a multi-device (non Apple) type person then you will need the DropBox add-on. Would be nice to see other storage supported (Google, Box). I personally don’t need them but for families like my brother who have Android devices mixed with Apple devices it would be helpful.

Ow safe

I am a 76 yo grandfather who has used this program successfully for 2 years. There has !not been a single "Oh no !!" Or "Help me !!" Moment. The program is easy to use and quite effective in generating and managing my 40+ pass words.

Inexpensive & effective

I’ve used this app for several years, nearly flawlessly & 2 days ago it suddenly quit showing my safes. Today I rec’d an email from tech support which provided the steps to restore the safes (somehow they were deleted in iCloud). I can breathe again knowing my nearly 300 pws aren’t lost. But it would be nice if the developer was more prompt in responding to support requests.

Terrible app

If you ever lose or forget your password , you can never use this app again. I also tried to reinstall the app and they charged me for it again but then told me there was no option to ever use it since I could not remember my original password!

Extremely buggy

This app has the right idea, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work the way you expect it to. When I put in numbers in the notes, it duplicates the numbers and basically messes up what you’re trying to convey. Creating an entry doesn’t end up with what you expected it to be. If there was a moneyback guarantee, I’d want my money back. It’s not all be at. I like the fact that it is on the cloud and appears on all my devices. That’s probably the best feature of the program. A nice feature is that if you select an entry it automatically copies the password to the clipboard. Folders are mentioned throughout but I couldn’t figure out how to get an entry into a folder. The app has a higher learning curve.
