About KeePass

KeePass is an open-source password management tool that enables businesses to store passwords in an encrypted database accessible via a single master key. It comes with a key file module, which allows users to set passwords in file formats and use them as a replacement or in addition to master passwords.

KeePass lets administrators sort or arrange passwords into groups/subgroups and modify them at a later date. It enables users to export/import password lists across various file formats including TXT, CSV and HTML. With its time fields functionality, users can keep track of passwords’ creation, last modification, last access and expiration. The tool lets businesses generate random passwords based on pre-defined output characters, facilitating data security.

KeePass provides plugins, which help businesses manage data synchronization, backup, transfer and more. The product is available for free and support is extended via documentation and phone.

KeePass is the free, open-source gold standard for managing your passwords and credentials

I have been using KeePass privately and at work for about 5 years now and I still keep finding new exciting features. I sync may passwords across multiple PCs and Android devices using Synology Drive for storing the database.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

No other product offers all features of KeePass including very well structured Password database, storage of files alongside Keys, Android integration, Autofill in multiple Webbrowsers and any other app you configure. It is FREE and most importantly open-source. This ensures that there are no backdoors and there is no "cloud" or other provider who may have access to or even accidentally leak your sensible data.

Cons:

It is a bit more complex to set-up initially, but after a short learning period of 1-2 months the benefits outweigh this entry-hurdly by far.

Reasons for choosing KeePass

Flexibility and storing files alongside keys in the database. Open Source solution preferred.

Reasons for switching to KeePass

Fantastic Credential/Password Software

I love this software, I hope it continues to be more accessible on other platforms but otherwise it's a key piece of software I use on my personal Windows machines as well as within my workplace.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

First of all the software is free which is fantastic for the developers, secondly the software is simple to use and secure. I can relax knowing my credentials for the hundreds of sites I use is stored somewhere safe and I can easily access the credentials/serial keys I need when I'm on my machine. There is also unofficial apps for other platforms which I have only just found out via their home website which is a bonus!

Cons:

I can't think of anything I least like about the software, it was due to not having an app on iOS/Android but it appears there is.

Reasons for switching to KeePass

Lastpass required a cost at the time which I wasn't happy to pay for.

The best offline password manager in the market

I have been utilizing KeePass for over a decade to store ALL THE INFORMATION related to every vendor at our business. It is by far the safest, easiest, and quickest way to store and manage usernames and passwords. I use it daily to access so much data beyond just usernames and passwords. Once you realize how easy it is to store and access different kinds of data with the program, you wont want to store the data anywhere else.

Functionality

Pros:

It stores your password offline (on your device, not in the cloud) , so you won't hear about your passwords being compromised from the latest hacking some website. It's a small lightweight piece of software that just works. The built-in hot keys for entering your passwords automatically works great for most websites and can be manually configured for stubborn websites where the login boxes are not otherwise detected. It can safety store your username, password, URL, PIN numbers, phone numbers, addresses, really any data you desire.

Cons:

You have to manually configure "Triggers" to backup the password database and synchronized it, if you want those to tasks automated.

Reasons for switching to KeePass

This product offers automatic username and password entry by using a simple hot key combination.

Best Password Vault & manager software

its very good software to store passwords, specially in digital works where we are using multiple websites, emails and office/work related stuff, and remembering all passwords and username along with URL/websites/banking etc is very difficult. Here keypass gives us solution where we can store our passwords so that we will never forget password details. Also as its completely offline solution thus our passwords are saved in database present of our laptop/desktop, so we can trust this software.

Pros:

1.) Easy installation and required very less space on disk. 2.) Software interface is very user friendly and easily understandable. 3.) It also predicts if our password is weak or strong. 4.) Provides encryption to password stored by encrypting the associated database. 5.) Customization of folders and sub containers along with search option is available. 6.) Import/export option is also available. 7.) Password database will be stored locally on local desktop/laptop so no point of password leak/hack online.

Cons:

I found this software pretty good as I am using this since 5 years, never faced any issue with Keepass so no cons from my end.

Reasons for choosing KeePass

First of all its keepass is freeware software so we don't have to pay for it, secondly its offline software so you can use it offline and its database is also created on local system so privacy and protection is good as compare to other software's which stores password database online or on cloud.

One Password for Everything

The number of login accounts to keep track of continues to grow, especially in a business setting. Each customer or supplier has their own page to interact with their systems. Having one central location for individual credentials is critical. It is much better than some systems of physical sticky notes or openly accessible text files.

Functionality

Pros:

The file-based storage format of KeePass was the most appealing feature. My information is not stored in some unknown location in the cloud and I have complete control over where it is. I can choose the cloud storage location that I want to have my passwords accessible anywhere. There are applications for desktop and mobile that can use the same file format. Syncing between file locations is painless.

Cons:

There haven't been any issues with this software so far.

Reasons for choosing KeePass

Looking for a non-cloud application to store passwords but would still allow the storage of the password file (in encrypted form) in a cloud environment.

Keepass Review

The product gets updated regularly and has a lot of security features. When you lock your computer keepass automatically locks as well if you set it to. You can also set it to lock if it hasn't been used in a specified amount of time. It has nice way of grouping information into folders. and allows you to sort them alphabetically.

Functionality

Pros:

My Favorite thing about the product other than it being open source is the fact that it is not web-based. This minimizes the risk of my data falling into the wrong hands due to a breach on the provider's end.

Cons:

It is difficult to get it to play nice with some web browsers. A lot of times I couldn't get auto fill to work right and had to rely on copy and paste.

Reasons for choosing KeePass

Keepass is an open-source product, so we could use it without incurring additional costs. It puts security in the user's hands, unlike other products that are largely dependent on the provider's environment being secure. This can be a bad thing for the less technically inclined but works for my use case.

Great functionality and usability for 0 cost!

We're using it as a secure internal password database, it's saved us from writing the passwords down in word files or on our computers which is very insecure. As we've got it on our online file server it's also accessible from any device, it makes connecting to routers a whole lot easier as all the information can be put into a single Keepass entry.

Functionality

Pros:

The software has the same functionality as a lot of other software I've tried but without the price tag, it's an amazing bit of kit when you consider it's free. The database itself is encrypted, it has the ability to generate secure passwords based on your preferences. It has a secure copy/paste function that deletes it from your clipboard after a certain amount of seconds.

Cons:

It can be annoying if you've saved changes and another user has the database open although this can be fixed by setting up the sync client to avoid this.

Reasons for choosing KeePass

It's free compared to the other products and has all the functionality that I need.

Pros:

1- Totally free. 2- Incredible number of supported plugins and extensions. 3- DB file (.kdbx) is compatible with third-party apps which runs on mobile platforms such as iOS and Android. 4- Easy searching and sorting. 5- Could export to TXT, HTML, XML, and CSV.

1- Can't centrally manage all user files. 2- GUI somehow looks outdated. 3- Can't auto-save passwords.

Reasons for choosing KeePass

We support open source, and KeePass is a perfect example to free open source ware.

Reasons for switching to KeePass

Because LastPass charges for password sharing, on the other hand, KeePass is free.

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.

Reasons for choosing KeePass

Free, open source and secure software without the bells and whistles that concern me from a security standpoint.
