pws

pws software aims to be a fully compatible passwordsafe implementation. The heart of the project is libpws, a general library for reading and writing passwordsafe compatible files.

Currently, passwordsafe files format v2 and passwordsafe files format v3.2 are supported. The other part of the project is pws, a Qt-based GUI built around libpws which aims to be an easy-to-use but powerful passwordsafe implementation.

What is new in this release:

• The password database is now searchable.
• There is support for system tray icons. Databases can be merged in addition to importing, and pws supports passwordsafe style *.plk lock files.
• Several bugs were fixed.

What is new in version 0.2.1:

• Some Qt versions seem to have problems with malloc_secure()/free_secure().
• The management of secured memory regions was rearranged to use a simple linked list instead of storing the size information directly inside of the allocated memory object. This should fix these Qt issues.

Requirements:

• Libgcrypt
• Qt
