KeePass v 1.18 released

KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to 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 file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).

KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified).

Changelog

I used to use this before I went to Linux for most of my computing, about three years ago. Good to see them keep updating.

I believe it's KeePassX that's for Linux/BSD and Mac... but don't quote me on it unless I'm right.

@ gene: what about searching the forum before posting and posting in the right section?
KeePass is a security software and every new security software release is to be posted in Security Bullettin subsection as per rules

Sorry. It's been some time since I last posted in "Latest Releases" and did not realize there has been a change in rules.
