I used a program called 'PINS' for years and years, but eventually I decided that I needed something with a few more features. After trying a huge number of PW managers, and discovering none of them were very good, or suitable, I came across this OpenSource offering. Man alive, this was a find indeed. This app is loaded with features; you can organise pws into groups and subgroups, assign group icons, set up auto paste functions, generate secure passwords, etc. and securely protect your pw database. You can even use a keyfile to increase security! This really is a fantastic piece of free software. It knocks the payware offerings I tried out into a cocked hat. Highly recommend this software. I suggest that you spend 20 minutes reading the manual first however. Although most things are intuitive, you will get a better idea of the capabilities of the software, and you'll also realize what a great piece of kit you're getting for nothing. Good luck and enjoy.

You won't find too many (Free) password managers on the Internet with the features that Keepass offers. Coming from a person who has at least 10 different usernames for online forums with 9 different email accounts, personally, I can't keep up with all the login information I use every day. Talk about a headache, right? Keepass however, makes this easier to handle. You are given the option of creating an unlimited number of logins for various websites with the addition of secure generated passwords. Keepass also offers the function of auto-typing all your logins to the websites you visit online that require a username/password. You can also generate RANDOM passwords that aren't even copied into your Windows clipboard making things keylogger free. Also REMEMBER the password you set for your database. If you loose it like I just did, you can't answer a secret question to request a password change.

An excellent password manager

I have used a variety of password managers; this is certainly the best. It is neither complex nor intrusive, and is small enough to fit easily on to even the least capacious USB drive. Probably the most surprising thing about it is that it is free.

This is an excellent utility, secure and easy to use. KeePass is completely independent - I have it running on a USB stick which is fantastic. You can also attach a file to each entry which is encrypted in the database, very useful. I'm gradually building up the database with logins, software licenses/keys etc. etc. Invaluable.

This is a very useful program for storing and using passwords. I like the drag and drop feature especially. The fact you can use a file along with a password for access is nice and secure. And It's FREE!

Complicated and fiddly

Double clicking this standalone executable just complicated my life unnecessarily. It's packed with features and if I had the time and inclination, I'm sure I could get the hang of it. But I need a password manager that works straight out of the box - not one that sends me on a wild goose chase. Fun for some, I guess...

Best of the best freeware!
- Interface: 4
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 3
- Value: 5
- Overall:
Fantastic software, totally unrestricted freeware, flexible, portable and incredibly secure. Not as idiot proof as one of its rivals (but not restricted to 10 passwords either). Has it's own macro language for setting up non-standard login procedures + hotkey logging in so no cut and pasting/drag and dropping. You will need to read the manual to set up some of the advanced features, but it is well worth the effort. It can operate from a usb key or it can be managed on a network... It's the BEST!!

A good replacement for PINs
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5

- Overall:
I tried this password manager to see how it compared to PINs and I think it's a good alternative. PINs, however, has a much smaller footprint, is quicker to launch, and it's a smaller download. That said, I think this password manager is great for those who need additional features that PINs doesn't have.

The best password database I`ve found
- Interface: 4
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I wrote a positive review of another free password manager app but subsequently changed to this one because, hey, it's still free and it's better! This is the best password manager I've found so far. It's designed securely to combat keyloggers and is packed with features (even more via its various plugins). But still easy to use. It's also designed to be configurable enough for a network environment.

The greatest features have already been mentioned but I'll do it again. I chose this program because there was no need to install it. Just run the executable file and it opens. I put a copy on my thumb drive to keep on my keychain. I also just started using the hotkey function. Whatever site you are on, just hit ctrl-alt-a and KeePass will automatically log you in. No need to use the copy-paste function. It also supports drag-drop which works great.

Good program except for a couple of problems
- Interface: 4
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I liked nearly everything about KeePass. It's a smooth, easy-to-use, full-featured program in most aspects. However, printouts can be problematic in that text gets cut off the right edge of pages if you have long URLs or notes, in which case you have to make bothersome adjustments, such as shrinking the font size (landscape mode is almost a must). This might not affect all users, but in my case to get a complete sheet I needed to shrink fonts so much that it became difficult for me to read the pages. KeePass might want to study alternative printing layouts to remedy this potential problem. Also, I wasn't able to import CSV data (not even exported CSV data from KeePass that I then reimported); this might be my misunderstanding of the instructions, however. Other than that, I was completely content with everything else about the software.

Yes! This is the one! After trying a few other (awkward) password keepers I discovered KeePass and found out quickly that this program is useful, reliable, user friendly and very safe. It reveals passwords and other secrets only for a very short time on the clipboard, just long enough to paste it into a waiting password field. From now on I never have to click buttons with texts like: Forget Password? Very valuable and free!

There a a lot of freeware password keepers but there are a couple at the top of the heap. This is one of them which is evidenced by Snapfiles' rating and also by popularity. This superior program has earned both.

They assume every user is a computer programmer. Don't waste your time with it. They have pages and pages of how wonderful its features are, but not once do they tell you how to even pass the saved passwords onto the website in question!!.

The best password manager out there!
- Interface: 5

- Value: 5
- Overall:
I've been using KeePass for almost a year now, and it's without a doubt the best password manager out there. I've tried just about all of the others, and none of them come close in my opinion. I keep a copy of it on my USB thumb drive so that I always have the software and my passwords with me no matter where I go. One of the best features of this software is you really only need the executable file to run it, so you can run it from any PC without having to install software. It has just about every feature I could ever ask for, and it has a great interface. Best of all it's open source FREEWARE.

It's not much on tutorial, but the tree architecture is very easy to use and the features are pretty intuitive. I really like the auto-lock when minimized. Once you get comfortable setting up new groups of entries you can have a totally organized security folder with room to add side notes for reminders for those sites that have you jump through hoops with all sorts of special entries to remember.
