    "A More Secure Life"

    July 21, 2011  |   By Xyberion1K3

    Version: KeePass Password Safe Professional 2.16

    Pros

    Secure, Free, Password-Protected, Program Updated Every Few Months, Can Generate Great Passwords

    Cons

    None At All

    Summary

    I used to keep my passwords in an Excel spreadsheet, with a password. Even though there was a password it was not as secure as it could be. I tried KeePass Password Safe. I use it every day. I use LastPass to log into my web browser, but I do not want all of my rarely used passwords in LastPass. I keep all of my Passwords in KeePass though. I put my initial review for KeePass v 1.20, not this free professional version. This is a great program.

    "Password Generator and Safe"

    June 10, 2011  |   By URL98902

    Version: KeePass Password Safe Professional 2.15

    Pros

    Free
    Generates passwords of the length and strength desired
    Maintains passwords in password-protected file
    Allows for expiration of passwords and warns of approaching dates.
    Remembers user names and sites.

    Cons

    None of which I am aware.

    Summary

    I sought this program when an auditor complained that I was not changing passwords often enough. I wanted strong password protection, but did not want to remember 12Ac~~%ff$_... for one of the many sites I visited and a similar password for others. This lets me create an extremely strong unique password for each need without requiring that I remember it.

    It also lets me store PINs and similar material.

    "Simplest way to keep your passwords"

    May 24, 2011  |   By dunlapb

    Version: KeePass Password Safe Professional 2.15

    Pros

    1. Portable
    2. Simple to use
    3. Password expiration option

    Over all I liked this product. Since I have a lot of different passwords I have to remember, I found this tool a great asset when it comes to securely getting to those passwords.

    Cons

    1. Does not intutively use the auto-paste with any other application than mstsc.exe.
    2. Can you use the program in full screen mode with two monitors. Must use windows mode for all applications.

    Summary

    This is a great product for anyone that has a lot of passwords to remember. The program itself requires you to have a password to log into it, so the only password you have to remember is that one. All your other passwords are secure and hidden even when you open up the line item. Keeps passwords safe if others are looking.

    The auto password generator is another great feature. Tired of remembering all the passwords with specuial characters, upper case, etc. This solves that for you. It can create 40, 128 and 256 Hex Key's for longer and more intricate passwords. No need to remember the password though. Once it is saved all you have to do is a simple CTRL+V and you are in.

    "Free, easy, strong password generator and keeper"

    May 15, 2011  |   By pnaccari

    Version: KeePass Password Safe Professional 2.15

    Pros

    Has a great customizable password generator, and helps prevent you from using a single password for all your accounts.

    Cons

    Having a 25 digit randomized password of unrelated numbers, letters and characters means you probably won't be able to check your email on your friend's computer.

    "Seems pretty good so far!"

    May 12, 2011  |   By KIKI556

    Version: KeePass Password Safe Professional 2.15

    Pros

    Very simple to add, delete and arrange things. There is a space for notes which is really hay also.

    Cons

    I can't seem to export the data to a text file, but I'm supposing that's just me. I would prefer that the passwords created were locked somehow, because it's pretty easy to accidentally delete part of them.

    Summary

    If you have a few ebay accounts, you will understand why you need this! Every account needs a separate email account and things become very confusing. It's really for anyone who buys or subscribes to things online... all the different sites... the different passwords, usernames etc. This is an excellent way to keep everything in order.

    "IMO the best of the password vaults."

    March 10, 2011  |   By eliotg2003

    Version: KeePass Password Safe Professional 2.14

    Pros

    Been using KeePass for a few years now. I use different long and random character pw's for everything I need a pw for and I only have to remember one master pw. It syncs to my BlackBerry so I always have my pw's. And best of all, it's free!!

    Cons

    None that I can think of.
