FAQ
Q: Can I use my existing Password Safe database files on PasswdSafe?
A: Yes. PasswdSafe reads and writes the same .pwsafe file format used by the desktop version. Just copy your database to the device (via USB, email, or a cloud service) and open it in the app; all entries, groups, and notes will appear exactly as they do on your computer.
Q: How does cloud synchronization work with PasswdSafe?
A: PasswdSafe itself does not sync directly; instead, it works together with the companion app PasswdSafe Sync. PasswdSafe Sync connects to popular cloud storage providers (such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Nextcloud) and keeps a remote copy of your vault file up to date. Whenever you save changes in PasswdSafe, Sync uploads the updated file, and any changes made on another device are downloaded back to keep everything consistent.
Q: Which cloud storage services are supported by PasswdSafe Sync?
A: PasswdSafe Sync currently supports Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, and any WebDAV‑compatible service (including Nextcloud and ownCloud). Adding a new provider is as simple as entering your login credentials within the Sync app and selecting the folder where your vault should reside.
