KeePass Reviews

I love that their are multiple ways to log into your keypass and when the program starts the way you use is not preselected lol. Also the high level security passwords this program can generate is unreal. I love that it has a portable version so that you may only keep your passwords located on a flash drive. Just be sure to keep at least one backup stored in a safe place. Plus it not being an online password generator means it is less likely to use a password a automated password cracker would use.

nothing really it is what it is and it does it in the most perfect way.

Tired of wondering if you have a secure password? Tired of having to remember passwords? tired of trusting your browser to remember your passwords leaving them vulnerable to various phishing attacks and more? KeePass s amazing it is portable it is what you need to stay safe secure and protected.

keeping all of my accounts safe and secure with high level protection that I have full control of storing offline.

En el mundo actual en que vivimos en el cual cada día nos registramos en un sitio o en otro y en cada sitio metemos una contraseña,cada día se hace más importante un programa de este tipo, un contenedor de contraseñas de manera organizada. Es un programa muy sencillo pero a la vez muy útil. Tengo que decir que el programa tiene muchas más cosas que no uso, me he ceñido a usar lo básico para mi día a día.

He notado ciertas dificultades al pasar la base de datos de Windows a Android, al menos no parece que sea de manera fácil y automática. El autorellenado es complejo de utilizar.

Os recomiendo usar este programa para el almacenaje de passwords ya que cada vez es más complicado acordarse de todas con tantas cosas.

En mi trabajo uso constantemente este programa ya que mucho dispositivos a los que nos conectamos tienen una contraseña propia y no se accede con nuestro usuario de radius. Esto supone acordarme no solo de la password si no también del usuario por lo que es tarea complicada. Así que me he creado una base de datos con todo a lo que accedo, tu accedes a la base de datos con una única password y ahí puedes buscar justo la que necesitas. La base de datos la puedes portar a otro ordenador sin problemas. El programa dispone de muchísimas opciones más que iré investigando, pero de momento os recomiendo su uso.

Keepass is a really good tool for password management.

I use it both for personal and work related accounts management and its really straightforward.

Password generator included in Keepass allows users to generate strong passwords really fast.

The application shortkeys allow users to automatically enter the credentials to acess a site with the only effort of pressing two keys.

You can export and import the application database into an encrypted file to transport and use it wherever you might need.

The accounts grouping functionality is good to properly order the different accounts by project or theme.

The look and feel of the desktop application is quite old fashioned, but usable.

Keepass app for Android devices is quite complex to use and not too much intuitive.

Keepass is a good tool for credentials management when you have a lot of user accounts scattered on many systems and web pages.

When you have a lot o user accounts for different websites and application Keepass helps you to manage them easily and securely without too much effort.

It is free, open source and lightweight software. It's nice to have KeePass to manage my passwords in a highly secure way in which nobody except me will be able to access my data. We have to remember only one master password through which we will be able to retreive all other passwords if it is correct.

The UI is very old. It needs to be updated. Other than this, everything is fine.

I will recommend surely. It's free

As the databases created by KeePass are encrypted using most secure encryption algorithms - AES and Twofish, we can trust it for using the company's credentials. It's so that we dont have to remember each of the internal passwords like FTP, SSH, Login password, web password, etc. As sometimes we used randomly used passwords, it becomes very hard to remember those complex passwords.

Ability to select the best encryption available

Random Password Generator

Ability to input user and passwords automatically into websites

Its not easy to use for a new comer. You have to play around with the software to find out about how it is unlike lastpass which is easy but is cloud based. I like keepass better because it is stored locally

As compared to other solutions like Lastpass and Dasline which are easy, Keepass is a bit complex. It might be difficult to navigate at first but once you get used to it it is a great software. Its also free. Its is very secure if you use best practices to secure your password database e.g using the inbuilt algorithms to generate passwords. Personally I feel better that I have taken the best available option to secure my passwords. Thats all you can ever do.

I am using it to store my passwords for business accounts. I use it personally at home as well

I like that there is a method of storing the database on my own pc/dropbox account rather than on someone's cloud service. I'd rather have the peace of mind knowing how I'm securing it rather than some other company. The software is easy to use, simple and of course free. I'm achieving greater security by having this application installed on my pc and phone by allowing it to come up with lengthy passwords instead of things I need to remember.

Thus far, I can't say that I don't like anything about it. It does what it should and doesn't pretend to do other things it doesn't need too.

If you are looking for something simple that just does what a password manager should, then this is the product for you. It's not pretending to be something that it isn't and by doing that, they are providing a product that simply works and has not had issues since the day I installed it. It's nice with the categorizations it allows you to setup and different icons for different types of logins to quickly differentiate between accounts. This software definitely allows you to be more secure in the workplace and personally.

I'm able to have all of my passwords different and of great length. I have the database stored on a dropbox account so I can share the DB with the keepass app on my phone as well as my pc. Greater security is definitely being achieved with this application.

- Its encryption implementation, well-recognized by some official governments organizations

- Tools to help improve existing password and eliminate duplicates

- The long list of plugins to use Keepass on all my devices (Windows, Linux, Android...)

- The password generator tool, which has enough options to comply with many website limitations

- The learning curve in using the main software, as there's no tutorials or guides to integrate it with your browsers/devices

- The UI is a bit old, compared to non-free competitors, with a classic Windows 2000 style

- The lacking of password sharing between team members

- Plugins update is not always working great, especially browsers ones, that may need some manual copy-pasting of files to work.

The setup may seem burdensome at first, but it is way more reassuring having its credentials in the company server than hosted by a third party, even if it is encrypted.

A first step can be to use Dropbox integration first, to learn how to use it.

I am saving my personal password as well as professionnal ones and can have an unique password everywhere, without having to remember it. This strenghten the security as a leak of one of website database will not impact on all my accounts, especially pro ones.

The single problem we encounter is the password sharing between people, since Keepass does not offer any options, compared to Dashlane, which allow to share some passwords with other users, for example.

Although its main intention is to be a safekeeping app for your passwords, it also serves as a tool that you can program/command to auto-type for you which makes it really efficient for logging in and also for jobs that require a lot of repetitive typing.

The way that you can program it to do those auto-typing commands is a bit difficult especially if you have no clue about coding. In our department, someone had to basically do the codes for us and send it to everyone. Once you have the basic code though, you will find it easy to program it to the way that you want it to perform.

Have a little background of coding before using it. Or have a basic tutorial so you can fully use its functions outside keeping passwords.

For businesses that has a lot of tools (which therefore means a lot of passwords too), it makes it more secure for employees to just access this tool and not have a physical unsecured copy of the list of passwords that anyone can easily obtain. Another benefit of Keepass is how it makes typing and logging in to different applications really quick. Imagine programs that auto lock you out if you’re not active on it for like 15 minutes. That means having to type in your login info each time! That’s crazy! Not to mention, you’d have to memorize or go through your list of passwords each time.

This open source application allows you to manage your internet credentials in a secure way. to improve your credentials administration, you can create groups where you can organize using topics, defining icons for this groups and making several customization such as: Expiration dates, auto typing function and plugins.

Additionally, you can generate secure password and lookup for groups and credentials.

The integration with browsers it's make by manual installations of a plugin by every browser.

It 's a great option to considerate, if you are looking for a secure password manager app, easy to use and open source.

My problem solved is simple. I don't have to remember every credentials. Every day, i have to use around 10 different internet credentials. But now, i can safe every credential set in KeePass and use it at the correct moment.

The main reason I use KeePass is that it is available across all platforms that I use: Windows, Linux, and Android, and that I can access the same database for each platform.

There are an number of websites that I go on that work better in one browser than another. I like the fact the KeePass allows you to choose between browsers.

The Android implementation can be a little hit and miss in terms of allowing me to "jump off" to a particular set of credentials.

KeePass, for me is the go to password management software. I had trialled LastPass before but did not like the idea of storing my credentials in the cloud.

As part of my role I have access to 57 different accounts. KeePass not only allows me to manage the credentials for these, but also allows me to autogenerate passwords, thus avoiding the temptation of re-using the same password

It's very easy to use, especially the auto type feature.

Moreover it allows you to work in a more secure way, by choosing 30-character random passwords and saving them in keepass.

This will make sure that it's impossible for others to either guess or remember your password.

It's also easy to change passwords more often for security reasons because there is no need to remember them.

There is not really something I dislike.

The only downside is that it's not possible to use keepass on a new device without having access to the keepass file. (but obviously more secure this way)

Before using it for business ends, try using it for personal passwords first.

This will allow you to experience how users will have to work with the software as well as how you work with Keepass as an admin.

We have multiple people working within multiple software application, both our own as well as third party applications.

Each users has it's own username and password that needs to change frequently.

We create random 30-character passwords for everyone that change each month. Users don't have to remember or manage the passwords themselves. Everything is managed through keepass.

Works well on both my PC and my Android device. Has two-forms authentication, fingerprint recognition (on phone) and built-in Dropbox and Google Drive support (via plugin).

Some parts of the UI are a bit kludgy such as the password generator. I've yet to find dependable web browser integration.

Other software and services exist, but this one is totally free and well supported.

Having a well secured and centralized database of my passwords allows me to use more secure, random passwords everywhere. This increases the security of every password because I no longer feel the need to repeat the use of passwords across applications/sites, nor to utilize schemes to ensure that my passwords are easy for me to remember.

I work on a distributed team of around twenty folks and we rely heavily on KeePass to store credentials of all kinds. KeePass lets us store credentials for websites, databases, servers, licensing and notes to go along with it all. With the ability to sync with either a URL or a file, keeping everyone's entries synced up is a breeze. When a new person comes on to the team, it's easy to bring them up to speed on all our logins: install KeePass, load up the database file, and they are good to go. You can customize the keystrokes for copying the username and the password to the clipboard. You can store the database anywhere; shared drive, locally, SharePoint, etc.

Not much to dislike really. Only complaint might be the interface, which can seem a little outdated, but hey, this is free software. Don't care for the password generator, I use xkpasswd.net for that.

It's free software, so just give it a try. Take advantage of the ability to create folders and subfolder to organize credentials.

We are sharing hundreds of sets of credentials over a distributed team of people. KeePass makes this simple. If someone is looking for a set of creds and you know it's in KeePass, the first thing you ask them is "When was the last time you sync'd KeePass? They usually haven't synced in a while, and all they need to do is sync and 3 minutes later they have what they need.

Military grade encryption in an open source password manager that has native implementations on Windows, Linux, Android, iPhone, Apple, etc and integrates with Dropbox for always synchronized data.

Takes a little setup to integrate it with Dropbox on Windows.

Becomes indispensable quickly. Make sure you integrate with Dropbox or Google Drive for automatic sync

This is the central repository for all the passwords and logins. The fingerprint integration on Android makes it a snap to open, and its own keyboard implementation allows me to just press "User" and "Password" to fill in fields in any Android app. A real timesaver that enables me to have unique and very secure random passwords on all the different apps without the penalty of wasting lots of time to enter the credentials.

KeePass secures its Database with a Master Password and a key file. There is no way to access the Database without both. So it's best practice to save the key file somewhere else, than the database. An usb stick, which you always carry with you, for example.

KeePass comes with an own password generator, which allows several options (like uppercase, digits, specials, etc.). This way, you can generate a bullet proof password.

When entering your account details, just use ctrl+b to copy the login name and ctrl+c to copy the password. KeePass automatically clears the cache after several seconds. So you wont accidentally paste your password in the wrong place.

Actually there is not much to dislike. KeyPass covers all my needs, while keeping itself clean and fast.

Keep your keyfile somewhere else, than your database.

KeePass functions as my hub to all those Login Datas someone accumulateds these days. For every Website, every Shop, even most of the software used, you need an own password. You can use some rules for the creation of your passwords, but as soon, as someone learns these rules, you got a problem. KeePass solves those problems completely. You just need to remember your MasterPassword and keep your keyfile save. This way, it's possible to use unique passwords for every account.

Local desktop software that does not sit on the cloud.

Ability to have the software create a password for you.

Designed with a strong security mindset.

Numerous options around setting up automated password generation

Open Source.

Small, Can be installed on your computer or even on a thumb drive.

Vibrant 3rd party community with add-ons

Ability to sync your password DB across different platforms

There isn't that much I don't like.

Install could be simpler. No Automated Updates

Some Confusion (for a newbie) around installation options and version. You have to read and think about it.

Great, free software. Highly recommended.

Face it. In IT we have to maintain numerous personal and adminstrator passwords. Too many to count.

We need to keep those passwords strong. KeePass does the trick.

The software sits on your personal computer, so it limits the attack vectors from hackers.

The feature that lets you double click a password, paste it, and then it is automatically removed from the clipboard after several seconds. Oh, and you can sort passwords into categories.

Uhm... the interface? It looks archaic but you don't use it to admire its interface, do you?

Just grab it, it does its job and doesn't try to be something else.

Password management. The benefit when you can't remember your password is obvious but even when you do remember your password, it's still faster to grab it from KeePass. Plus password sharing this way seems more secure - the password database file can be stored locally.

Multiplatform (versions exist for Windows, Linux, Mac, Android)

Can synchronize databases between devices

Can add data fields to any entry

Immensely configurable

Password generator

Password rater

Can organize entries by folder

Price (free)

Each entry has URL, and can launch a specific browser for login

Each entry has free-form text Notes field

Automatically clears clipboard after copying password after delay

Written in .NET

Can't define entry types (each one is separate)

I'm a big fan of KeePass and am using version 2.32. I would recommend KeePass 2.x for any new user. (KeePass 1.x is still offered, but I don't see any reason to use it instead of 2.x for new users.)

Some people might prefer using an online password keeper. I am not convinced that entrusting my passwords to someone else is a reasonable idea, but I make regular backups.

I am not using the KeePass features to automatically type usernames and passwords into other windows. It's possible other products do this better.

I can store my passwords securely on almost every device I use, and synchronize as needed.

KeePass allows you to carry it on a USB stick since it dosent require any installation which is quite useful. It also opens the door completely to all its source code, allowing you to install it on iOS, Android and adapt it to various platforms.

If you are not tech-savy then you won't really like this application, there is no one easy click setup or installation wizard so you'll have to work on it.

It's the perfect password manager software for someone who is tech-savy and likes to have total control and customization of their password system.

Manage all your credentials in one central repository.

KeePass helps optimize my time by allowing me to just know the password to KeePass. I work for an IT company that implements HR software. I am staffed on multiple projects at the same time, so it's helpful to have KeePass such that I have a different password for each tenant, but I never have to remember the passwords. I also love the hot key functionality, which allows me to auto-fill my username and password.

There isn't much I dislike about KeePass. One thing that is difficult is needing to work from a computer that does not have KeePass installed. KeePass allows me to create complex passwords, but this also means there are times, I don't remember the password. It would be great if there was a way to store these items in the cloud so I could access it anywhere.

As I mentioned above, this product really saves me 10+ seconds every time I need to log into a different customer environment.

KeePass allows me to use different passwords for each and every account I have. The passwords can be extremely complex and all I have to remember is one password to access the database. I keep the database on a usb stick so I don't have to worry about passwords ever again. I can also keep a backup of the database in the cloud so if I forget the usb stick I can access my passwords without a problem.

To use KeePass you have to have access to your database and a good mobile solution hasn't really been implemented yet.

Every company needs a password policy and KeePass is a free solution that does the job without costing a fortune.

KeePass allows us to keep track of passwords for all sorts of vendors with all sorts of varying security requirements. It also allows one administrator to have access to and make changes to passwords without worry about keeping the company up to date since they can easliy open and get updated passwords at any time.

Me encantan todas las funcionalidades de esta aplicación, la administración de contraseñas es bastante sencilla podemos organizar las diferente entrada en una estructura similar a la de un árbol de directorios,, a cada registro podemos agregarle diversos archivos adjunto, podemos definir un tiempo de caducidad, nos permite generar una contraseña compleja, ademas tenemos un control de versiones a modo de histórico. Reconoce las entradas que son URL y permite acceder a ellas directamente haciendo doble clic. Podemos tener múltiples repositorios de contraseñas.

Aunque el diseño de la app es funciona. la interfaz de Usuario debería actualizarse he incluir iconos gráficamente mas atractivos y acorde con la tendencia moderna, otra cosa muy importante que no me gusta es que no nos da la posibilidad de colocar el fichero con las contraseñas en un almacenamiento en linea.

Actualmente lo utilizamos para gestionar las licencias que adquirimos en la empresa, también lo utilizamos para generar contraseñas complejas cuando tenemos que realizar un registro en alguna web.

I love how KeePass keeps all our passwords and login information in one place, for all of our team to access. I also like how we can generate new passwords, sync information between computers, and track password changes over time.

At times we've noticed glitches in how KeePass shows the information. We'e never lost data (thank God!) but we've noticed some occasional hiccups. And since we have several team members on Macs, it makes things difficult for our team. I'd also love a iOS app for use away from my desk.

This is great for teams looking to keep track of all their passwords and login information. If you are a single user, you might want to consider other options.

KeePass helps our team keep track of hundreds of logins for emails, websites, social media accounts, and software keys for all of our 100+ clients. Simply put, without KeePass we would be unable to operate as an agency!

Secure, easy to setup, use and maintain. Can be used across platforms with various interfaces, cloud integration is simple. It is FREE, open source software https://keepass.info/donate.html

Some of the non-Windows interfaces such as MAC and Chrome can be a bit difficult for users to seamlessly access when utilizing multi-platforms. Occasional (recoverable) database corruptions appear, mainly with cloud usage.

Make a simple in-house customized user guide. Get buy-in with key players and managers, install on ALL workstations, laptops, etc. Train users from the start to use and it will become the defacto standard.

Shared passwords, password security, reliable management. No more questionable long password issues. Becuase of the autogeneration of passwords, long strong passwords are a snap to choose and use.

I like it's simplicity. KeePass actually do what it should do. It supports groups, subgroups, provide good password generator and other small but nice tools for you. Nothing special but what you need. You can organise all your passwords as you want and be happy.

With all this simplicity - GUI isn't fancy at all. It looks like application from 90th. I guess that graphic elements was just ported from Windows version to Mac and looks ugly. Another usability issue - copy paste of information from KeePassX (Mac version). It actually supports copy of username and pasting. But sometimes it just do not copy it. It's embarrassing. You continue to copy-paste several times and finally when you tired and mad, you click with mouse in menu for copy and then paste. So, I believe all these issues can be fixed with new version which released but at the same time I found that developers eliminated a lot of small features in new version which were helpful.

Try it and use if you like it. A lot of new password management tools try to upload all your information to the cloud and it's up to you. You can sync KeePass vaults via cloud but keep vaults itself encrypted with your passwords.

I was using it for keeping passwords from third-party services. One of clients had a lot of external services using and we spread several encrypted files between team members. With every password update - new files were distributed. To keep things organised and secure: several files were created with different access level. So, that was very handy and easy to keep all encrypted vaults shared with project team and distribute only passwords for particular vaults depending on role and access level.

It provides an intuitive view of your secrets: it organizes passwords by folders inside the encrypted file. It also has a great password generator and has automatic username and password typing! I like being able to have *it* type the username and password so I never have my password on my clipboard. It can even track the expected expiration date for passwords with a forced rotation period and tell you when it's expiring.

Its automatic update notices are annoying. It begs you open the downloads page on the Keepass site whenever there's a new version, but it doesn't say why I'd want the update (what kind of update it is) and won't bring you to the download page of the specific product you're upgrading.

Just try it: it's free! Your data stays right where you saved it and it's easy to use.

I use it to manage the logins for the many external websites I have to use at work, such as secure email portals. It's better than having your browser remember passwords because it's easy to back up the single file to a network drive.

Everything except the GUI. I love open source software. I didn't really start getting serious into keeping my passwords secure until I got into the cryptocurrency realm. That's when I realized I needed a unique password for any financial or personal account I cared about. How to do that while remembering every password securely? Not really an option. I used other password managers, but they always cost a lot of money or they weren't open source so I couldn't trust them. I used 1Password before and while that one is superior GUI wise, KeePass was just better overall. It's open source, it's literally on every platform. I even use it on my iPhone with MiniKeePass. I think customizing how I want my passwords are generated is very cool. I also like how I can include notes alongside my general passwords. My passphrase memorized allows me to upload my kbdx file anywhere without having to worry about it being broken. I'll always say the more eyes on open source software the better and I know a lot of people have looked through KeePass.

GUI needs some work, but it's a password manager so I shouldn't expect anything fancy. It just works. The mobile app that's not really related to KeePass directly also isn't as user-friendly. I"ll say though KeePass is very extensible in connecting to browsers through support of users building software for it.

Always backup your kbdx file!

I'm solving personal security as well as some work related passwords I can't just have laying around in plain text.

Keepass is just straightforward, it doesn't pretend to do everything. It keeps passwords safe, and it does very very well. The data you can save for each access also allows one to have a simple inventory of ones user ids registered all over the web.

Also the fact that it can use keys combined with password is useful for keepass safe sharing for single projects.

The notes are very badly displayed. Also the personal/pro difference has no reason since I never found nobody that uses the non-pro version because it really has too many limitations.

If you need a password manager to work with while you're on the move. This is the software for you, just be advised to make sure that all the people that work with you are using the same software.

Secure single project passwords without having to have forcedly a SIM solution. Especially since, as a consultant, we often work outside off-prem and keepass is portable.

Working in the software business, I need to remember dozens of usernames/passwords and I prefer not to have the same password for each to be more PCI compliant. KeePass is a wonderful tool to help you generate a random password. You can then safely save all your usernames/passwords and even URLs for the associated username/password. These are all protected by a master password when you launch KeePass so just anyone can't launch the program and have access to your credentials.

KeePass does not automatically capture login credentials and the user must do it manually which is only a minor gripe of mine. From a new user perspective, it may also be daunting with how many settings there are to choose from. A main concern is that the plugins are not guaranteed safe but I have had no issues thus far.

KeePass is a useful tool for anyone with multiple logins to remember. I find in most useful in my day to day work to help me work that much more quickly and efficiently.

KeePass not only helps save time by giving you quick and easy access to all your user credentials but it also has many useful plugins. I personally use KeeForm, which is designed to open and scan a website for input fields and enter your credentials accordingly which is supported in IE, Chrome, and Firefox.

You have total control over where the password database gets stored. Want to keep it on a USB drive that lives on your keychain? Sure. Want to just stick in Dropbox, no problem. Rolling your own cloud-type solution? You're the boss. Need to burn it to a DVD with a copy of Keepass (and the source) and stick in a vault for years and years? Whatever you want.

It's not nearly as convenient as something like Lastpass. Are you willing to trade some potential security for some definite convenience? Depends on what's being secured, I'd say.

Remember though that most passwords are only as secure as your email is, and many are about as secure as your mother's maiden name.

Unless you want to lock your password in an offline vault for emergency recovery situations, if you trying to decide between Keepass and Lastpass, just go with Lastpass. It's WAY more convenient, and way easier to have actual secure, random passwords for every random site you might visit.

The biggest security threat with passwords is password re-use, not people cracking the password of a given system. KeePass doesn't really do a lot to help you with that. Lastpass makes it absolutely trivial, which means it's going to get used, and used well.

Still, Lastpass has a cost, and is closed source. If you need a solution you can lock up and come back to 10 years from now without worrying that the service stops existing in the mean time, you can always save the KeePass source with the passwords, and then get it compiled and running for whatever futuristic systems we are using in a decade.

Keepass is useful for those passwords you want absolute control over.

KeePass (the "Pro" 2 version) is multiplatform, based on .NET thus working nicely also on Linux I work on as my main OS. The database is robust and I haven't experience any glitch or db corruption for several years I use it. Great feature is saving history of the records, trash bin, custom icons etc. Most important is the possibility to link it with KeeFox for Firefox browser or other plugins for other browsers, and ability to open it on Android phone/tablet with KeePass2Android that allows also secure keyboard to copy-paste usernames and passwords. On Windows KeePass2 is part of Ninite bundle which saves a lot of time when installing basic SW on a new WIndows installation which I do quite often.

The languages except English are not bundled by default. When I install it to somebody who does not understand English and the person is using Windows, I have to manually download the language pack, then copy it manually to Program Files app folder, go through UAC to copy the file to this location etc... Also I miss the ability to use the feature of combined key where you could select to open database by (A) combination of WIndows login + fingerprint, or (B) regular password as a failsafe option. The app should include the option to log in by biometric sensors in general in combination with some PIN or Windows login, and always have the possibility to login by regular passphrase and change these alternative logins in case of some problem (losing Windows account etc)

KeePass is great for personal password management. Missing "enterprise" features (master central passphrase, biometrics, combination of x from y possible login methods,...) makes it complicated for deployment and use in a larger company.

I try to encourage all people in our company to use KeePass2 for storing their passwords for intranet sites, email, VPN, RDP connections etc instead of writing it on post-it, notebook or some other similarly stupid insecure ways of remembering passwords. Some people started using it properly but some have issues with it. Also a ṕossibility to have a master key for several databases that could not be changed by the user itself (so in case the person leaves or forgets the passphrase, the admin could still open the database) is missing.

Simple to setup and version control. A large range of front ends are available to use.

Honestly, it was the first product that I tried to fulfill my teams needs and it did all of them. Can't complain with that.

It lets you easily pass around the store that made sharing it trivial. No worries about third party servers at all. It's nice to be in complete control of the store.

Mac client could be better. Windows client isn't the prettiest of interfaces.

Almost too many features. Really just needed a simple way to secure passwords between team members, not all of the categorization and comment fields. Doesn't hurt to have them though.

We used a git repo to share the KeePass file. Maybe not the best way to share this kind of file considering it is one massive blob and you could definitely end up with conflicts. Luckily we make changes so rarely that this doesn't come up for us.

Just try it. It's easy to setup and free so there really isn't a lot to lose.

Used to share passwords between team members for important developer accounts, signing certificates and release keys.

Not having a plaintext file with all of these passwords, or expecting people to email them around has definitely gotten rid of a lot of our security concerns. Now we just share a single password with team members and they can take it from there.

KeePass puts you in control of your passwords. My favourite aspect of KeePass stems from its open source nature, which lets me pick the client that suits me best, use the same database across multiple platforms and have the possibility to keep it offline without having to upload my passwords to someone else's servers if I choose not to.

I used to use KeePassX on Linux, but now use MacPass to access my KeePass database on my computer. Encrypted with a strong password and a keyfile kept separately, I can also have easy access to my passwords on my iPhone using MiniKeePass.

KeePass also supports strong password generation, offloading the burden of having to think of a new unique one up every time you want to sign-up to a new service for example.

Most other password managers either require a hefty price for a license, or an expensive monthly subscription that adds up over the years. I'd have to honestly mention that the fact that KeePass being free (as in beer) is a strong point it has going for it. Everyone owes it to themselves to adopt a strong password management solution if they use the Internet.

I'd be lying if I said that KeePass was the easiest software available. There are a few reasons for this.

Firstly there is no single "vendor" which offers a KeePass solution across all platforms. Depending on the device you use, your available choices of software will vary, indeed complicating adoption for new users.

Secondly, support is limited. KeePass itself, and most of its implementations are open source software and don't offer the traditional support channels people may come to expect from software they use.

Depending on the platforms you use, here are some KeePass clients to get you started:

- Windows: KeePass

- Linux: KeePassX

- Mac: MacPass

- iOS: MiniKeePass

- Android: KeePassDroid

Just like anyone who frequently uses the Internet, I found myself at a certain point where keeping track of all my passwords difficult. KeePass was the solution I found that best fits my needs. I can now generate strong unique passwords every time required without breaking a sweat.

Storing all the required login information, being able to quickly retrieve them through search, as well as knowing that they are all secure has taken a burden off my day-to-day work.

1. Free

2. Easy to use

3. Links to Dropbox

4. Excellent for user/small only implementation

Not suitable for large scale enterprise environments due to portability. If an ex-employee has this DB file and knows the password and leaves, you are exposed. There is no "off the shelf" web interface for this product which can limit you to how you can connect and view databases. If there was an inbuilt feature then you would be able to connect in all possible ways to the DB. The two factor implementation is rather weak, using a keyfile type system. It would be much better to have a Google Authenticator type two factor.

Consider this if you do not need to have a web front end DB with no two factor authentication. Check out KeeWeb which is on the Github repository, it is a free self hosted front end to Keepass. It could however expose your database to potential attack if presented to the internet.

For a free and easy password DB implementation to a small team/environment then it is hard to beat this product.

KeePass is open source. I haven't inspected the source code, but it's good to know that any NSA backdoors/etc are available for the whole world to see if anyone is curious enough.

KeePass is free. I don't like the idea of a subscription payment model for something that is vital to my daily use. I would have been willing to pay for KeePass, although at the start I might have considered the cheapest option and never gotten into KeePass in the first place.

I also enjoy the autotype feature, and while it could be better at detecting which website it's on, it's nice to just hit a hotkey (when it works) and be logged in.

The autotype command does not work on some websites, keepass does not seem to recognized that you are on a certain page.

I am a software engineer and computer enthusiast, but I can easily see someone who is not as tech savvy having a difficult time using the application.

Store your database file in dropbox! That way you can use it across computers. If I create a new account from my laptop while in a coffee shop, I can be assured the password that KeePass generated will be available when I get home and sit down at my desktop.

Using a different password for every account I own. This gives me protection in case one of my accounts is compromised.

Strong password generators

Ability to reset password from clipboard after 10 secs

Portable encrypted database.

KeePass provides very minimal features compared to other paid software.

I wish there is a better way of syncing the database on multiple platforms. Currently using Dropbox is my solution.

I do not have anything negative to say about this software. it's a freeware, it provides basic functionalities that solve all my problem. Thank you, KeePass developers.

Please give this software a try, it will make your life a lot easier. I have encountered many of my friends who tend to forget about their passwords. Once I recommend this software to them, they can never thank me enough. Some of them stay with KeePass because it has basic features that's enough for a minimalistic person such as myself, some of them spent some money for similar software which offer some cool and practical features.

I started to search for password management software when LinkedIn was hacked in 2012 and user credentials were posted online. Back then, I use the same password for my every online account, this incident made me realize that '1 password for all' was a really bad idea.

Then my immediate solution was to store my passwords in google spreadsheet, so I will only need to remember one strong password as the entry point to gain access to my other strong passwords. But the process was all manual, I also use a third party website to generate a strong password with special characters and minimum 20 characters.

After doing this method for a while, then I saw one of my colleagues was using KeePass on his mac. I downloaded the OSX version and I immediately fell in love with the software. It was really easy to understand and I transferred all my passwords to KeePass and still use this software till today.

Now I have more than 100 very strong passwords in my KeePass and the best part is, I do not have to memorize any of them.

I don't have a lot of demands for a password manager. I just need to store and sort passwords, and KeePass delivers on that. It's fast, has clients available for most of the platforms I use, and lets me comfortable manage my passwords.

I can save passwords in folders, add longer descriptions to them, add custom icons.

KeePass also features a password generator, letting me create passwords that are much longer than anything I could have come up with myself, and also unimaginably more secure, by virtue of that, and me having never actually seen the password with my own eyes.

In the past, I was annoyed by lack of cross-platform support, but that issue has now been resolved. I think the only annoyance to have with KeePass nowadays is that browser integration is a bit clunky, with Chrome especially.

Compared to paid offerings, KeePass lacks things like cloud synchronization out of the box, but this has a very easy remedy - if you need to use cloud syncing, you can just put your KeePass file in a cloud storage folder - that's it!

KeePass is available on a variety of platforms, but not all of them have a first-party client. For Mac and Linux users, I find that KeePassX is the best choice, while for Android, it would be KeePass2Droid. Both have comparable functionality to the standard version, but with some niceties like cloud syncing support, if this is something you need.

I use KeePass is to manage passwords for a company's accounts. No longer is managing passwords a pain, making the company more secure.

KeePass is my favorite personal tool that I use- it lets me secure 100s of passwords under high security across different devices! The open source nature of this tool means that there are Android, iOS, Windows and other clients that I can store passwords in. The .KDB file has seemed to gain a standard and can probably brought into Enterprise Password managers too.

There have been a lack of updates- I am looking for biometric means of protection and the Android version I am using doesn't support this. The simplicity of the software has its upside in what probably amounts to better security and it "just works".

Make sure you try out different client versions of KeePass, there are different developers out there. Some have been updated and others are more simple (Which I tend to prefer).

I am able to store passwords across my entire life in one place. This allows me to create differentiated passwords and keep them extra secure as a best practice. I don't know what I would do without a tool like this! KeePass has always been a tremendous asset and I would recommend it to anyone whether at work or as a personal help.

Having a password database has changed my life! My favorite feature is auto-type into any program--NOT just browsers! I'm absolutely passionate about sharing KeePass to everyone I know!

KeePass isn't as easy as it could be for new low-technical users. My recommendation is to put your KeePass database on a Dropbox account. Then it's available to you on all your devices/PC's.

I can't recommend KeePass enough! When you get started, you need to create a new database which you should put on a web-drive such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Box.com, or similar. Once you do, you need to enter all the passwords that you've created on all the various sites. Don't be discouraged as this is a big task. You need to patiently use it each time you visit a site and generate a new password for each site.

The web is full of user registrations and passwords to remember. Without a password manager such as KeePass, you just have to use the same password everywhere. The problem is if one site gets hacked and your password is compromised, then the hackers can get into all of your accounts. KeePass solves this elegantly!

I like the all in one nature of this tool and the data set that can be stored by default. The password generator is flexible and the secure copy/paste mechanism is a real plus!

The save/sync mechanism is a bit weak and you do risk loosing your data if you forget to save. An autosave feature would be a great plus!

Get rid of your post-its, spreadsheets and written passwords. Secure your environment and track your passwords all in one piece of software!

Keeping track of passwords required for our work that an entire team would need access to and allowing upper management access to these passwords in the case of an emergency as well. Preventing saving of passwords in notebooks and or post-it notes.

I have been using KeePass for years. I use pluggins to automate the passwords for multiple website logins allowing me to create secure and random passwords. I store the passwords with OneDrive allowing me to gain access to the file across multiple devices and also not having to worry about losing the database.

KeePass helps me keep all vendor and personal password separate for better security.

The plugins don't always work as expected, but they are written by third parties. The overall program works very well for what is intended to do.

It allows me to maintain passwords to hundreds of sites that I visit with unique passwords for both personal and business use.

This is one of the most organized utilities, letting me customize all my password and account details down to my preferred levels. Great for the tinkerer, and developers seem to design great add-ins to allow for further control and sync.

The fact that I'm able to work on my windows laptop, sync it go Google Drive, then open it on my Android phone makes this incredibly valuable!

Some plugins, though they are stated to work, can cause issues and errors that aren't easily diagnosed. Can occasionally be a resource hog, but not too often.

This became a universal replacement for passwords kept in spreadsheets and a decentralized system at a prior position. Having used this for years in personal experience, seeing it in an enterprise environment solving issues was great.

It has an average support quality, easy to download and install, it doesn't weight too much and i can keep it in my usb device.

It's too dificult to use it, i don't understand every feature, lots of documentation and technical words, it works only in windows so my others devices i can't use it, website is kinda ugly and honestly this software looks like an old software from 2000.

There are other tools to keep your passwords safe more easily than this.

I try and use it some time. It works pretty neat on windows and it can be util for people with some knowledge about computer science.

KeePass offers an excellent level of security, given that I control my vault database and can store it on my own servers, so I'm not required to trust somebody else's security framework.

I'm also really pleased with the level of integration I've been able to achieve with various tools including web browsers and remote access tools.

There's not much to dislike. However if I were to try to deploy KeePass at the enterprise level it could be a bit daunting, especially if I wanted to implement some kind of master key.

I'm using it as my personal password manager. Having a different high-quality password for absolutely everything is the only workable personal password policy today, and KeePass makes that work for me.

Compatible, portable, can manage(keep copy, update, etc.) keepass database by myself. I use git to manage my database, which is portable to any where.

Can only attach one file each entry.

Cannot import external database on iPhone(keepass app)

Enable keepass database to be portable anywhere, so we only need to maintain only one copy of our database. Or even can provide a keepass db repo, but there are many secure issues here to concern.

Storing/recording lots of my own scerets information. I don't have to remember all secrets using my brain. And also since the softeware is so portable, I can access my secret database any where. I manage my keepass database using bitbucket, so I can download it from anywhere.

The best feature I think is the ability to have a keepass database on multi platforms. I run keepass on my windows desktop and kypass on my iphone.

I don't like that there is no built in cloud support.

Keep your password more secure using a password and a key file located on separate media.

Well the most obvious problem it solves is keeping track of every different password we have for every different application. We love the ability to have multiple people access the same database of passwords.

The master key can contain passphrase and file so that password database is very hard to break. Also KeePass has portable version so that I can save them (KeePass, password db) to USB to let them more secure.

KeePass only supports Windows. Official version for MacOS should be released.

Sharing passwords among websites are insecure. Use KeePass to generate and store passwords for you.

Sharing the same password among multiple websites is insecure. KeePass can generate and store unique password for websites and I only need to remember only one.

Keepass is simple. It just works, and is easy to sync with dropbox/google drive to ensure it's on all my devices.

The interface I've been using for the mac (KeepassX) is a bit clunky. There is work being done on a native interface to Keepass on Mac (Macpass), but I found it to be too buggy the last time I tried it out. This was several months ago and I can't comment on the current status.

Keepass 2 is a significant update, allowing you to maintain multiple databases side by side. Make sure you're using the latest version.

Good passwords help keep your internet accounts safe, but are impossible to remember. Keepass helps.

Free and open-source. Therefore you can personally verify there are no backdoors. Doesn't cost anything so saves you money!

DIY-ethos. Rather than storing information in the cloud which can be dangerous, you can store your passwords locally and then if you want to use cloud-storage to store the encrypted database file. Full control over the encryption.

Password generation utility is solid.

Ability to use any file as a 'key' file as an authentication method.

Other than the Windows client you often find yourself relying on third-party clients to access your database. This comes with potential security risks and is not very convenient either as not all of them are free.

No built-in autofill feature like other password managers.

If you value total-control and price over convenience, this may be better than other password management services out there. Otherwise look elsewhere to services like LastPass.

Allowed me to switch from using one password for everything to a different password for every service that I use. Much more secure and stopped me worrying about my password being found out (other than my master password!)

- Secure: open source allows anyone to audit the code

- Full control: passwords are not stored in a third party cloud

- Multiple GUI clients available

Lack of adoption was the big issue (note that this is not directly the fault of KeePass):

- The GUI clients that are available haven't received enough development to make them easy and seamless

- Software libraries haven't been updated in months and years, I was specifically looking at node.js, but python has the same issue

I work at a smallish software shop that is in the process of deciding on a singular password management system that can be utilized in our deployment systems, browser access, configuration management, etc.

I stumbled on keeweb (a pretty web ui to KeePass files) and then discovered KeePass - it seemed like it might be a solution that would fit my specific needs:

- a nice ui for managing passwords

- portable, its just a file you can plop anywhere

- encrypted, so secure

- at a first glance there were some libraries available

We tried it out, but were unable to integrate it into our workflows in a way that felt comfortable:

- browser extensions weren't very easy to use

- libraries weren't well maintained

Most of our issues were a result of the way we wanted to use KeePass
