Password Safe Desktop Client

See why customers choose Pleasant Password Server with a KeePass client

Password Safe can access passwords from Pleasant Password Server on Windows desktop.

Use the Pleasant Password Safe client app to set up passwords and groups of passwords for the whole company. 

  • Organize your passwords for departments, teams, and roles in Pleasant Password Server, to view passwords in the Password Safe app.
  • Objective being to streamline your team's access of passwords using groups or roles.

This is a customized version of Password Safe and does not support all Password Safe features. However, it also supports some enterprise features provided by Pleasant Password Server. This Password Safe version differs in the following features from original Password Safe app.

  • Combination + Login Credentials: Instead of just a Password Safe combination, you need your Password Server login credentials i.e. username and password along with server name. The default Port number used is 10001. To change the Password Server Port then follow these instructions.

  • Autotype: this features is supported but not for individual entries. Default autotype can still be set using Options menu but it will be applicable to all entries. Email is also not applicable to entries.

  • Root Group: All passwords are under a root group in this version of Password Safe and this group cannot be deleted. This is done to bring Password Safe in line with the Pleasant Password Server.

  • Requiring Comments: This version also supports a feature where a user is prompted to enter a comment before performing certain actions. To achieve this, an administrator can configure comment requirements for different user actions on entries or groups in Pleasant Password Server and then when user uses Password Safe a comment dialog box will be presented whenever the configured action is triggered (e.g. "View Password" comment requirement would prompt user to enter a comment before performing any action which provides user the access to password of an entry).

  • Access Controls: User Access can be limited from performing certain actions e.g. deleting certain entries. This can be configured by administrator using Web Client for Pleasant Password Server. (See Access Model for more information)

  • Password Display List: passwords are not displayed on the main screen: in the tree view or list view. Password Server has separate permissions for viewing an Entry and its Password.
