KeePass Password Safe
December 9, 2005 in 4 out of 5 stars, A piece of software, FreeKeePass Password Safe is a free, open-source Windows application that stores your passwords in a strongly encrypted database (only a single file). Translations are available for at least 30 languages, and you can import your passwords from many other password management applications. Screenshots are available here. Dominik Reichl It has a very intuitive user interface, as well as many advanced features, including a very good random password generator, a password quality tester, and the ability to write plug-ins to extend the application's features. You can include attachments with your password record, and it will even remind you when your password should be changed. It supports two-factor authentication (password plus a token that is stored on a disk, pen-drive, or other medium). For the crypto-people in the audience, it uses SHA-256 hashes and AES encryption.
It is completely free and open-source, and is being updated regularly.
I've been using this product since around 2003, and I haven't had a single problem with it. I store my passwords on a pen-drive so that I can always have access to them, yet not be worried in case I lose it. KeePass was designed only for Windows. FREE Reviewed by Michael ScovettaWhat is it?

I used this for some while, really great software, I loved it. But of course there came a moment that I went back to using 4 passwords instead of 15.

Not to be confused with "KeepAss," which is a different product entirely.
Very different.
