Any Password, from RomanLab Software, uses APW files to store the password data managed by the application. The file contains the passwords and IDs saved in an Any Password password cache.
APW is an application-specific, encrypted format rather than a general-purpose document format. The data is intended to be accessed through Any Password on Microsoft Windows, where the file forms part of the program's password-management data.
Open the file with Any Password on Microsoft Windows to access the saved password-cache entries.
Other programs generally cannot interpret an APW file because it uses Any Password's application-specific encrypted format.
APW files do not have a standard conversion format, so general-purpose file converters cannot normally convert them. A conversion of this file type is highly unlikely.
To move the stored data, open the file in Any Password and use an export or copy feature if the installed version provides one. Otherwise, the entries must be transferred manually.

Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
Adobe Authorware was an authoring application originally developed by Macromedia and later maintained by Adobe. It was used to create interactive multimedia and e-learning applications for Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X.
The apw file is a distribution package for an Authorware project. It can contain the project content and resources required by the packaged application, rather than serving as the editable source project.
Adobe Authorware and the APW format are obsolete, so compatible software may not be available on current operating systems.
On Microsoft Windows, try opening the apw file with the version of Adobe Authorware that created it. Packaged files are generally intended for playback or distribution, so they may not provide the same editing access as the original Authorware project.
Because Adobe Authorware is obsolete, the file may require an older compatible Windows environment.
The apw file is a distributed Authorware application rather than an editable source project, so it may not be suitable for direct conversion.
If the original Authorware project is available, open it in a compatible version of Adobe Authorware and use that application's publishing or export options to create a different output.
