Free, secure password manager

KeePass 2.46 is an open source password manager that helps users manage all passwords securely. Users can put all passwords into one file, then lock the file with a keyword or a key file. So, instead of memorizing a bunch of wordy keywords, you only need to memorize a single password or use a key file to securely open the file.

At the same time, the information in the encrypted file is encrypted with the most secure encryption algorithms, including AES and Twofish. Users can rest assured they will not lose their password.

KeePass is an open source application. Users can view the source code and check if the encryption methods are working. Besides, the attraction of this software is that it is completely free.
