Are you concerned over your passwords?  If so, don’t worry as there are many free password managers that are available, one such application is KeePass.  It is a free open source password manager that helps you to manage your passwords in a secure manner. Your passwords are secured in one database, which is locked with a master key or a key file. So you only need 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). KeePass is free and open source (OSI certified).

KeePass

The following updates and changes have been undertaken in this latest version of Keepass:

# New Features:

* The estimated password quality (in bits) is now displayed on the quality progress bar, and right of the quality progress bar the length of the password is displayed.
* Pattern-based password generator: the ‘^’ character now removes the next character from the current custom character set (for example, [a^y] contains all lower-case alphanumeric characters except ‘y’).
* In the cases where Windows would display outdated thumbnail and peek preview images for the main window, KeePass now requests Windows to use a static bitmap instead (showing only the KeePass logo).
* While saving a database, a shutdown block reason is now specified.
# Improvements:
* Improved input control focusing in the master key dialog after displaying a validation error message.
* When duplicating an entry, the last modification time is now copied from the source entry.
* Improved window message relaying when KeePass is minimized to tray.
* Upgraded installer.
* Upgraded to Boost libraries version 1.56.0.
* Various code optimizations.
* Minor other improvements.
# Bugfixes:
* Key provider plugins are now remembered correctly (if the option ‘Remember key sources’ is enabled).
