KeePass Password Safe

I am hooked on that program. If it did not work for some reason I would be totally lost.

pparks1 · 07 Jul 2010

Yeah, we use that at work and it's a great application.

MWRed · 07 Jul 2010

I use it also. I never used to use anything other than my memory, but I started to forget all the different passwords for the billion email accts, websites, and stuff.
It works great.

Of all the troubles that users expierence with memory for computers, the problems I have with my own personal memory dwarf those problems. Key Pass has helped me immensely.
