KeePass is a password manager that helps you store and 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-disk. You need only remember one single master password to unlock the whole database, which is encrypted using AES and Twofish algorithms.
The program includes a strong automatic password generator, expire dates, customized icons and categories, etc.
Note: Since V2.x requires the .NET framework, we only track changes for V1.x for the database.
Alternatively, KeePass Password Safe Portable and X-KeePass are also available.

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.
it's not crossover compatible, try password gorilla if you need flexibility.
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!
I have been using this now for about 2 years, best ever,
Great program - use it for all my passwords, plus personal stuff like credit cards, etc.
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*.

but i dunno what about http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1479&highlight=keepass
Notes on the developer's site at http://keepass.info/devstatus.html explain why "KeePass 1.x will continue to be supported indefinitely."
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 ;)
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."
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.
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
Does anybody have the link for the J2ME keepass?
The link on the site only leads to information not download
Nobody - now you can download KeePassJ2ME from http://keepassserver.info/
Cant open a .kdb file with KeePass! Any suggestions!
I use TreeDBnotes Pro (Passwords manager) http://www.mytreedb.com/treedbnotes_pro.html see this link
Great piece of software; been using it daily for six months now. Many thanks to the authour(s).
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.

Been using this program since early 2007 and don't know how I could do without. Truly a grand piece of art!
This is my favorite password manager. I've been using it for 2 years.
I was using PortableApps version for quite some time.
But have recently switched to v2 because i use this mainly on my Notebook and .Net is not a problem for me.
I used to store my Usernames and Passwords in a text file, but this app. is great.
Thanks to the author for making this free :)
This is one of my most utilized apps. on my Notebook.
V1.19b
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.
