KeePass Password Safe

What is KeePass?
Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your homepage's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, homepage, etc. Unimaginable.

KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish). For more information, see the features page.


Is it really free?
Yes, KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source and check whether the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.

KeePass Password Safe (v1.x) 1.15

New Features:

Completely new plugin architecture (exposing a lot more functionality to plugins, faster, requires less memory, safer memory management / cross-module calls, more secure, and allows independent development of KeePass and plugins, i.e. starting with 1.15 KeePass can be updated without requiring plugins to be updated and vice versa).
Added option to use advanced in-memory protection (DPAPI, only Windows Vista and higher; the key is stored in a secure, non-swappable memory area managed by Windows; option enabled by default).
The hash of the master key and its transformed version are now in-memory protected.
Added help source selection dialog (by default the online help center is used).
Added '-set-urloverride', '-clear-urloverride' and '-get-urloverride' command line options.
Focused disabled menu items are now drawn with a transparent selection rectangle.
Windows XP and higher: added support for double-buffering in the entry list.
Windows Vista and higher: added support for alpha-blended marquee selection in the entry list.
Added KeeForceAllowChangeMasterKey, KeeForceAllowPrinting, KeeForceAllowImport and KeeForceAllowExport configuration options (these override the option to disable unsafe operations and the mini mode setting; they are only loaded from the enforced and global INI files, not the local one).
Added KeeDisallowPrintingPasswords configuration option to disallow printing passwords and viewing them in the print preview.
Added multi-user documentation.

Improvements:

Improved plugin loading performance.
Plugins don't need to be manually enabled anymore (just copy the plugin files into the KeePass application directory).
Improved main menu items order.
Improved main menu accelerators.
Improved group main menu item texts.
Improved performance of various entry list operations.
Hash of master key is now cleared when closing a database.
Hash of file key is now cleared after opening/saving files.
Various code optimizations.
Minor other improvements.

Bugfixes:

Fixed cursor navigation problem in secure edit controls.
Fixed random access violation in OnScreenKeyboard plugin.
