KeePass Classic Edition Description

Store passwords in a secure database locked with master key or key disk

Strong Security

* KeePass supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, Rijndael) and the Twofish algorithms to encrypt its password databases.
* Both of these ciphers are regarded as very secure by the cryptography community. Banks are using these algorithms for example, too.
* Even if you would use all computers in the world to attack one database, decrypting it would take longer than the age of the universe.
* Even quantum computers won't help that much. The algorithms are symmetric so its complexity would be reduced a bit, anyway, the sun will go nova before you have decrypted the database.
* The complete database is encrypted, not only the password fields. So your usernames, notes, etc. are protected, too.
* SHA-256 is used as password hash. SHA-256 is a 256-bit cryptographically secure one-way hash function. Your master password is hashed using this algorithm and its output is used as key for the encryption algorithms.
* In contrast to many other hashing algorithms, no attacks are known yet against SHA-256.
* Protection against dictionary and guessing attacks: by transforming the final master key very often, dictionary and guessing attacks can be made harder.
* In-Memory Passwords Protection: Your passwords are encrypted while KeePass is running, so even when the operating system caches the KeePass process to disk, this wouldn't reveal your passwords anyway.
* Protected In-Memory Streams: When loading the inner XML format, passwords are encrypted using a session key.
* Security-Enhanced Password Edit Controls: KeePass is the first password manager that features security-enhanced password edit controls. None of the available password edit control spies work against these controls. The passwords entered in those controls aren't even visible in the process memory of KeePass.

Multiple User Keys

* One master password decrypts the complete database.
* Alternatively you can use key files. Key files provide better security than master passwords in most cases. You only have to carry the key file with you, for example on a floppy disk, USB stick, or you can burn it onto a CD. Of course, you shouldn't lose this disk then.
* For even more security you can combine the above two methods: the database then requires the key file and the password in order to be unlocked. Even if you lose your key file, the database would remain secure.
* Additionally, you can lock the database to the current Windows user account. The database can then only be opened by the same person who created it.

Portable and No Installation Required, Accessibility

* KeePass is portable: it can be carried on an USB stick and runs on Windows systems without being installed.
* Installer packages are available, too, for the ones who like to have shortcuts in their Windows start menu and on the desktop.
* KeePass doesn't store anything on your system. The program doesn't create any new registry keys and it doesn't create any initialization files (INI) in your Windows directory. Deleting the KeePass directory (in case you downloaded the binary ZIP package) or using the uninstaller (in case you downloaded the installer package) leaves no trace of KeePass on your system.
* KeePass runs, without downloading any additional libraries, on Windows 98, 98SE, ME, NT, 2000, XP (Home & Pro, 32-bit & 64-bit), 2003, Vista and 7. No .NET framework is required.
* KeePass requires the Microsoft .NET Framework (which can be downloaded for free at Microsoft's website) or Mono. Windows Vista and higher already include the .NET framework; for Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP you need to install it, if it's not installed already. With Mono, KeePass also runs on Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, etc.
* Ports for other systems like Linux, Mac OS X, PocketPC, Smartphone, etc. are available! See the downloads page.
* Accessibility: KeePass features an advanced option that explicitly optimizes the user interface for screen readers.

Export To TXT, HTML, XML and CSV Files

* The password list can be exported to various formats like TXT, HTML, XML and CSV.
* The XML output can be easily used in other applications.
* The HTML output uses cascading style sheets (CSS) to format the table, so you can easily change the layout.
* The CSV output is fully compatible with most other password safes like the commercial closed-source Password Keeper and the closed-source Password Agent, also the CSVs can be imported by spreadsheet applications like Microsofts Excel or OpenOffice's Calc.
* Many other file formats are supported through KeePass plugins.

Import From Many File Formats

* KeePass uses the common CSV export format of various passwords safes like Password Keeper and Password Agent. Exports from these programs can be easily imported to your KeePass databases.
* KeePass can parse and import TXT outputs of CodeWalletPro, a commercial closed-source password safe.
* KeePass can import TXT files created by Bruce Schneier's Password Safe v2.
* Out of the box, KeePass supports importing more than 25 formats (see Help: Import).
* Many other file formats are supported through KeePass plugins.
