Computer Programmer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Can't do without it." December 4, 2018 5.0 As a software developer, I have a lot of different passwords. They're for different servers, websites, etc. My customers trusted me with this information, so they need to be kept in a very secure and reliable place. The way I set this up, I have a secure key file stored on a USB drive, with the passwords database stored in a separate location. I printed out the secure file, it's just a bunch of characters I could easily type in manually if I ever lose the USB drive. I keep that in a locked file cabinet as a backup in case the USB goes missing, or is corrupted. This setup has proved to be very reliable, and I've never had any issues with it. Pros It runs on all the operating systems I use: Mac, Windows, Linux, and Android. It has a portable version that I can keep on a USB drive. I like the feature to generate random secure passwords. I use that all the time. Cons The interface is a little outdated. It can be difficult to get everything organized, but it does the job well, so that's not a big issue.

Can be used with cloud storages to keep the password DB in sync Pros I use this password manager every day. It stores your password offline, uses master password to keep them safe. It can also be set to require a certificate for extra security. Cons While being really secure, not all the security features are enabled by default. For example, there's an option to use secure screen when entering master password on Windows, but this option is not enabled by default.

It is very easy and useful. I can't believe how useful it is. I am using for password management. I can create project folders and add all passwords. Cons It has no synchronization with other devices but you can copy & paste to drive your password file. Review Source Jess H. IT Help Desk Technician Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic password safe!" October 23, 2018 5.0 I use this software every day, and have never considered replacing it. Does that say enough? :) Pros It is quick and responsive when trying to query information, and allows you to store more than just a password - I also use it to store any information necessary on my users' computer, such as license keys. It really helps in my support role to have all of this information at my fingertips! Cons I have not found anything I dislike about the software. It has always been reliable and accurate. Review Source Ben W. Sales and Marketing Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great enterprise password manager" January 4, 2019 3.0 Pros This is an extremely powerful password program. We use KeePass for our company and have done so for many years. The password generator is extremely powerful, and there are a ton of different features within the program. We use the software on many different computers, with multiple users, and it keeps all of our passwords synced and in one secure place. Cons The user interface is old and feels outdated. other then this I don't have any major cons for this program. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Analista de Sistemas Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An Open Source password manager." March 25, 2019 3.0 Pros Keep Pass is open source, which ensures greater security among your competitors. It has a system with several types of encryption algorithms that can automatically generate extremely secure passwords for the user. Ensures the security of the computer's transfer area by cleaning it a few seconds after the user uses a copy function within the program. It has no limits on the amount of passwords to generate. It's free software. It does not require internet connection or access to websites to access passwords. Your passwords are stored in an encrypted "vault" file and it is up to the user to save and make copies. Cons The interface is a bit complicated and hides several useful functions. The software needs third-party integration to work on the smartphone and browsers. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sustaining Engineer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keep it Secret, Keep it Safe" April 19, 2019 5.0 local control over passwords made easy. just don't forget the master password! Pros ability to store (encrypted) and search for multiple login credentials for a variety of systems & websites. kdbx file can be opened on macOS and ios app. password generation and masking. limited time retention of copied passwords in the clipboard. Cons entering the master password incorrectly returns a scary error message about a damaged key. searches sometimes return an odd duplicate list of results Review Source VR Verified Reviewer President Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keepass is a great piece of software to help you manage your passwords." May 7, 2018 5.0 Pros I like that it is open source and free and it does the management of looking after my passwords really well. With lots of plugins to allow easier login to website and many many features, this really is a great piece of software. It makes my life easier, and I know that every website or service I log into has it's own unique password. Cons Just the look of it, while I find it super functional it looks a little bit dated, and this is just a personal thing. Review Source HH Houcem H. CITNSO Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Top free password safe" June 26, 2022 5.0 I use Keepass on a daily basis to manage hundreds of credentials. The tool is great for what it does, and provides a handful of useful extra features. However and as there is no built-in synchronization with the cloud, users must backup their data on a regular basis to avoid data loss. Pros KeePass is a local password safe used to safeguard passwords and secret credentials. Data remains local: there is no upload to the cloud, which means you are in control of your data (but also have to manage backups yourself). The tool is free and has handy features like password auto-type and integration with other tools such as Putty. Cons The UI is a bit dated and may use some visual updates. Also the tool does not come with a built-in updater. Reason for choosing KeePass LastPass Review Source Evilasio C. Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My experience of the KeepPass" January 8, 2022 5.0 Pros Keep Pass has an excellent cost-benefit ratio for any company. The software serves its purpose very well. Cons I can't say if anyone can find a counter on KeepPass, because for me it doesn't. It's easy to use, safe and very useful in everyday life. Review Source Gabriel K. System Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Your personal password box - free!" December 19, 2019 5.0 We use KeePass both personally and as a team. We have set up a kdbx (KeePass password box) file on our Sharepoint server and we access it remotely from there, as we have a lot of Admin passwords for different environments. Pros KeePass has many good things. It is entirely free, has a lot of small tools (like a custom password generator), its very light and - did I already say it is free? Cons There's nothing in particular that I dislike about KeePass as it does everything that we need it to do. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Medical Information Coordinator Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hands down the best option for free software" July 6, 2018 4.0 Pros A vault for passwords is essential in today's world. While a book of passwords might make sense for some, you really should be relying on a secure software that is accessible only to you, and far from reach for others. KeePass provides the peace of mind of always having my wealth of passwords at fingertip reach. I never want to go back to memorizing all my passwords now that I have the functionality of KeePass. Cons It isn't the most user-friendly app, but I'm also not upset with it by any means. I can't really comment on negatives to its security, since I have never experienced an issue. Review Source Michael J N. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great password generator and manager" December 20, 2019 5.0 It has given me peace of mind having randomly generated complex passwords for my accounts and helped me get out of the bad habit of reusing passwords. Thanks, KeePass! Pros I use this software every day to generate and save passwords for all of my online accounts. It is very easy to generate passwords that satisfy any complexity requirements. Cons It was somewhat complicated to configure online backup and synchronization so that my passwords are available across all of my devices. Review Source Guillermo R. security analyst Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All in one place" November 21, 2019 4.0 great tool overall for keeping safe your passwords, nowdays we have a lot of accounts and if good to have it in one place. Pros great app for saving your passwords, no only that but also usernames, url and many more information. It also create a strong password for you base on yours requirements Cons when shared with other team members meaning that if you have a shared account and you want to update any information in the database it need to be close by others members. Review Source CH Caleb H. Receptionist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The only password manager I reccomend." February 9, 2022 5.0 Pros Open source, continuously improved and secure password generator and identity storage solution. Cons Lack of online synchronisation and other QoL features - remedied by managing these things yourself, but not as 'pick up and go' as some competitors. Still, for the price of $0, it's hard to be beat. Alternatives considered [1Password](https://www.capterra.com/p/176113/1Password/)[LastPass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151988/LastPass/) Reason for choosing KeePass Free, open source and secure software without the bells and whistles that concern me from a security standpoint. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Active Director Administrator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A simple and lightweight credential storage application to get you started with managing passwords." March 19, 2018 4.0 Pros It's free, and it's a great start for managing usernames and passwords. Password database encryption is built in. Multiple OS support (Mac/Win/Linux) Password Entry History is very nice in case you need to know prior passwords or make a mistake submitting a password to an entry. Quick double-click shortcut for copying/pasting passwords from KeePass to other application text fields. It only saves the string in memory for a few seconds. A surprising amount of add-ons and plugins for browsers are available for KeePass, due to a high adoption rate of this product. Cons I am not certain, but two factor authentication integration would be a nice-to-have feature. I would like to see a KeePass offering that would allow me to access a single credential store on all of my endpoints machines. Review Source Yanick G. Président Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use it everyday" January 8, 2019 5.0 Pros What I like the most is that the software can create many database (in my case, one DB per costumer) so I can manage all costumers separately and share them only the information I want them to see via Dropbox folder share. Cons The only thing I'd like about this product is a way to sync over the cloud without having to sync via Dropbox or other cloud sharing application. Sync between all my PCs automaticly would be nice. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "El mejor software para guardar contraseñas " July 22, 2021 5.0 Muy recomendable. Lo seguiremos usando durante muchos años más. Pros Sin duda fue un gran descubrimiento. Keepass es un software sencillo, muy fácil de usar e intuitivo para guardar contraseñas en mi departamento. Solo tienes que recordar un contraseña y puedes almacenar cientas. Cons Quizás lo peor del software es que su interfaz es un poco anticuada y recuerda a los primeros programas de windows. Review Source Chris C. Administrative Support Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "KeePass review" May 1, 2019 4.0 Pros What I like most about this software is its functionality. Being able to use this software on my work computer and have it sync to the iPhone app has been very useful in my office. Cons What I like least about this is its interface. This isn't a big gripe with me, as I have known in the past that open source software tends to have a less than the best interface, but I knew that going into getting this software. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder / CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best password manager" May 12, 2020 5.0 It's super fast. Entering passwords, generating new, plenty of fields to enter anything and everything. It's actually one of the software that we will probably never change. Pros In short - everything. We've tried many different password managers but KeePass is faster and easier to use. Cons If you are using the same database on several computers it would be great to have a notification that DB is open somewhere else to avoid different versions and sync. Review Source BH Bart H. Sr Account Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keepass for private use" October 25, 2022 5.0 Very happy with the Keepass tool, I use it for private use and it's an important tool for me! Pros The features, free of use, password synchronization with other devices, way of use (easy), password generator, groups Cons The database is stored on the localmachine. Now a days it would be better to store it on the CLoud and I missed security audit logging Review Source Artemio E. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The app to store keys safely" December 3, 2021 5.0 Pros Ease of use, safe, is compatible with other applications and can be used both on desktop and mobile. Cons It has no cons, it is the best application on the market. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer System Engineer Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keepass is a great tool with a couple minor shortfalls" January 8, 2019 4.0 We have been able to keep things up to date and everyone one the same page with credentials. This has saved us more than once when someone is on vacation or something. Pros That application is simple and fast to get started with. The password generator is easy to use and allows for a secure set of passwords to be generated as needed. The database is easy to back up as well. Cons Multi user access is difficult at best without an add-on product. Review Source Emanuel P. Analist Support Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excelent tool, but localhost" March 25, 2021 5.0 In general very good, very easy, it has interesting features for automatically filling in the login and password from some keyboard shortcuts and also offers a field to store the access URL. Pros great tool for those who have many access credentials at work and want security for that. It is easy to use, efficient, very safe and functional Cons the only cons is that it is not in the cloud, so it is good for those who use the same machine every day. Review Source George S. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Absolutely must have utility" August 15, 2019 5.0 Pros I don't know what I would have done without KeePass. Out of curiosity, I counted and I'm managing over 500 passwords and credentials with KeePass both personal and business. Moreover, the software is open-source and it means as a programmer I can inspect the code. The app is available for mobiles and I can use the same file both on desktop and mobile. Cons I have not found any issues with this app. Review Source Similar Products Featured
