I find PasswordSafeSWT to be excellent. I got it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpwsafe/ and got it running on Snow Leopard with this hint: http://compileyouidontevenknowyou.blogspot.com/2009/08/passwordsafe-on-osx.html When 0.8 comes out, it will work without any work-arounds. Looking at the SVN check-ins, one can see that it is being actively developed. That's great news - first, because it opened my psafe3 database from Password Gorilla on Linux, second, because it's free (as opposed to $40, plus periodic upgrade fees). Secure, portable, free.

Some people with large gardens will buy mantis cases in the spring and attach them to shrubs, trees, etc. Typically a case will hatch 100+. They are great for getting rid of unwanted insects. Unfortunately they die off in the winter in Minnesota. I would suspect it came from a neighbor.

Hasn't been updated since 2007. This may explain some of your issues. Just tried Password Gorilla (on the mac) and it looks nice, and reasonably stable. -- hasn't been updated since 2006 though.

The PasswordSafe SWT seems to have problems with 2/3 of the safe's I tried to open that were created with the Windows version.

If I was a bad guy, I'd be loving the current exhibitionist trend on FaceBook and other sites, of the "25 things about me" which are FULL of secret question answers. In fact, you could phish someone pretty easy with one of those... 1. Guess one of your "friends" bank. 2. Write down the questions you have to choose from when creating an account. 3. Insert into the "25 things .." list. 4. PROFIT!!! It’s worse than that.

The import and export did not work as suggested between keepass and passwordsafe. But other than that on windows its the best and saved me a lot of heartattacks. Now I also own a Mac and was pleasantly surprised to see the same program PasswordSafeSWT. Trying this out but at least I have some hope on the mac. Venkat Team,
