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

    - Key transformation library: KeePass can now use Windows' CNG/BCrypt API for key transformations (about 50% faster than the KeePass built-in key transformation code; by increasing the amount of rounds by 50%, you'll get the same waiting time as in 2.07, b

    - Added support for sending keystrokes (auto-type) to windows that are using different keyboard layouts

    - Added option to remember key file paths (enabled by default)

    - Added internal editor for text files (text only and RTF formatted text; editor can edit entry attachments)

    "Good, but net must go."

    This is like shouting at the wind. NET. is here to stay and expand. It certainly will not go anywhere. Because of .NET the KeePass can now run on Linux, Mac, BSD without need for contributed/unofficial KeePass builds.

    "I honestly don't see any need for need, especially because we all know that author is an amazing coder. So why use net?"

    Okay, so you admit that the guy is a world class programmer, but you still tell him how he should code?

    What is exactly the problem that you have with .NET?

    Great program, however I agree that no option to use the 1.x database is stupid. Seriously, compared to writing the program how hard could it really be?

    So, I too am sticking with 1.14.

    I seem to be following a "tried and true" trend which includes rolling back to XP.

    @xee: KeePass 1.xx is still in development and doesn't rely on .NET! (Go to the developer's homepage to find it.)
