KeePass Editor's Review

Keep track of all your PC and online passwords with this Windows utility.

PC security is probably the most important issue you'll bump into today. One of the most important things you need to do to keep your computer safe is to track and secure all of your passwords. This is probably the biggest reason why I like applications like KeePass. It’s a password manager for Windows.

Today, nearly everything you do on your computer has a password that you need to remember for it. Windows has a network logon, your e-mail account, your website's FTP password, and then there are countless online passwords for websites, like your bank, Facebook, and Twitter. The list is endless. You should also use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets it, you have a serious problem.

KeePass is a free, secure password manager that helps you to manage your passwords. You can put all your passwords in one database and lock them with one master key or a key file. With KeePass, you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole AES and Twofish encrypted database.

App Pro’s: Free

App Con’s: None

Conclusion: KeePass is a pretty cool app. While there are a lot of password safes out there, KeePass is free, and very easy to use. It you don't have an app of this type, then its probably a good idea to give this one some very serious consideration. Having your accounts hacked is not cool; and forgetting your password to an infrequently used, but important, asset is problematic. KeePass keeps track of them all, and does it for the right price.
