Keepass free password manager

If you’re like me you probably have many accounts online which require a user name and a password. The easy thing to do would be to use the same user name/password for all your login’s, but it is certainly not the best thing to do. Can you trust all the sites you are using ?  Are the passwords encrypted ? So the most secure option is to use different user name/passwords for all your accounts. For the account you use daily you probably won’t have a problem remembering your login details, but what about that site you use once a month ? Time to keep a list of your passwords and user names.

KeePass is a lightweight, easy to use, open source password manager. It allows you to build an encrypted database with all your passwords and protect it with a master password or a key file.
