General information about KeePass

KeePass is a free, open-source, light-weight and easy-to-use password safe for Windows.

The programs key-features:

• Store passwords in a highly encrypted database (AES/Rijndael encrypted, SHA-256 as password hash)
• A database consists of one file that can be transferred from one computer to another easily.
• KeePass supports password groups, so you can sort your passwords
• Drag-n-Drop passwords into other windows.
• Export password list to TXT, HTML, XML or CSV files.
• Print password list.
• Fast copy password or user name to the Windows clipboard.
• Searching in password database is possible.
• KeePass can be translated into other languages very easily. Currently German and English are available.
• A strong random password generator (you can define the possible output characters)
• It's free and you have full access to its source code!

Installation / un-installation

KeePass doesn't need to be installed. Just unpack the archive you downloaded and it's runnable.

KeePass doesn't install anything, so no registry entries or initialization files are left on your computer when you delete the directory of KeePass.

Compatible operating systems

KeePass runs on all Windows systems available on the market:

• Windows 95/98/ME
• Windows NT 4.0
• Windows 2000
• Windows XP
• Windows 2003
