KeePass is a free and open-source password management tool designed to securely handle all your passwords. It allows you to consolidate your credentials into a single database that is protected by a master password or a key file. This means you’ll only need to remember one master password or use the designated key file to access your entire password database. The information is safeguarded using top-tier encryption algorithms, namely AES and Twofish, ensuring robust protection for your data.
Not only is KeePass completely free, but it also holds OSI certification as an open-source application. This transparency enables users to review the complete source code and verify the proper implementation of its encryption methods.
