Password Safe and Manager: Offline Vault

Password Safe and Manager is an offline password manager by Robert Ehrhardt that stores your credentials, passkeys, and two-factor authentication codes in an encrypted vault on your device. It solves the problem of remembering dozens of passwords by letting you unlock everything with a single master password. The app uses AES-256 encryption with SQLCipher and key derivation via PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512, and it works fully offline with no servers of its own. Optional cloud sync is off by default and uses only your personal Dropbox or Google Drive. This design aims to keep your data private and under your control.

What's new

The latest update to Password Safe and Manager brings a few notable additions. You can now sync your vault using OneDrive or pCloud, in addition to the existing Dropbox and Google Drive options. A new Black Theme is also available for a more personalized look. Plus, importing your existing data from other apps has been made easier, helping you switch to this offline-first, zero-knowledge password manager with less hassle.

This app is for people who want a password manager that keeps their data on their own device and avoids cloud-based services. It suits privacy-conscious users who prefer a zero-knowledge approach and are comfortable managing their own backups. It’s also good for those who want an integrated 2FA authenticator and passkey support without needing multiple apps. The optional sync via personal cloud storage may appeal to users who already use Dropbox or Google Drive and want to control where their encrypted data goes. It’s not ideal for those who expect cloud sync to be automatic or who want a service that can recover a forgotten master password.

Choose a strong, memorable master password and consider enabling local encrypted backups regularly. If you use the optional sync, make sure your Dropbox or Google Drive account is secure and that you understand the sync is encrypted before leaving your device. Test the import feature with a small CSV file first to ensure your data comes over correctly.

Password Safe and Manager offers a solid, offline-first approach to password management with strong encryption and a focus on user privacy. It’s a practical choice for those who want control over their data, though you’ll need to manage backups and consider the Pro upgrade for advanced features.
