What is a BPW file?
Encrypted password list created with Bitser, a Windows utility designed for creating and managing compressed archives; contains a list of usernames and passwords entered by the user.
More Information
Each BPW may contain multiple logins and is saved using AES encryption. Each login includes a "Notes" field, which can be used to specify the purpose of the login, such as "Gmail," PayPal Account," or "Router." The list of logins can be viewed by clicking the "Passwords" tab, which opens the Password Manager.
NOTE: Login information can only be viewed after entering the Master Password for the BPW file.

A BPW file may also be a world file used by geographic information system (GIS) applications to store georeferencing information for a corresponding .BMP raster image. It maps the image to real-world coordinates by defining parameters such as pixel size, rotation, and location. GIS software reads the BPW file together with the BMP image so it can display the image in the correct geographic position.
More Information
BPW files are typically stored in the same folder as their corresponding BMP images and use the same filename, differing only by their extension. They provide the spatial information needed to align the image with maps and other geographic datasets, making them useful in cartography, surveying, environmental studies, engineering, and other GIS applications.
Although BMP images are used less often than some other raster formats in modern GIS workflows, many GIS programs still support BPW files. Users typically create BPW files when exporting or saving georeferenced BMP images, allowing them to share the images while preserving their geographic location.
How to open a BPW file
