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.

Features

  • Strong security (AES encryption, SHA-256 hash, protection against dictionary and guessing attacks, in-memory protection, ...).
  • Portable (no installation required), available for many platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, smart devices/phones, ...).
  • Efficient and flexible organization (entry groups, tags, time fields, file attachments, ...).
  • Various data transfer methods (clipboard, drag and drop, auto-type, plugins can provide integration with other applications, ...).
  • Powerful password generator (generation based on character sets and patterns, with many options).
  • Extensible (plugin architecture) and multi-language (more than 40 languages are available).

  • Slip sliding away... In 2010, KeePass was a great and wonderful accomplishment. Unfortunately, it's 2022. KeePass looks more and more like a patchwork of incremental changes and improvements built on an outdated application, which makes unreasonable demands on the patience and technical abilities of the average user. No one wants to punch in a password any more if they can avoid it. Two-factor authentication is becoming the norm. Everyone wants their two or more intelligent devices to recognize them automatically. Windows is not the only important operating system any more. KeePass for Windows has not evolved to keep up with modern expectation. While there is a KeePass-compatible app for Android that enables the use of biometrics, there's no native, maintained, fully-functional way to make the KeePass for Windows application use Windows Hello biometrics. (The one plug-in that does this has not been updated for years). Firefox and Chrome trust Windows user identification security ( They don't have to, of course, but who logs in each session to use a browser?) I understand the rationale. I chose not to continue to use KeePass 1.x. Once I decided to use 2.x, I had to trust the encryption routines of the Windows OS. If I want some semblance of convenience, I have to trust the Android KeePass port app author, Google, Mozilla, all other Windows components supplied by Microsoft, my Windows antivirus vendor, Samsung, Dell, and I don't actually know who else. I know they are not completely trustworthy. I am just not the kind of person that goes to the trouble of implementing two-channel keystroke obfuscation. I have made the bet that no criminal or government will ever put a clipboard peeper or keystroke logger onto my computer. Bad things sometimes happen, yes, but if I take reasonable precautions, I may die of old age before any particular bad thing happens to me. Take earthquakes, for example. Should I limit my life experiences by refusing to live only in regions where earthquakes never occur? Now multiply that by every other foreseeable hazard. Is there anywhere left to live? If an application is engineered for people who are so principled, distrustful, and technologically adept that they will only use open-source applications and operating systems running on hardware they assembled themselves, eventually that special group of people will be the only users. I wish you well. Sadly, if something does not change, that's what I think will happen.
