Passwørd Safe
A simple, secure, open source password storage tool which allows you to keep all your passwords in one file, protected with a single passphrase.
Available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris.
Download and Installation
- Requires Java
- Download PasswordSafe.jar and save it to a folder of your choice.
- Double-click PasswordSafe.jar to start.
Features
- Simplicity: This program stores your passwords, nothing else.
- Security: Your passwords are stored in an encrypted file, engineered to make a brute force attack somewhat difficult.
- Portability: the program runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, or any other platform where Java is installed.
Security
The program uses
scrypt password-based key derivation function,
256-bit
AES cipher
in
EAX mode. Random numbers, essential for generating salt and nonce,
are provided by a SHA-512 digest-based generator which uses standard JVM SecureRandom implementation
as well as entropy sourced from the user keyboard and mouse events.
The tool uses
Bouncy Castle cryptographic library.
On-screen keyboard provides additional protection against naïve key loggers.
The
file format specification is publicly available.
History
This tool is inspired by an open source
Password Safe program.
I wanted to have similar functionality in a platform-independent tool written in Java.
