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 CodeProject 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 or safe 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-disk. So you only have to remember one single master password or insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).

Key features:
· A database consists of one file that can be transferred from one computer to another easily.
· KeePass supports password groups, so you can sort your passwords.
· Drag-n-Drop passwords into other windows.
· Import from various formats like CSV, CodeWallet TXT and CounterPanes PwSafe1.
· Export password list to TXT, HTML, XML or CSV files.
· Print password list (complete database or only current view)
· Fast copy password or user name to the Windows clipboard.
· Searching in password database is possible.
· KeePass can be translated into other languages very easily (currently English, German, French, Dutch and Swedish are available)
· A strong random password generator (you can define the possible output characters).

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 for example check if the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.

Perhaps you wonder why I decided to make it open-source. The answer is relatively simple: in my opinion all software that has something to do with security should be open-source.

Change log:

· You can reuse existing key-disks now (when you select an existing key-disk, KeePass asks you if you want to overwrite or reuse it), this way you can use a single key-disk for multiple databases
· Settings of the global KeePass.ini now override the settings of the KeePass.ini in the user directory (administrators can install KeePass on a network drive and force some specific options, while leaving other options like UI settings up the users, read the FAQ for more information about this)
· Added command-line options for specifying the password and the key-file location (switches -pw: and -keyfile:, see docs)
· Improved exports: the entries are now grouped together (ordered by their group, not the creation order any more)
· When you export a group, its complete child tree will be exported now, too (i.e. all subgroups of that group)
· Added 'advanced' tab to the options dialog
· Added option to show all expired and soon-to-expire entries immediately after opening a database (see 'advanced' tab)
· Added 'minimize window on startup' option (the main window is minimized automatically when starting KeePass)
· Moved start and exit options into the 'advanced' tab
· Added option to start KeePass with Windows ('advanced' tab)
· Added option to backup modified entries into a 'Backup' group
· Improved comboboxes (better XP theme compatibility, better item indentation)
· When auto-typing, the window is minimized to tray if you enabled the minimize-to-tray option
· You are prompted for the database password if you try to auto-type when the database is locked
· The database isn't marked as modified any more when closing the edit-entry dialog with OK but without modifying anything
· KeePass now saves its options when you exit windows without closing KeePass first
· Added password confirmation dialog for the change-master-key dialog when changing to password + key-file
· Fixed a bug in the subgroup creation code
· CSV and XML file formats are now documented in the CHM manual
· Added documentation about the option loading/saving procedure
· Added password show/hide button right of the password edit control in the password generator dialog
· Password asterisks setting is now independent of the show-state of the password column in the main window
· Group structure is saved in XML exports (parent tree is stored in a 'tree' attribute of the 'group' element)
· Changed tray icon action trigger from single click to double click
· The enter-password dialog now appears in the task bar
· The key-file is now saved in its hex representation (i.e. you can look at it with a standard text editor)
· Cleaned up the code to save boolean/flag options
· Added window translation filter
· Improved window state handling routine
· Minor stability improvements (timer concurrency, ...)
· Minor translation improvements
