I used a program called 'PINS' for years and years, but eventually I decided that I needed something with a few more features. After trying a huge number of PW managers, and discovering none of them were very good, or suitable, I came across this OpenSource offering. Man alive, this was a find indeed. This app is loaded with features; you can organise pws into groups and subgroups, assign group icons, set up auto paste functions, generate secure passwords, etc. and securely protect your pw database. You can even use a keyfile to increase security!
This really is a fantastic piece of free software. It knocks the payware offerings I tried out into a cocked hat.
Highly recommend this software. I suggest that you spend 20 minutes reading the manual first however. Although most things are intuitive, you will get a better idea of the capabilities of the software, and you'll also realize what a great piece of kit you're getting for nothing. Good luck and enjoy.

I liked nearly everything about KeePass. It's a smooth, easy-to-use, full-featured program in most aspects. However, printouts can be problematic in that text gets cut off the right edge of pages if you have long URLs or notes, in which case you have to make bothersome adjustments, such as shrinking the font size (landscape mode is almost a must). This might not affect all users, but in my case to get a complete sheet I needed to shrink fonts so much that it became difficult for me to read the pages. KeePass might want to study alternative printing layouts to remedy this potential problem. Also, I wasn't able to import CSV data (not even exported CSV data from KeePass that I then reimported); this might be my misunderstanding of the instructions, however. Other than that, I was completely content with everything else about the software.
