KeePass

Open Source by Crypto-Gram | Link to website

KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish). Also portable app: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/keepass_portable .

Yeah, well, I wouldn't bother on a Mac with Keepass 2.14. It was a bear to install as it was clashing with CrossOver. Had to install Mono.

The end result? An ugly, barely usable application, where the keyboard is dysfunctional - CTRL + N, or Mac Command + N doesn't work and neither does a simple Tab move me from one field to another. Then I mistyped the password matching bit and it would till insist there was an error, even after I totally retyped both password fields with simple values to test. Not much use trying any further.

Currently using PasswordSafe, that's why I have CrossOver, but keyboard bindings are the Achilles heel of running Windows programs under OSX and KeePass is no better than PasswordSafe.

My requirements would be: Windows, OSX and Linux. PasswordSafe in Java would be nice, but it isn't maintained.

No offense to the programmer, this is great stuff... on Windows, not on Macs and likely not on Linux either.

The most essential application that I have on my computer (and every one of my devices including Blackberry). Fantastic software, great developer and it is Open Source.

KeePass 2 works on Linux through Mono, but it is not very stable.

Very nice, but they really need to sort out the mess between 1.x and 2.x - they forked it internally but used version numbers to indicate the fork. Both forks are still being developed as far as I can tell. Database incompatibility between the two is a pain. KeypassX for *Nix only opens 1.x databases.

A great tool for storing passwords.

This is Windows-only. for Linux, you can use KeepassX.
