Pwsafe is a free and open-source command-line application for Unix that enables users to securely manage encrypted password databases.
One of the standout features of pwsafe is its pure command-line operation, which is ideal for remote access over ssh. Alternatively, the software can also interact with X11 selection and clipboard, giving users more flexibility in terms of how they want to manage their passwords.
pwsafe is also highly portable and can be used on a range of different operating systems, including Mac OS X, Linux, *BSD, and Solaris. It leverages a clean, endianess-clean, misaligned-access-free C codebase that compiles cleanly across these different platforms.
For those who are already using CounterPane's PasswordSafe Win32 program versions 2.x and 1.x, pwsafe is fully compatible, making it an easy and seamless transition to a new password management tool.
One thing that sets pwsafe apart from other password database managers is the humor injected into the source code in the form of funny comments. It's this attention to detail that sets pwsafe apart from the rest.
It's important to note that pwsafe supports PasswordSafe 2.0 databases, and can merge and export databases. It compiles seamlessly on gcc 3.4 and 4.0, making it accessible to a wide range of users. If you're in need of a reliable and efficient software for managing your passwords, you can't go wrong with pwsafe.
