Review

This is official description

Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your website's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, website, etc. Unimaginable.
KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).
 
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 1.1

KeePass Password Safe is a simple and straightforward password manager that enables you to keep your passwords safe from intruders and other dangers. The application allows you to have all your passwords in one single database which is locked with one master key or a key-disk, so you will only have to remember one password or just insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. For more security, this database is encrypted using the most secure encryption algorithms which are AES and Twofish. Version 1.1 has several improvements and bugs fixes that include a more attractive user interface, new checkboxes in the advanced options, an extended and updated CHM manual, the option to automatic random password generation for new entries, an added option to exclude backup entries in quick searches, among many others. Moreover, now you cannot enter invalid dates/times any more.
The program is extremely user friendly and is perfect for forgetful people, since you only have to remember one single password.
  • Free.
  • Easy to use.
  • Nice and intuitive user interface.
  • Strong security.
  • Does not support Vista.

What's new in version 2.1

New Features:
- When searching for a string containing a whitespace character, KeePass now splits the terms and reports all entries containing all of the terms (e.g. when you search for "Forum KeePass" without the quotes, all entries containing both "Forum" and "KeePass" are reported);
the order of the terms is arbitrary;
if you want to search for a term containing whitespace, enclose the term in quotes.
- When searching for a term starting with a minus ('-'), all entries that do not contain the term are reported (e.g. when you search for "Forum -KeePass" without the quotes, all entries containing "Forum" but not "KeePass" are reported).
Improvements / Changes:
- After performing a quick-find, the search text is now selected.
- Improved quick-find deselection performance.
- On Unix-like systems, command line parameters prefixed with a '/' are now treated as absolute file paths instead of options.
- Improved IPC support on Unix-like systems.
- Locked databases can now be dismissed using the close command.
- Invalid target windows (like the taskbar, own KeePass windows, etc.) are not shown in the auto-type target window drop-down combobox anymore.
Bugfixes:
- Last modification time is now updated when restoring an older version of an entry.
- When duplicating an entry, the UUIDs of history items are now changed, too.

Comment: Please make KeePass and KeePass 2 distinct from another. KeePassX for example is only compatible with KeePass. There's even distinct updates for both versions to this day!
