Read the review of KeePass, one of the best password managers available for your PC. Know the features of this password protection software, go through its complete review and know what all this software has to offer to you.

KeePass password manager is for all of us who someway or the other have something to lose in case they lose their passwords. The passwords can be of your email accounts or even you banking login credentials. This software not only helps you in creating long passwords which are safer but helps you to manage them because obviously it is not easy to remember too many different long passwords.

KeePass is an password manager application which stores passwords in a databases that are encrypted using quite very secure encryption algorithms (AES and Twofish), which are practically unbreakable.

Basically by using this application you will be able to put all of your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. That means you only have to remember one single master password or else you can insert the key- disk in order to unlock the whole database to get access to all of your different passwords.

KeePass has got a lot of features which are quite impressive and because of all these features it has been preferred by a lot of people from all over the world. It is free to download and use and works on many different OS platforms like Android, Linux, iOS etc. which is the reason for its huge demand.

  1. KeePass has got optional multi-factor authentication to be make sure that only an authorized person is accessing the password details.

  2. The process of generating password is very flexible and easy to set an password.

  3. KeePass has got a lot of tools which can be used to enhance all the possible applications of this password manager.

  4. You can group all the entries in different categories as this application has got multi- level grouping entries.

  5. That is not all, KeyPass can also handle all the non-standard login sequences, and it has also got optional keylogger protection for your security. There are a lot of options for Plugins which have added some advanced features to this application.

  6. Many password managers are able to access the password through your browser and are fully captured with secure credentials, even though KeePass doesn't have the feature of automated capture of secure credentials, but still it can log into websites using any browser and also it can handle application passwords, which is quite impressive consudering that you are not paying for it. KeePass is also loaded with a lot of configuration options as well.

Problems with KeePass


KeePass is an free application for your computer, which means you do have to compromise a little bit in functionalities compared to the fully equipped password manager. Some of the faults of this tool are that it doesn't has automatic capture of login credentials, which quite be disheartening. This application doesn't comes with the guarantee of plugins safety, the user have to manually program non-standard login sequences. There are a number of settings which may put off some users also.

After going through all these features, KeePass will definitely suit you, and if you love to take control over all settings and if you are okay with a little manual work, then this application is for you and will work very well. But if you are looking for a password manager that automatically captures secure credentials, then sadly this tool is not for you.

Verdict for KeePass


KeePass is by far one of the best password managers and even after being free of cost, this application has got a lot of features and if you are an average user of such tools, then this application is definitely for you and I would like to rate KeePass with four out of five stars.
