What do you like best about KeePass?

I like that there is a method of storing the database on my own pc/dropbox account rather than on someone's cloud service. I'd rather have the peace of mind knowing how I'm securing it rather than some other company. The software is easy to use, simple and of course free. I'm achieving greater security by having this application installed on my pc and phone by allowing it to come up with lengthy passwords instead of things I need to remember. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeePass?

Thus far, I can't say that I don't like anything about it. It does what it should and doesn't pretend to do other things it doesn't need too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KeePass:

If you are looking for something simple that just does what a password manager should, then this is the product for you. It's not pretending to be something that it isn't and by doing that, they are providing a product that simply works and has not had issues since the day I installed it. It's nice with the categorizations it allows you to setup and different icons for different types of logins to quickly differentiate between accounts. This software definitely allows you to be more secure in the workplace and personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KeePass solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to have all of my passwords different and of great length. I have the database stored on a dropbox account so I can share the DB with the keepass app on my phone as well as my pc. Greater security is definitely being achieved with this application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Description

KeePass is a free, open-source password manager that helps you manage your passwords in a secure way. It allows you to store all your passwords and login data in a single encrypted database, protected by a master password, a key file, or both. This means you only need to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the entire database. KeePass is highly secure with strong encryption algorithms such as AES and Twofish to ensure that your information is protected.The password manager is highly customizable and user-friendly, supporting various plugins and extensions to enhance its functionality. It also offers strong random password generation, searching and sorting capabilities, and is portable, meaning it can be run off a USB stick without installation. KeePass supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, with unofficial ports available for iOS, Android, and other platforms.

What do you like best about KeePass?

KeePass has become my go-to solution for secure password management, and as a user, there are a few features that I appreciate. Firstly, I really value the fact that KeePass is an offline solution, ensuring that my sensitive data stays within my control at all times. It seamlessly integrates into my backup routine, allowing me to incorporate it into my overall data protection strategy. The absence of a built-in cloud sync option is actually a benefit for me as it grants me the freedom to choose my preferred cloud sync and backup providers. I can also implement additional encryption solutions to further fortify my password database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeePass?

I fine the implementation of plugins lacking. Unfortunately, there is no straightforward way to determine the trustworthiness of individual plugins. Consequently, I choose to err on the side of caution and refrain from using any of them. I believe it would greatly enhance the user experience if KeePass could provide a more reliable system for verifying the authenticity and security of plugins. This would instill greater confidence in users looking to extend the functionality of KeePass while maintaining the highest standards of security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KeePass solving and how is that benefiting you?

By operating offline, Keepass ensures that our password database remains under our complete control, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches. Moreover, the ability to seamlessly integrate KeePass into personal backup routines offers peace of mind, guaranteeing the availability and recoverability of our essential password information. The absence of a built-in cloud sync option is a blessing in disguise, as it grants us the freedom to choose trusted cloud sync and backup providers that align with our specific needs. Additionally, this allows us to implement additional encryption solutions, providing an extra layer of protection that complements our security preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KeePass?

KeePass is free to use, without hidden costs or subscription fees.. KeePass uses AES encryption to ensure your passwords are secure and protected from unauthorized access. KeePass stores passwords in an encrypted database, which can only be unlocked with a master password or key file.

What do you dislike about KeePass?

The only thing I do not like in KeePass is that, Unlike some other password managers, it does not offer automatic syncing across devices, so you'll need to transfer your password database between devices manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KeePass solving and how is that benefiting you?

KeePass helps me to store and manage all of my passwords, including online accounts, credit cards, and other sensitive information. KeePass can generate strong passwords for me, which can help me to protect myself from password-guessing attacks. I can customise KeePass with plugins and themes to extend its functionality and improve its usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KeePass?

Confidentiality is a critical factor for any developers that we have right now. Either if we are sharing our screen and trying to log in to some platform but forgot the password or you do not want to share the password that you are typing to the counterpart, then KeePass plays a major role in that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeePass?

The passwords are all maintained locally, which is good, but if the same can be held in the cloud, we can use it across all systems, and we need access to any of the platforms where KeePass be required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is KeePass solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I share my screen to the customers, there was a case, I had to enter my password to the platform that I use, there KeePass helps me in maintaining the confidentiality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When working in a group team, Keepass does not have a cloud version where we can refer to the same file in cloud storage. So sometimes it is difficult to manage one single file for all the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
