## Edit Menu

Entry |  | Alias |  | Group

Through the Edit Menu you can add, edit, use and organize user names and passwords. Note that the contents of this menu change according to what's selected in the main view (e.g., if you've selected an entry or a group). Also, some items may be disabled, as noted below.

### Add Entry

Add a new user name and password. This is disabled if the database is opened read-only.
See User Names, Passwords, and Groups for more information.

### Edit Entry / Expand/Collapse Group

When an entry is selected, Edit the selected user name and password. When a Group is selected (in Tree view), this will expand or collapse the display of entries under the selected group. Editing an entry is disabled if the database is opened read-only.
See User Names, Passwords, and Groups for more information.

### Delete Entry / Delete Group

When an entry is selected, this will delete it. When a Group is selected (in Tree view), this will delete all entries under the selected group. Confirmation is requested if there is more than one entry in the selected group. This is disabled if the database is opened read-only.

### Rename Entry / Rename Group

Rename the selected entry (or group, in Tree view). This is disabled if the database is opened read-only.

### Clear Clipboard

Clear the clipboard's memory. This clears the clipboard of anything that was pasted there by Password Safe (password, username, notes, etc.). If the current contents of the clipboard did not come from Password Safe, then this will have no effect.

### Copy Password to Clipboard

Copy the current selection's password to the clipboard.

### Display subset of Password

This action displays a window that allows you to specify which characters of a password to display. This is useful for sites that ask for parts of a password to login. For example, a password might be "qAdm3ddENc", and you might be asked to enter the first, third, fifth and eighth letters. This window allows you to do this in a convenient manner: In the upper field you enter the positions of the password characters you want for the subset of the password. You can use spaces, commas or semi-colons to separate the positions. The corresponding characters of the password are shown in the lower field. To quit, please use the Esc key.

### Create Shortcut

This is useful if you have an entry that "belongs" under more than one group, but you don't wish to duplicate data. A shortcut has a distinct icon associated with it, , and by default has the name "shortcut to x", where x is the title of the original entry. Of course, you can edit the name, move or delete the shortcut, just like a regular entry.
