Generate a Strong Password using Mac OS X Lion’s Built-in Utility Usman June 21, 2012, 7:00am EDT You might’ve heard of the LinkedIn and last.fm security breaches that took place recently. The mkpasswd program can be used to create a /etc/passwd file. Cygwin doesn't need this file, because it reads user information from the Windows account databases, but you can add an /etc/passwd file, for instance if your machine is often disconnected from its domain controller. Jan 15, 2020 This isn't a replacement for Mac’s keychain but a secure storehouse for you to keep the information safe, one which you can access using a different, and hopefully not forgotten, password. 1Password is good, but there are many others to choose from, including LastPass, Dashlane, and mSecure.
A free, open-source, KeePass-compatible password manager for macOS.
MacPass behaves just the way a macOS app should
Tabs
Open files in individual windows or use tabs to use a single window.
Autosave
Your files will get saved constantly. Lost something and cannot recover it from an entries history? Browse versions to find what you're looking for!
Undo/Redo
MacPass supports Undo/Redo for everything you do with your data. Something went wrong and you want to revert it, just undo your changes an you're good to go!
Drag & Drop
Move or copy entries and groups inside a database or between two files. Add file attachments by dropping them onto entries. You even can add entries by dragging URLs onto the database.
Quicklook
Enable previews to leverage the QuickLook system for previews of a variety of file types to take a look at your file attachments.
But there's more…
Autotype
Autotype enables MacPass to supply authentication credentials for any text based input. From webforms to authentication dialogs in any application. With Global Autotype you even can invoke Autotype from anywhere with a system wide shortcut. For more information please refer to the documentation.
Full KDB and KDBX Support
MacPass can read and write KDB Legacy files as well as the latest KDBX Format. You can even convert KDB to KDBX and the other way around.
Custom Icons
Change the way your entries and groups look by choosing from the many icons. If you like a bit of color, let MacPass generate icons based on websites for you!
Password Generator
Generate passwords using the built-in generator. Adjust the method to comply with any restriction you might encounter.
Expiration Dates
![Mac Mac](/uploads/1/1/9/6/119610766/316080213.png)
Set a date, when passwords expire. MacPass will mark them with a special icon so you'll spot them easily. You can even search for expired ones!
Synchronization
Changes made to your database outside of MacPass can be merged. No data is lost and all files are synchronized! You even can merge arbitrary files into one single database. MacPass is able to merge even KDB files, although the format is not designed for synchronisation.
History
If enabled, your changes to entries will get stored inside the database. Just restore an old state or take a look at what changed over time.
Auto update
MacPass incorporates Sparkle to support auto updates. You're always up to date!
Plugins
Mkpasswd For Mac N
Since there's no one-size-fits-all, MacPass allows for Plugins to alter and extend its feauture set. Head over to the Plugin respository and start customizing.
Open-source
MacPass is free, open source software licensed under the GPLv3. It's build using other open source software like TransformerKit, KeePassKit, KissXML, Sparkle and a lot more. The source code is available on GitHub.
