What it does
Password Safe stores account passwords in a database protected by a master password, with current desktop builds documented in its official repository.
Password Safe keeps the everyday operation direct: open the database with the master password, choose an entry and copy the value needed for a login. Its README describes a Windows installer and a ZIP package that can be extracted to a chosen directory. That makes the database and its backup the important objects to manage. Retain a recoverable copy before changing a large collection. The repository distinguishes current desktop support from historical Windows versions, so use the current platform instructions rather than an old package simply because it is still downloadable.
