Minor Quibbles

Sync Interval

PasswdSafe Sync synchronizes at an interval whenever it has a connection. If you make a change on one device, you will need to manually sync other devices to access the changes immediately.

To do so, open the PasswdSafe app, tap on the cloud service at the bottom of the screen to show files on that service, and press the refresh button at the top of the screen to synchronize immediately.
