Password Safe

This is a great way to store all of your passwords. I feel more secure using a separate device than storing them using the cloud or anything on my computer. You only need to remember one master password. You type the master password when you access it. Then you can put in the web site, the user name, and the password. No more sheets with hints. You can also put in bank account numbers, and credit card account numbers. Two things I had to figure out when I started to use it. 1) If you want to get the red punctuation marks above the numbers, don't press the red key. If you do you will turn the device off and then have to input your password again. Instead use the shift key. 2) If you want to go back to the previous action, press the red line just below the word action (which is just below the window). Other than these two things it was totally intuitive. I have started using random passwords and will no longer be using the same passwords for more than one site. My data will definitely be more secure, I am pleased that the device will not lose the passwords when you change the batteries. Best of all, it is the same device sold on the Sharper Image website, with free shipping : )

Bought Password Safe 090419, delivered 090719. It measures 4-7/8" (12cm) by 3-1/2" (9 cm) wide & about 1" thick (it tapers to 3/8"). Cons: no comma, semi-colon, lower case x looks like H, & I couldn't get the - to work. Pros: Easy to handle & make entries, backlight really helps in a darkened room. Eval: I entered 5 URLs with passwords (recorded elsewhere) and edited each in turn. After entering a new password I turned the device off, then on again. None of the other URLs or passwords were erased or altered in any way (previous complaint). You can enter passwords of 20 to 22 characters (it varies), depending on which characters are used. Since my passwords are longer I often wrote "see below" in the password area and entered the password in the Notes area. I also made comments like "entry #3 is a small X, not an H", or "character = is a dash -" , or " : is a comma"., etc. Screen entries are much easier to read than entries made on the Royal Password Vault, which I evaluate elsewhere. I would have evaluated other competitors, but no one sent me one. Summary: This is a useful, easy to use device for recording spur-of-the-moment passwords. It may also keep you from logging in to untrustworthy networks while traveling. Stars were reduced because the comma, semi-colonand dash were omitted. Worth having, worth the money, glad I bought it. 4.8 Stars. CDW

For our most sensitive passwords I am a big fan of offline password management. To date (Dec 2017), best I can tell this is the best of offline password vault devices available on the market, although it is pretty clunky. I have two of these and they have functioned well as claimed so far. But given my concerns / wishes, for several years I have also been monitoring for better alternatives but so far no luck -- but I will update this review if I ever find any. PROS: - Basically does what it claims ... it is an offline, secure password/sensitive information vault. - Each password entry supports multiple lines of text / special chars (limited, but good). - Don't recall its total capacity, but we have dozens of entries. - Batteries last long (for me, w/light usage, for at least a year). - I have been able to safely (w/o data loss) change the batteries (I carefully do this annually). - My 2 devices have been reliable so far (but a few reviewers claim their devices failed and lost data). - Reasonably good construction. CONS: - Clunky user interface and keyboard -- editing entries is doable, but tiresome. - Limited 3-line display but I'd prefer (and would pay) for a larger screen. - Good construction but I'd prefer (and would pay) for even better construction and quality. - Enough reviewers complain devices failed so do NOT use as your ONLY copy of vital data. - Does not come with a case, although I found one from Amazon that works pretty good. Bottom Line: Performs well enough as claimed and I recommend this product, although I hope some day to upgrade to something better.

I actually had a password safe from another store and just recently purchased one from Amazon to have two of these units. I cannot vouch for how long the unit will last, but only that I actually tested everything on the unit and it does work as advertised. I took the battery out to see if the unit will lose its memory, but sure enough, it has flash memory and worked again after reinstalling the batteries. The unit has three important items you need. You can use the website or name of what you intend to file alphabetically by the unit. The second item is usually your user name and last of all a place to store your password. It also has a note section to store notes on that password you have stored. I also owned the password fast that is good for traveling and much harder to input than the password safe. To me, password safe is fun and easy to use. It is a very well thought out device.

works great, a lot of entering your passwords. Dont use your name, bday, kids bday, make a password for this that is complicated but that you can remember.

Cumple con el propósito para el que fue comprado. Le pongo 4 estrellas porque por el precio considero que los materiales de construcción se sienten no de tan buena calidad.

Not very easy to navigate

Bei mittlerweile über 20 verschiedene Passwörter und Zugänge einfach ein tolles Teil! Nie mehr Ersatz Passwörter anfordern :) Sehr zu empfehlen!

I only received my password safe gadget two days ago , so it's too soon IMO to give it a proper review. So far I am very happy with it and not encountered the problems some have mentioned elsewhere. I do find the symbols on the two top lines a little difficult to read, but I have learned where my most used ones are . Their are two OK buttons , one is in the middle of the direction arrows to the right of the screen, the other is to the right of the space bar at the bottom, it seems to do do exactly the same functions as the top one, but is more handy when you're typing in details. To enter one or more capital letters you have to use the cap lock button. On screen the letters, numbers and symbols are produced by dots, so some do look a bit strange at first, I found the lower case L rather strange but it's very easy to tell o from zero the zero has a diagonal line through it . As mine is so new, I have no idea how long the three AAA battery's last, or the durability of this handy gadget. To use the gadget you have to enter a password, according to the instruction leaflet, which I must add is very east to understand , if you enter the wrong password 5 times, it will lock up for 30 mins.and will keep doing so till you put in the correct one. If you cannot remember the password , you have to insert something like a pen nib where it says erase. Which will then erase all data entered, I think then you have to do the same with the reset button but am not totally sure on that bit, this will free up the gadget for use but you have to set it up from scratch again, I know it is a pain if you ever have to do this, but it does mean that your data is safe, unless of course others know your gadgets password IMO it's to big to fit in a lot of pockets . I have no intention of taking mine outside. But if you need to ,a brief case, bum bag hand or computer bag would be best It does have a good back light which you can turn off, I haven't tried mine out in sunlight. It has a flash memory , so you won't lose anything when you change the batteries If I encounter any faults or problems I will update this review. I am also using it as an address book., by putting names in the web area , telephone nu in the ID area, email in the password area and address in the note area. I'm sure I will find some other uses too. I am pleased I got this one

It works fine and is very compact.
