I'm a proud *paid* owner of PassWord Master. And as previous reviews have noted, this app is tired and old. It hasn't been updated in two years. So, basically, you're using a password application without any sort of ongoing development. That means the developer hasn't fixed some glaring bugs, nor added any key features that would make this an even better app.
For me, that means I have almost 200 passwords and about 30 serial #s stored in this app with no where to go--but to start over again with another app.
But, guess what? You can't get the data out of PassWord Master in any elegant fashion (Tab-delimited file, perhaps? No.) So, if you want to go to another password/serial # storage utitlity, you're forced with *manually* copying all of your data over to the new app. That would take me about a week of work, I'm guessing.
If anyone made a password and serial # storage utility for OS X, that was robust and stable (and was interested in continuing their development over time), I'd dump PassWord Master in an instant. In the meanwhile, this is the best out there.
I'm not pissed at the developer, because they could have stopped development for a whole host of reasons. I'm just bummed because I jumped on board a utility that now verges on the antiquated.
Please, someone make a password/serial # storage utility that works seamlessly with OS X and is at least as good as this! I would buy it in an instant. And if you could help me get my data out of this app, I would pay you double!

Enjoyed it, Bought it...still waiting to register it - iscale
I also paid via PayPal and have not heard anything from the RAILhead. Not a thing. I decided to buy, because, as 'marmaladewanker,' noted, it's just the best there is right now. In fact, I appreciate how it's put together, and i like it's features -- probably because I previously was just placing my passwords in a TextEdit document (gah!).'godfrey1' mentions the bullets for passwords, but that's actually just a preference that can be set in order to hide passwords. I like this program, but I just wish Maury would send registration info or at least respond in any capacity to my email. For now, I'll continue to hope that Maury's not in any life-threatening condition.
