KeePass Password Safe Portable securely stores all of your account log-ins, so you don't have to worry about forgetting them. Because just about every website requires you to create an account, it's almost impossible to remember all of your log-ins. But since you don't want to write them all down where anyone could find them, it's important to have software like this to help you keep them accessible but private.

Pros

Portability: What makes KeePass Password Safe Portable stand out is portability. This means you can enter all of your account information once, and then take it with you wherever you go on a USB stick or other external device. And because you create a Master Password for the app, your information won't be accessible to anyone else, even if you lose your USB.

Password Generator: In addition to storing your passwords, this app can also help you create new ones that are more secure than those you'd come up with on your own. The Password Generator tool will create individual or lists of passwords that conform to whatever specifications you choose. You can decide which types of characters will be included in the passwords and how long they will be, and the app does the rest.

Cons

No auto-fill: This program doesn't have the ability to auto-fill website log-in forms. Instead, you have to either copy and paste information from the app to the forms, or drag and drop it in.

Bottom Line

KeePass Password Safe is a good tool for storing and retrieving your log-in information for even your most sensitive accounts. It only requires you to remember your Master Password to access it, and the Password Generator will help ensure your individual passwords are more secure than ever.

It's OK but I stopped using it
howardfernsDecember 2, 2016
Pros
Nicely displays user names, passords (which can be hidden), urls and any notes in rows. Lines are alternately white and light grey. Easy to add or edit data. Move entries by dragging. Portable so you can take it with you or put it all in the cloud for use between computers.
Cons
It displays the user names and passwords but you can't quickly copy one, like if you want to copy and paste a long and complex password for example. No, you have to double-click the entry for it to open in another window before you can copy anything. What is more annoying is that on one computer the portable app opens ok on the login screen, but when I use it later on a 2nd computer it won't do this, it makes you first hunt around to find where your database file is and double-click on that before the login screen will open.
Summary
The portable manager I have now is less fiddly to use. Unlike KeePass it opens on the login screen first time and every time on whatever computer computer I am on, and I can copy user names and passwords straight away..
Cnet Review is Wrong: Keepass Does Autofill
Frogg11December 17, 2014
Pros
Keepass does auto-type in browsers and any other program window and does it extremely well. You can even define which key sequence invokes auto-type. No forced reliance on the cloud. I tried Lastpass but went back to Keepass as it is more versatile.
Cons
None. I am shocked Cnet have produced such a poorly researched, misleading review.
Summary
Keepass is the best password manager by a huge margin.
great program. makes life more secure and simple.
thefranks5October 19, 2014
Pros
easy to use. generates passwords you can prescribe the dimensions of the password you like
Cons
wished it were auto-fill. but until then a great help.
Summary
 Updated on Oct 19, 2014BTW... i've used this program for about 2 years.
Excellent Program
AirBoss24KJune 3, 2013
Pros
Encryption for all your passwords that you wouldn't be able to remember otherwise because you have so many accounts to protect. Gentle learning curve.
Cons
You forget that master password and it's game over if you can't remember all your passwords and noted data on your own.
Summary
This program is an excellent choice if you're looking for a place to store your passwords safely. As a side note: CNET, I used to love coming to your website because I consider it a reliable source to download free software... but you guys need to understand that we (the users of your site) want to download what we came for and not the 10 promotional offers you try to shove down our throats in the process. One of the offers was so poorly scripted that had I read it from any other source, I would have immediately assumed it was a Trojan. There has to be a more subtle way for you guys to make money than to shove that garbage in our faces when that's clearly not what we came for.
This Program Rocks!
Roger_RogerDecember 17, 2012
Pros
1. Portable. I can run the program from a jump drive. 2. My data (passwords) stays in MY hands. Nothing "on the cloud." 3. Very simple to use. 4. Autotypes. 5. Generates passwords. 6. I can use multiple databases. 7. "Notes" section for each entry allows me to denote my answers to verification questions for each site.
Cons
1. There is a bug that causes the list of entries to go blank when switching between screens. However, clicking on a category reloads the list. If not for this, I would have given 5 stars.
Summary
I finally found the password manager I intend to stick with. I love this program for all the reasons I listed in Pros. It took about 10 minutes of reading the online help to know how to use it, but once that's done, it's a breeze. Super flexible. I could not figure out how to download this program from this site without having to agree to accept garbage software from other vendors, so I went directly to the developer's site. This program rocks!
If you want safety, this is it!
zeoh417September 24, 2012
Pros
I didnt read the manual but I quickly learned how to use it!! And the auto-type function is just perfect!
Cons
I still dont get what the key file is for and how it can actually make it safer...
Summary
My Gmail account was hacked twice and the passwords are changed after I made a lot of arguments with a number of 50cent army people about the Diaoyu island issue.. I think that by using this I can better manage my security by using the password generator to create the strongest password ever for my email account.. (50 characters hahaha good bye hackers!!) Gmail doesnt care whether my email account gets hacked ..theres no way I can contact them about what happened to me.. So this software is the right thing for me!
Very good product. Simplified my security
wjg0103February 14, 2012

Cons

Developer’s Description

By Dominik Reichl

Store all passwords in highly-encrypted database locked with single master password and/or key file.

KeePass is free, open source, light-weight and easy-to-use password manager, which helps you 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 file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).A database consists of only one file that can be transferred from one computer to another easily. The program supports password groups, in which you can sort your passwords into.You can drag-n-drop passwords into almost any other window. The auto-type feature types your login information into other windows automatically (just press a hot key). Fast copying passwords or user names to the clipboard is possible by just double-clicking on the specific field in the password list.KeePass can import data from various file formats. The password list can be exported to various formats, including TXT, HTML, XML and CSV files. The password list can of course also be printed (complete database or only current view).Searching and sorting the password database is possible.KeePass ships with a strong random password generator (you can define the possible output characters, length, patterns, rules and restrictions).The program is available in over 40 languages. It has a plugin framework; plugins provide additional functionality like backup features, network features, integration with other applications, etc.; they are available from the KeePass website.
