Great password manager

Kommentare: KeePass is my choice for storing passwords in a secure offline database.

Vorteile:

Super good autofill feature, many plug-ins available and super safe.

Nachteile:

No real-time sync makes it difficult to use with more people simultaneously.Need to synchronize in order to update with the new entries.

KeePass For Password Management

Kommentare: It is my go-to password manager and rolling out to our entire organization. I've used it for years, and in my newest position have certain responsibilities over cybersecurity, so distributing a password manager to help encourage users to maintain complex passwords is essential.

Vorteile:

It's easy to use, simple to install, you can share a key database across devices so that you can get to your list from anywhere.

Nachteile:

It's really difficult to find flaws in a free tool that offers extensive functionality for storing and managing passwords. I honestly ycan't think of anything I like least.

KeePass Experience

Kommentare: I have used very little of its functions but do feel very conficent that my password are secure since I have started to use it.

Vorteile:

It is free to use. It can generate new passwords if you choose to use that function.

Nachteile:

I don't like the look. It is "cold & unfriendly" and look old. Sometimes I would rather just go back and use a spreadsheet. It is always asksing me to download updates. Would be nice if it would do it automatically.

KeePass review

Kommentare: Overall, I am very happy using this tool to store accounts' credentials and use it daily in my work and private activities

Vorteile:

One of the best password manager to generate, store and use credentials. Very easy to implement and use, very much recommended to generate strong and unique passwords

Nachteile:

I have not come across any least things in my use cases

Own your secrets database - self-managed key management solution

Kommentare: I'm using KeePass for over 5 years now and it has been great experience. It can be easily customized with available plugins. The database is easily backed-up and accessible via different channels.

Vorteile:

You own the password database which is password-protected and encrypted.

Nachteile:

It's not integrated with web browsers so not as convenient as some cloud tools with web browser plugins.

Once you use KeePass, there's no going back!

Kommentare: KeePass makes it possible to store the passwords (database) in-premise. This makes it possible for us to secure our passwords with the present infrastructure without second guessing the levels of security that is offered. Since we can implement our own cloud storage, all passwords are always a click away whether online or offline; desktop or mobile. We are never going back to another password manager ever!

Vorteile:

It has never been easier to use a password manager before we started using KeePass. On the closed-source platforms, the per-user fee kept going up with each additional user. Over time, we've even lost access to one of our accounts. This is where KeePass has shined for us. Keeping the database local has helped solve so many of the issues that we otherwise have to deal with while using other password managers. All of this while being completely open source? Easily the best decision that we've ever made.

Nachteile:

While using a single database in a multi-user, there is always a chance that one user could over the changes made by another user. But, there are plenty of extensions available to add/remove functionality. In our environment, we regularly save versions, thereby securing our own data.

Simple, complete, efficient for free

Vorteile:

This solution is super efficient and flexible. It is possible to install the software or use the portable version in a shared directory to use it on several computers without any synchronization problem. The interface is simple, at the service of efficiency.

Nachteile:

The interface could be a bit more modern, but that's a detail. The most important are the features.

If you're tech savvy, this is the password manager for you

Vorteile:

Quick to install and use. It has lots of plugins and features, covering all the scenarios I need. I especially like the fact that you can store your password archive pretty much everywhere and aren't stuck with a cloud provider or a specific vendor.

Nachteile:

The GUI is a bit 1990, but all in all it works fine and you don't really need anything fancy to manage your passwords

Worth the Peace of Mind

Vorteile:

Easy to use and gives me peace of mind of having secure passwords without having to memorize them all.

Nachteile:

Nothing bad, if possible they could make the user interface prettier.

Perfect for keeping passwords safe

Kommentare: The software is very easy to use, I have two databases, one for work and one personal one. It's really easy to switch between the two databases and the function to auto populate your username and password is literally a time saver for me

Vorteile:

I work with a lot of different systems in my job, and each requires a unique and strong password, without KeePass I would not be able to keep these systems secure. It's easy to populate a new password and keep it random and secure.

Nachteile:

The app doesn't always recognise websites to use the automatic population, but you can add the URL to the entry to help with this.

It's hard to beat a great, free product!

Vorteile:

- The software is free- The data lives locally- You can set your own encryption levels- Excellent password generator

Nachteile:

- Somewhat frequent updates- Not too much else other than that

Should have software

Vorteile:

Meets my all requirements regarding storing the credentials and is easy to use.

Nachteile:

So far I can't say that there are any cons about this software.

KeePass is great, it's a free software that allows for storing, generating and managing passwords

Kommentare: I really like the product and have used it for a long time - 6 years or so. It solved the problem for me of having the same password for all sites and accounts. Now I only remember one, the rest are random generated passwords. This means if one of those sites gets hacked - all other sites and accounts are not also vulnerable.

Vorteile:

KeePass has all the features you need to store, manage and generate passwords. I started using it after yet another site I used was hacked and was at that time using the same password for all my sites. It solved the problem for me by allowing me to remember only one strong password and have generated passwords for all the others. It has a great feature set and really lacks nothing in that department. Nice clean interface, easy to use.

Nachteile:

The only con with KeePass and software like it, is it is file based. I used to store my password database file in cloud storage which worked well for using between computers, but was cumbersome when trying to use on my phone. I have now bitten the bullet and moved to BitWarden, there is a lot of convenience to having your account in the cloud - though you have to accept the risk that it is all out there. The file storage option that KeePass uses is a bit dated but it is far more secure in a sense.

Secure offline password manager

Kommentare: KeePass has been an excellent tool for password security in commonly-used applications and for keeping track of otherwise-forgettable accounts on vendor websites. Since compatibility issues have been so minimal--no need to set it up for every browser, since it's an external program that runs on both Windows and Linux systems--I've relied on it for this purpose and have not considered switching to fiddly online password management.

Vorteile:

Unlike most password managers, KeePass is stored locally, so you're at minimal risk of anyone cracking your database from the Internet. The double-click feature is fast and intuitive for copying password data, the keyfile system adds another layer of set-t-and-forget-it security, and password generation can be set to follow a range of parameters. It even allows you to sort databases into subgroups and to merge databases, the latter of which I use because I keep two copies of the database for different machines.

Nachteile:

The menus are dates and not always intuitive to navigate. Changing the password generation settings is hard to get to, for a feature that is used so frequently--you have to open up the invidual database entry, open the password generation settings sub-dialogue, and pick out all the radio buttons (and number-of-characters text field) you'd like to use. Changing the default password generation settings is also pretty hard to find. The double-click feature doesn't always respond; something I need to double-click twice to copy the password into my clipboard.

KeyPass Review

Kommentare: KeyPass helps me to access my clients data and information securely over the web. I am saving all my save strong passwords in an application that can be stored on a USB stick, no need to install or accept any plugins and what not.

Vorteile:

I have been using KeyPass for quite some time now; and what i like about KeyPass is that it is fast and easy to install the software on PC or a USB stick; KeyPass does not need much memory or Hard disk space to operate; i can store all my passwords in the database that can be only accessed via a master password or a key file to unlock the whole database. KeyPass is a password generator that i can create a strong password based on a few options such as; use letters, symbols,alphanumeric, and etc. Keypass allows me to search and sort my passwords, export for txt file or csv, secure clipboard handling which clears out the copied passwords after a few mins and does not store any where in the system; KeyPass the application alone does not store password on the system.

Nachteile:

KeyPass is not compatible with any browsers so if i need to login into any website i would need to open the keypass app and physically copy and paste the password.

Feel free to use impossible passwords and forget them

Vorteile:

Free, and Open Source (which is a great pro when security is at stake). I use KeePassX in Linux and the store format is compatible with other OS versions. I firstly installed an older version and when I upgraded I momentarily thought I had lost all my passwords! But I quickly recovered when the program asked if I wanted to import the old format... The password generator has all the switches to satisfy the most annoying policies (case, symbols, etc). Any change to an entry is stored so that you don't lose the old passwords (in case the update goes wrong). You can set an expiry date that will remember you to update the password. The Android app has a pretty evoluted system to keep the password safe without forcing you to type the whole store password. Great also to remember in how many places you have an account, and weed them out!

Nachteile:

UI is not great. Choosing icons is painful and I cannot find use for most of them, they all look alike. Many systems, like remote banking, are not happy with just a username and password, and KeePass just offers a "Notes" area for additional pin codes and the like, which isn't functional at all. The auto-type feature needs to be used with care, or you might end up emailing your credentials to somebody! Some might think that no cloud integration is a con (although I don't).

An important tool to secure your online presence

Kommentare: Like many I've used Excel or post-it notes (shudder) to keep track of my passwords. I knew I should use a different password for each account, but it was so difficult to keep them straight. I investigated cloud-based services and with all the data breaches I just didn't trust that my accounts and passwords would be secure or that the company would even be around. I also wanted to access my passwords on my phone. So I chose keepass because I could store the vault-file on my DropBox which is also available on my android phone. And with the Android client I now have access to all my accounts and passwords on all my devices. All I have to remember is my keepass password which is very long, complex, and easy for me to remember. Everything else is random - I don't even know the passwords to my online accounts! I also imported my old Excel password spreadsheet into Keepass so I can consult it if I access a very old account, which prompts me to change the passwrod to a strong one generated by KeePass. Highly recommended!

Vorteile:

Strong encryption Helpful account & password organization Clean upgrades Works on Android!

Nachteile:

Weak integration into web browsers Other online services have an auto-password-change feature that would be nice

Safe, localized password storage done right. Good for the paranoid.

Kommentare: Great for security and convenience - have all your passwords in one place, and know it's being protected. Never worry about passwords left out on post-its again!

Vorteile:

- Free and open source. It may be a placebo, but it helps me trust the intentions of the developers. - No bloat. Extremely straightforward interface. - Multiple options for protecting access to the database; personally, I just have a password, but you can also have a key file or link access to your Windows account. - Built-in password generator, with multiple levels of complexity - Extensive categorization options and functional search tool, if you need to manage large numbers of passwords

Nachteile:

- One very minor irritation: if you're scrolling through the list and double-click on the info section of an entry instead of the name, it will copy the information to your clipboard instead of opening the entry. At first, I thought the program was just not responding; the two areas are close together and not clearly delineated, odd as it may sound.

This century must-have!

Kommentare: Personally, I've never met a single person in development environments I've ever worked in who hasn't been using KeePass. It's a completely must-have for any sysadmin or developer - it's the only way to somehow handle with all hundreds of admin and user accounts we need to have for everyday work.
By keeping database file in the cloud I can access all my passwords from different machines and still don't be afraid of any data leak.

Vorteile:

As it's open source software, it's allowed in most companies. Simply and easy to use - no unnecessary additions. KeePass can generate a secure password if we run out of imagination. Completely free and works on most common systems (Win, Mac, Linux, Android), so there is no need to look for paid competition on different devices!

Nachteile:

If credentials fields' are separated by any element, autotype doesn't skip it and in effect doesn't work. Too crude appearance - it reminds me Windows 98 style. No possibility to store more login data than username and password.

Made sense of a sprawling mess

Kommentare: Easy to use massive time saver, intant access as it is stored local to your machine and when you cannot connect to a Wifi you do not need network access to find that password !

Vorteile:

Managing passwords these days is becoming a headache and storing these in various locations for a business was becoming unmanagble. Keepass has sorted it out completely. Each entry can be stored under a customizable folder, and alongside additional notes filed additional fields can be added. History is also kept which can be very handy if your having trouble. This software alows strong indvidual password to be created for each of your site and when viewing in table view a double click copies this to the clipboard for a set amount of time - big time saver, no I'm going one further, its a bigly time saver. It is not cloud based it is local, but you can synchronise databases across the network, this was a big plus for us. Its free.

Nachteile:

does not automatically save when exiting the database, you have to switch this on ! , we have lost entries due to this ! thats it.

The best password manager for local use

Kommentare: this is the first password manager i ever have, open source, still using it after a couple of year but only for a couple of master password, as i often use password manager built in firefox or bitwarden

Vorteile:

- very very safe, the only way to hack this is if you have physical access to laptop/computer itself - clear clipboard after 10s so we can't copy paste later on - great password generator - light weight app, can be use as an portable apps in usb - doesnt need internet connect to the password database - free

Nachteile:

- UI is a bit dated - must save manually every time i create a password account - version 1 and version 2 are different database have to update manually to use the database password - no firefox pluggin - the biggest of all is no sync, you can sync it with google drive or dropbox for the database password

Secure, Simple, Mobile, Free - Everything a Password Lockbox Should Be

Kommentare: This is so much more secure, reliable, and accessible than any other tool on the market. We tried to use Zoho Vaults but hated the double sign on and interface. Keepass feels like a file interface - categories/tabs and entries. One login and you're there!

Vorteile:

A developer friend recommended Keepass as a secure way to share databases of usernames, passwords, notes, URL's, and other credentials several years ago. Since then, my entire team has used Keepass across multiple projects and as a method of coordinating and securely sharing credentials over email. Keepass allows us to organize, store, and rapidly access huge collections of login and account credentials. The encryption is highly secure, and the password generator tool is an added bonus. We have used this tool for both in-place (PC) and portable (thumb drive) applications. The search functionality to easily find buried or old usernames and passwords is fast and simple. Overall, a great, free tool that does exactly what it says it does.

Nachteile:

The developers are on top of their security and release frequent updates. I have not found an auto-update feature that would prevent the 'new version' popups but would like to see one.

Best Offline password manager there is period

Kommentare: Amazing Offline Password manager that makes life easy and saves lots of time.

Vorteile:

- offline, passwords are not stored in the cloud for hackers to get to - encrypted on rest, passwords are stored encrypted with a password and possible a key - searchable database, easy to search for any password entry in the entire database - password folders to keep the clutter down - image attachement support - keyboard shortcuts

Nachteile:

- not much is wrong with this tool - possible the only thing I have missed is that it would be good to add and extra field on an entry for easy access, right now its only username, password and URL, it would be good to also be able to copy paste TWO FACTOR code or something like that without having to edit

KeePass is great if it fits your use case

Kommentare: This replaced passwords being stored in spreadsheets, never a good idea. It allowed unmemorable high entropy passwords to be implemented, but in the end the lack of workable sync for multiple users became a barrier to use and caused us to move on. For a single user not requiring mobile use this could be a good free solution.

Vorteile:

I used KeePass from a network share to manage internal, the fact that it was free made it an easy way to show the benefits of using a password manager. The ability to generate passwords with high entropy at the click of a button certainly improved the security posture immeasurably.

Nachteile:

The lack of cloud based hosting and sync proved to be a barrier to long term use. Whilst you can work around this by using sync tools and shared folders, there is alway the risk of changes being overwritten by another user. The interface felt outdated and cluttered. The lack of official mobile builds was an issue.
