Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This free utility stores all your passwords in one database encrypted with the AES or Twofish algorithm. KeePass allows you to use strong, hack-proof passwords without hindering your PC's performance. For this purpose, the program provides a built-in password generator. The application boasts a number of features that help enforce protection of your data. For example, it can automatically lock a minimized database, empty the clipboard from time to time, and set an expiration date for each password. We found KeePass quite handy, as it lets you arrange your passwords into any number of groups and subgroups. Besides a login and a password, each entry may contain notes, attached files, and associated URLs. Unfortunately, KeePass can't automatically fill in Web forms, and the help file is inadequate. Also, since KeePass doesn't let you add or modify database fields, it will only work for storing passwords. Nevertheless, it does that job exceedingly well.Publisher's description
From Dominik Reichl :KeePass is a free password 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. Databases are encrypted using very secure encryption algorithms (AES and Twofish).
Version 1.16: Added option to 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 1.15, but the protection against dictionary and guessing attacks is raised by a factor of 1.5; option enabled by default; only Windows Vista and higher).
