KeePass Password Manager

I wrote an article some time ago about multiple platform password managers. At the time I talked about PasswordSafe and Password Gorilla. While both of these are really good password managers that work on Linux, Windows and OSX…Matt Neely talked about KeePass at the NEO InfoSec Forum last week and how KeePass is probably the best password manager available.

What is really cool about KeePass is that you can use it on just about anything including Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices. Having a password manager on the Blackberry just about sold me and I have yet to try it, however, what did sell me was the KeePass port called KeePassX for Linux and OSX! I downloaded and installed it on my Mac and it is way faster then the old Password Gorilla. The features are really great to with automatic clearing of your clipboard, a nice easy to navigate interface and a password expiration system. My only gripe was that I had to load up the Windows version to import my PasswordSafe formatted database file for use in the OSX version. The Windows version has a plugin you can download which will automatically import your database file from PasswordSafe. There is no PasswordSafe import plugin for OSX currently. Other then that, I am converted and love it!
