Hi,

The latest version of PasswordSafe, 2.04, has a new feature, "lock on
workstation lock", that causes problems with unsaved data changes in the
database.

Specifically, if you change (modify, add or delete entries) the
database, and the program "locks" before you saved your changes, the
changes will be lost. In the worst case, if you save without unlocking
the database, the *entire* database will be lost.

Until we fix this (in the next release), the workaround is simple:

If you use the "lock database on workstation lock" (enabled by default),
then enable Manage->Options->Misc->Save database immediately after Edit
or Add.

Thanks to the users who've reported this.

	Cheers,

		Rony
