Description
KeePass Password Safe is a free, open source, lightweight, and easy-to-use password manager for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Android mobile devices. With so many passwords to remember and the need to vary passwords to protect your valuable data, it’s nice to have KeePass to manage your passwords in a secure way. KeePass puts all your passwords in a highly encrypted database and locks them with one master key or a key file. As a result, you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. And the databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known, AES and Twofish. See our features page for details.

Finding better and better things inside KeePass each time I use it. By using DropBox or similar excellent for having password file available across multiple PC's, notebooks, Tablets and phone.

KeePass is superior. I originally was drawn to it because its open source, and since version 2.xx is written in C# (my language of choice), I decided to reviewed the code before using it to gauge if it was worthy. It uses secure strings, protected memory, and always serializes the keys xor'ed by a random byte array that can be deterministically generated given the protected stream key in the KBDX file header. Also it uses custom controls so it can ensure the sensitive memory buffer gets cleared before it becomes de-allocated and eligible for garbage collection. So rare that I see code that actually does something right without moronically undermining all its efforts somewhere along the way. Since discovering KeePass, I have contributed to the project.

I have used this on Windows, Mac and Android for several years and have been totally satisfied with it. I use Dropbox to share the database between the separate devices. As a heavy computer user and software developer, there was no good way of remembering all those passwords until I found KeePass!
