Product Review – KeePass Password Safe
Aug 10th, 2009 by Jyll
I have way too many passwords to manage. When I was on the PalmOS platform, I used DataShield. It did what it was supposed to do and I became really dependent upon it.
When I switched to Windows Mobile, I tried several applications and settled on Ilium Software’s eWallet. Again, nothing wrong with it – it helped me keep my PC and Windows Mobile device synchronized.
When I wanted to expand that to my Ubuntu system, I was out of luck with my current solution. That is, until I found out about KeePass. Not only does it work on my Windows Mobile device, but my PC, and my Ubuntu system! And – I can carry around a copy on my PortableApps USB drive.
KeePass is free, lightweight, and easy to use. I was able to import my eWallet data as well as the saved passwords in Firefox. The available plugins add so much value to the system. My favorite plugin is KeePassSync. It allows me to synchronize my datafile will all of my installations via the cloud. Very convenient!
KeePass is a must have application in my book!
