What pwSafe is
pwSafe is a password manager for storing and managing online credentials on iOS and macOS. It synchronizes passwords across iOS devices and Macs through iCloud or Dropbox and supports unlimited safes, groups, and entries. Search covers all fields, while password tools include a configurable generator, password history, One-Time Passwords, and passkeys. The iOS app supports Touch ID, Face ID, AutoFill for apps and websites, iCloud Drive syncing, third-party file provider extensions, and AirPrint. The Mac app includes browser extensions designed to fill login details without exposing passwords to the browser. macOS Password AutoFill is currently limited to Safari because Apple does not allow other browsers to connect to it. Mac users can use a YubiKey as a second authentication factor. pwSafe uses the Password Safe file format, described as open source and supported by compatible clients on other platforms. Optional Cloud Backups retain encrypted safe copies, with unlimited versions subject to Terms of Use storage limits. Huvisoft BV, based in The Netherlands, makes pwSafe.
