Pros and cons of pwSafe 2 - Password Safe app for iPhone and iPad

pwSafe 2 - Password Safe app good for

This is a great tool to keep a lot of information safe, yet accessible: website & email user names & passwords, bank account numbers, WiFi passwords, lock combinations, passport numbers & related info. Keep the info accessible on your phone, computer, and tablet through a secure cloud service such as Dropbox, iCloud, etc.

Ive had this app for over 3 years and it is very reliable. It has the ability to sync over multiple devices and I use it on my tablet, phone and computer. I like the fact it uses the fingerprint unlock feature.

I have two phones and would really appreciate being able to share the pwfile.

Easy to use and an awesome app to keep track of PWs, user names and other info.

Could not live without this app. Use it often due to my non-memory life long status. All my adult family members use it.

only app i found that works across android, iphone/ipad, mac, PC, AND debian linux with (ok wait for it) NO need to export your data to some cloud service. My passwords are the last thing i want in the cloud regardless of how well encrypted. I can keep all my devices in sync with a home NAS, pendrive, or worst case email on a private server without ever having my private data cross a cloud service or the internet. the app and its companions merge data flawlessly without a controlling copy in the cloud. for those of us that are completely paranoid, this is the place to go.

Some bad moments

I am having some issues with the app and need to talk to someone to get them sorted out..it is impossible to get the help you need.

This app is awful. Your password safe may simply disappear, and when it does it takes all of your passwords go with it.

After years of using his app and saving dozens of passwords, out of no where, it dumped them all. Thought theyd be saved in the cloud but cant seem to recover them. Additionally in order to use the fingerprint verification: step one- use finger print. Step two: enter master password. Step three: enter ANOTHER password. Looking for something better....

I have a huge problem because of pwSafe - had all my passwords stored with pwSafe in icloud, then from one day to the next, the pwSafe file with my passwords disappeared and everything was lost. The entire point of keeping data safe in the cloud - for nothing. None of the solutions in diverse online forums worked. I wrote to pwSafe customer service, and got no reply. I hope that they will see this review and will reach out to me to somehow restore my passwords. Really makes you reconsider keeping anything in the cloud with anyone but the most reliable solution providers.

I have used this app on my IPad for years and loved it. Now I have a need to access my passwords from Windows and Android. I cant. It looks like I need to shop for a Windows based password safe.

Been using & recommending for many years. No more. Upgrade lost my safe. No warning at all. Just an empty, fresh screen. Unbelievable ?
