How do you add a top level group in Password Safe?

Question

Password Safe is an application to help you track all of the passwords you use at various sites. It's good, but there's one thing which I really struggle with. I want to add a top level group within Password Safe, like "Work", so that I can place within that the sites I log into for work, the passwords I use there, etc. Only thing is that, as far as I can determine, the only thing Password Safe allows me to do is select an existing group. And if I do and then issue the Add Group command, it puts that under the group I've selected. That is not what I want.

So how do I create a new group at the top level, in Password Safe?

Answer 1

Drag and drop selected group to group "Work".

Answer 2

How do I create a new group at the top level?

Right click in the empty space and click Add Group

Answer 3

Finding the 'empty' whitespace is difficult when your groups already appear to fill it. My solution is to maximise window and scroll as far as possible and click right at the very bottom, under the last entry. Right clicking anywhere else just brings up the dialogue box as it would right clicking on a group. Not ideal but is a solution, hopefully this could be fixed at some point.

Answer 4

I've only found one fool-proof solution if you have so many groups that there is no whitespace you can click. Right-click an existing top-level group and click "Duplicate Group". Rename the new duplicate to the desired name. Add at least one new entry in this new group. Then delete all the entries you don't need.

Answer 5

I am using Password Safe 3.35.01 and found the same problem. The other solutions I found (right clicking in whitespace / selecting a top level group and choosing Add Group from the Edit menu) did not work for me.

No matter what, I could not create a group at the top level, despite there already being many such groups in our team database.

In the end I simply chose Add Entry from the Edit menu, and then on the dialog I overwrote the Group name with my new Group name, and made a dummy entry. That worked.
