 Portable Fan: This is the most intuitive program for keeping passwords and automatically entering them in for you at the touch of a hotkey. I've been using this thing for a year or so and it's great. There are some awesome new features (http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=418232&group_id=95013) if anyone is interested. [2006-09-27 19:30]

 [r4]: Same as above - I've been using it since version 1.03 and still, it's just what I need! Password generator and expiration reminder are invaluable. [2006-09-28 02:51]

 crosser: it's not crossover compatible, try password gorilla if you need flexibility. [2006-10-04 02:03]

 weblarg.com: I've been using since 1.03, and it's hands down the best password management utility out there. And I've tried more than I care to remember! [2006-10-16 05:21]

 moebob22: I have been using this now for about 2 years, best ever, [2006-10-24 21:02]

 sushiaddict: Great program - use it for all my passwords, plus personal stuff like credit cards, etc. [2007-01-19 15:05]

 John L. Galt: Been using this as my PWM after using another, shareware alternative before that - it has some issues here and there, especially in Vista, but I still love it and use it - I have found workarounds for the Vista issues, (mainly autotype) and continue to use it.

The new 2.0 Alpha seems to be a jump away from the support for cross-platforms, as it requires .NET, but KeePass was *always* touted as a Windows - based solution first and foremost - all others are maintained by third party developers. Let's hope that someone will find a way to port the 2.x series to a fully portable app as well, For I would hate to look for a new solution *yet again*. [2007-03-19 20:44]

 Simon.T: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/keepass_portable

but i dunno what about http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1479&highlight=keepass [2007-03-20 15:07]

 Foot: Notes on the developer's site at http://keepass.info/devstatus.html explain why "KeePass 1.x will continue to be supported indefinitely." [2007-04-01 00:18]

 fenixproductions: There are few version of this software which no one knows:
KeePass - for Windows,
KeePassX - for GNU/Linux,
KeePass J2ME - for mobile devices.

Each mentioned app works with the same database file format. It is very simple to have KeePass everywhere you want. I am so geek that I keep 2 versions of it on my USB (win / linux) and one inside my mobile phone ;) [2007-07-20 01:00]

 Spongebob: Do we really need the portableapps version?
There's this zip version on the website, it says:

"Download this ZIP package and unpack it to your favorite location (USB stick, ...). KeePass runs without any additional installation and won't store any settings outside the application directory." [2007-09-03 00:20]

 linuxamp: Spongebob, I just use the zip version + pstart. The portable apps version is designed to integrate with the portable apps suite, a launcher created by portableapps.com. Portableapps.com pushes their brand through their launcher and splash screens (marketing). If I can find a portable app without their splash screen I use it. [2007-09-03 14:31]

 Bobart: The Portable Apps version puts it in their own folder structure and makes it easy to use with their app launcher. In addition, their launcher makes the last used directory setting truly portable.


linuxamp, almost every launcher from PortableApps.com allows you to use an INI file to disable the splash screen. For more details look in .\KeePassPortable\Other\KeePassPortableSource\Readme.txt [2007-09-04 04:25]

 Nobody: Does anybody have the link for the J2ME keepass?
The link on the site only leads to information not download [2007-10-16 07:20]

 Naomaru: Nobody - now you can download KeePassJ2ME from http://keepassserver.info/ [2007-10-23 12:17]

 Smith: Cant open a .kdb file with KeePass! Any suggestions! [2007-10-24 11:23]

 Serj: I use TreeDBnotes Pro (Passwords manager) http://www.mytreedb.com/treedbnotes_pro.html see this link [2008-04-27 10:41]

 Great program!: Great piece of software; been using it daily for six months now. Many thanks to the authour(s). [2008-04-28 02:51]

 Lo: John L. Galt says : I have found workarounds for the Vista issues, (mainly autotype)

In Vista, It remove the second character of the Username (no idea why) but John if you have a workaround, I'll be definitely interested.

 Infestedtassadar-X17: Been using this program since early 2007 and don't know how I could do without. Truly a grand piece of art! [2009-08-05 05:48]

 Mike: This is my favorite password manager. I've been using it for 2 years. [2009-09-10 15:51]

 31337r: version 1.16 out. [2009-10-24 14:33]

For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
