KeePass Password Safe is a small but useful program that helps you store all your passwords in a secured environment.
Since the tool is portable, installation is not necessary. You can simply put KeePass Password Safe on a removable drive and always have it with you when you're on the go. Also, your registry keys remain intact.
The interface of the program is plain and simple. You can create a new database by setting up a master password.
So, you can add a new entry, by selecting a group and icon, as well as adding the title, user name, password, URL, notes, expiration date and attachment. Plus, you can insert field references.
In addition, you can copy the user name or password, perform auto type, duplicate or edit an entry, use a search function (for the database or selected group), as well as rearrange the list, add a new group and subgroup (you can even choose an icon for it).
Furthermore, you can configure database settings when it comes to the encryption algorithm, number of key encryption rounds, default user name for new entries and database color.
Moreover, you can import and export information (e.g. CSV, TXT), lock the workspace, generate a random password (by using a character set or pattern), create TAN entries via a wizard, view expired entries, get plugins, change the interface language, and more.
The software takes up a low amount of system CPU and memory, and can guide you to a complete online help file with snapshots. We haven't come across any errors during our tests and strongly recommend KeePass Password Safe Portable to all users.
What's New in This Release:
New Features:
· Added option to use Windows' CNG/BCrypt API for key transformations (about 50% faster than the KeePass built-in key transformation code; by increasing the amount of rounds by 50%, you'll get the same waiting time as in 1.15, but the protection against dictionary and guessing attacks is raised by a factor of 1.5; option enabled by default; only Windows Vista and higher).
· Completely new update checking system that now also supports checking for new plugin versions.
· Added warning when trying to open a KDBX file created by KeePass 2.x (with hint about how to migrate from 2.x to 1.x).
· Added 'KeeAutoNewDbBasePath' and 'KeeAutoNewDbBaseName' configuration options (to specify the default location where the database file will be stored in mini mode).
· Added advanced option to immediately delete TAN entries after using them.
· Added '-minimize' command line option.
· Added '-registerfileext' and '-unregisterfileext' command line options to register/unregister the KDB file...
