Why KeePass?
Today, you have to remember many passwords. You need a password for a lot ofwebsites, your e-mail account, your webserver, network logins, etc.The list is endless.Also, you should use a different password for each account, becauseif you would use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password,you would have a problem: the thief would have access to all of youraccounts.
KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manageyour passwords in a secure way. You can store all your passwords in onedatabase, which is locked with a master key. So you only have to remember onesingle master key to unlock the whole database. Database files are encryptedusing the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known(AES-256, ChaCha20 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 code and check whether the securityfeatures are implemented correctly.
As a cryptography and computer security expert, I have neverunderstood the current fuss about the open source software movement. In thecryptography world, we consider open source necessary for good security; we havefor decades. Public security is always more secure than proprietary security.It's true for cryptographic algorithms, security protocols, and security sourcecode. For us, open source isn't just a business model; it's smart engineeringpractice.
