KeePass Password Safe is a free/open-source password safe or manager which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. So you only have to remember one single master password or insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).

  • Latest Changes

    - Added option to use file transactions when writing databases (enabled by default; writing to a temporary file and replacing the actual file afterwards avoids data loss when KeePass is prevented from saving the database completely)

    - Added high DPI support

    - The Ctrl+E shortcut key now jumps to the quick search box

    - In the main entry list, backup entries are now rendered with green text color

    - Menus are now rendered with gradient item backgrounds

    - Added support for detecting KeePass 2.08 and higher KDBX database files

    Still brilliant. Better than version 2 as this one is portable whereas version 2 requires the .NET framework. This together with Trucrypt and Antivir is all that's really required for most of my security needs.

    A top piece of software, deeply impressive. Easy to use, very secure, a comprehensive range of security features, portable too...

    So yep, a real winner. Means you can use very strong passwords (which the app can generate for you ) without having to remember them all.

    Works ok, though I prefer fsekrit. Mostly I'm just surprised that the author didn't realize that "Keep Ass" might not be the best name to use.

    Couple of reasons why the db size grows.
    1. You store attachments with entries.
    2. You must not have cleared the backup folder.

    1. Please buy a USB drive to store your backups. Storing on GOOGLE is not a safe place. Your privacy is not guaranteed.

    2. Empty the backup category in Keepass.
