Mike D.: Hi, my name is Mike. I'm a lead handshaker and I give KeePass a two out of five, and for more reviews like this, click below. In my day job, I travel all around the world and I need access to our different systems. So, our IT department gives me a KeePass file to be able to share with, how to access different areas of our intranet and infrastructure, and it's how I was onboarded. Because I am not working out of one of our physical office locations, they needed a way to onboard me and share passwords and URLs in a very secure environment. So, they sent me a computer with a KeePass file and KeePass pre-installed, and then from there on out, I use it to manage passwords and credentials. What I like about KeePass is that you're not relying on a third party service. You don't have to use a Cloud infrastructure, you can self host it on your own computer, which means you control the data, and that has a lot of privacy implications, especially with some of the other security considerations that we're reading about nowadays. What I dislike about KeePass is the user interface is pretty antiquated and it's not as intuitive as I would like it to be, and by default because it's hosted on my local computer, it doesn't have mobile apps and things like that, that some of the other competitors have.
