A Step Above Open Source

I started using Password Safe with the open source GUI. This application is a step up from the free version for several reasons:

* Easy to install on any of my Macs - the open source version is a crap shoot as to whether it will work
* Nice search feature to easily find one of my hundreds of password entries
* One window - the open source version pops up separate dialogs which makes it clunkier

It would be nice if the notes as not hidden. I keep having to click on a button to unhide them and then the password is also displayed. Sometimes I need those notes while someone is behind me and I do NOT want them to see my password. That’s my only real complaint.

One serious problem I ran into though: it is tied to iTunes. Today I couldn’t open the app without logging into iTunes first but my iTunes password was in Password Safe - catch 22! I had to open the password file in Windows to get into it on my Mac. Very annoying!
