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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

[Bitwarden](https://www.capterra.com/p/210695/Bitwarden/)

Reasons for choosing KeePass

Cost was one of the main factors, but in the end KeePass has all the necessary features anyway, so it was an easy decision.
