While it's sad that SplashID hasn't fixed the issue with 8.2.3 and re-released it in the several months since the problem was discovered, it's even worse that MacUpdate is still caching the recalled version. Anyone needing to get back to the stable 8.2.0 version can easily get it from main page of the SplashID site.

I updated today to Mac desktop version 8.2.3.970. It fails to launch on my Mac. Ho can I downgrade to the previous version.

This Mac desktop version 8.2.3.970, posted today, was withdrawn by Splash ID a month ago, My own experience today confirms that was a good idea. It immediately crashed or failed to work on my Mac. The previous versions works fine.

Cannot fault this app and matching iOS app now after some initial issues a couple or so years back. Rock solid cloud syncing.

Previous syncing issue with version 8.0.3 has now been resolved with the latest release to 8.0.4. (hello Macupdate! You need to update your site to latest version). Had some issues with iOS version synching but their customer support has been exemplary. Cannot fault and SplashID Safe is a worthy contender for those seeking a password manager.

This relates to latest version v8.03 - there is an issue with the mac desktop app wanting to continually sync with the cloud. Splash Data are aware of this and recommend uninstalling 8.0.3 and downgrading to version 8.0.2. Contact Splash Data for specific instructions on doing this as there are some folders and pref files involved in this process. Don't update until they release a fix for 8.0.3.

I have just checked Splash Data's website and noted they have moved to an annual $19.99 subscription fee model (cloud sync). Time to switch to another solution.

Moved to 7.2.2 after Mavericks on my new Air and now crashes continuously when I quit the app. After sandbox issue and plan for wifi or cloud sync I had many troubles with splashID. I am very unsatified of it and thinking to move to another app.

Unfortunately this will be one app that is destined to be replaced since the developer is trying a bit too hard to have users to place potentially sensitive information on a server (cloud) which is currently, in my view, unnecessary and security wise: out of question, I understand we still have the option of not signing up to the cloud services but this option seems to be fading out as per release of the current version.

Previous versions of this software were adequate, which I used for years on both Mac and iOS. Suddenly, with the release of the latest version, the iOS app started uploading my password database to their servers without permission and required me to register my email address with their cloud just to ACCESS MY PASSWORDS, even on the iOS device. It will not sync with my desktop version on Wi-Fi without CHARGING A FEE and demands I sync over the cloud! Forcing users, without notice and express permission, to upload extremely sensitive data to Splashdata's servers is a gross invasion of privacy and charging users to opt out is tantamount to extortion. Splashdata did not reply to requests to erase my data or clarify what information had been uploaded to their servers. Especially after the Snowden revelations, this behaviour is extremely shocking. I've had to revise all my passwords and erase this app completely. Splashdata has lost my trust completely. Avoid them at all costs.
