KeePass Password Safe is a free, open source, lightweight, and easy-to-use password manager for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, with ports for Android, iPhone/iPad and other 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.

KeePass at a Glance
You can easily download KeePass for Windows and you can port it on a USB stick for most other operating systems. The interface is as busy as it is robust. For example, KeePass supports password groups for sorting passwords. You can drag and drop passwords into most windows or use a hot key to type your login information into windows automatically. You can also quick copy user names and passwords to the clipboard with a double-click on a field in the password list. And KeePass can import data from a variety of formats like CSV, while the password list can be exported to formats such as TXT, HTML, XML, and CSV.Product Details

A great App. I am still using the 1.x version. It meets my needs and I have yet to find a compelling reason to switch to the 2.x version. I use it on three PCs and I use an Android adaption on my phone. It is easy to use and has helped me remember all those unique passwords for obscure websites that require a login to use them. Thank you for creating and maintaining this wonderful app. My only complaint has nothing to do with the App itself but with an extension to it for backing up the database. It quit working a while ago and stated telling me that the handle for the backup file is invalid, apparently, according to the developer, it is an obscure system problem that I have not had the desire to track down.

Great product! Developers please note, v2.47 just released has an error. When launching, I get 'Configuration error' window with a link to to file. 'Failed to load the specified file! ".", hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1 (ok button to dismiss). Keepass will maybe overwrite the configuration file. Therefore a backup has been created (with a hyperlink to file included). The program still opens, and changes seem to be saved. When closing the program you get this window: Configuration error! (link to program file) Failed to save to the specified file! Access is denied (ok button to dismiss) Any way you could fix this with an update? Thank you!
