KeePass – Portable Open Source Password Manager

Keeping a secure password is vital to protect your identity and privacy. A secure password usually includes a combination of various numbers, alphabets and special characters. Remembering them can be quite tricky.

We’ve reviewed Sxipper, a Firefox plugin that saved the user’s information including passwords and usernames which could later be used to login using a single click. For Windows however, we have a portable open source password manager called KeePass.

KeePass is a free portable utility to manage all your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords into one secure database and give it a master password. Or if you find it convenient to use a key file, you can choose a key file only you know of to unlock the database.

KeePass uses the AES and Twofish encryption algorithms for security. As an added security precaution, KeePass automatically clears the clipboard in ten seconds after you have used it to copy a password.

KeePass can be installed either on Windows or on a flash drive.

Since it is an open source software, you have access to the full source code.
