Overview
KeePass is a lightweight, easy to use, open source password manager. It allows you to build an encrypted database with all your passwords and protect it with a master password or a key file.
Review
I guess many of you face the same problem I’m trying to deal with: several accounts, from the Windows logon to email accounts, several usernames and passwords that you have to fill in, remember and last but not least… protect. If you’re looking for an easy and secure way to handle your passwords KeePass might be right what you need. It’s an open source program that allows you to build a database with all your passwords. The database will be encrypted using the most secure encryption algorithms around (AES and Twofish).
You can lock the database with a master password or with an encrypted key file. After you set up your “lock” you can add entries to your database, from Windows accounts to website accounts, emails or homebanking accounts.
As you can see from the screenshot below there are several features that you can explore with each entry in the database. Although the program is very easy to use it can get a bit complicated if you get into all the details.
The feature list of this open source password manager is simply unbelievable, I’m just going to list the most important ones: strong security (AES and Twofish algorithms used to encrypt the password database), it’s portable (you can put it on an USB stick and run it on any Windows system without installing), easy database transfer or export to txt, xml, html or csv files, customizable with the available plugins.
