I've been using CiphSafe for many years - probably since it was first released and have depended on it as reliable, troublefree and secure. I'm now extremely concerned about the future of the Application. It appears that the author, Bryan Blackburn, and his Web site <http://www.withay.com> have vanished! Apple will be releasing a new OS either later this year or early next year. I'm fearful that if one forgets to manually copy their data from CiphSafe before they upgrade they (me) will loose all the passwords and other data that has been saved over the years.
Does anyone have a suitable replacement program that is still being maintained and will remain viable for the foreseeable future?

I am also concerned - the_last_unicorn
I'm also concerned, and after reading this board, I think I shall begin the process of moving all of my CiphSafe entries to a new app this coming week. Does this developer have any plans to make CiphSafe universal? Seeing as the website is no longer up, I have many doubts....Saturday, May 20 2006 @ 02:01 PM PDT
I noticed this, too - Xeater
CiphSafe looks dead in the water. As for alternatives, I've been searching and found a couple worth further testing: Password Retriever, my favorite so far; Pastor, a bit limited but free; Steel has got promise, but there's a few GUI oversights that make it hard to use.Reply to This
