I use KeePass to keep track of the various usernames and passwords I use. I generally use the same password on a majority of sites and change it regularly — I know bad idea.

I like KeePass because it can also generate good passwords for you. Things like !)(*)@LLLJDLKSJDIIijsladksjiiisdjsldasjLKJl##33 if you like. Then you do not need to remember the password you just log into your keypass file and tell it to auto type or copy and paste like I do.

Are there any reasons to use it over a text pad? Yeah. Security. The database your files are held in is a KDBX file and is incrypted. I am told this is VERY secure. So secure that when you forget your master password you are screwed.

I keep my KDBX file in my dropbox so that it is on all of my machines. It is easy to get to and easy to open.

I just need to remember my master password soon.

Update…

I figured it out my keepass password :)
