KeePass
A lightweight and easy-to-use password manager
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. -

Q4OS
Efficient, Rock Stable Operating System
Q4OS is a fast and friendly, desktop oriented operating system based on Debian Linux. It deploys Plasma, optionally Trinity, as desktop environment on top of Debian Linux rock stable base. The goal is to provide long-term supported system with a special emphasis on security. This is exactly what Debian base guarantees. We prefer the Debian development model to keep the core system as immutable as possible. It results in a reliable and stable system that you can definitely rely on. Thanks to unique Q4OS tools a user can rather easily achieve setup of a fitted system eliminating superfluous packages and libraries. Therefore Q4OS performs faster and more efficient, doesn't exploit memory and computing resources with useless tasks and processes. Another exclusive Q4OS feature is an optimized support for setting up Trinity desktop environment alongside the default Plasma desktop. Installed side by side, carefully separated, both ready to run as needed. Just select one at login. -
