KeePass

Keepass review

Pros:

This is a great free tool for password management. Emphasis on free.

Cons:

I can't really complain as it's free, however the UI good use a refresh.

Own your secrets database - self-managed key management solution

Comments: I'm using KeePass for over 5 years now and it has been great experience. It can be easily customized with available plugins. The database is easily backed-up and accessible via different channels.

Pros:

You own the password database which is password-protected and encrypted.

Cons:

It's not integrated with web browsers so not as convenient as some cloud tools with web browser plugins.

KeePass Experience

Comments: I have used very little of its functions but do feel very conficent that my password are secure since I have started to use it.

Pros:

It is free to use. It can generate new passwords if you choose to use that function.

Cons:

I don't like the look. It is "cold & unfriendly" and look old. Sometimes I would rather just go back and use a spreadsheet. It is always asksing me to download updates. Would be nice if it would do it automatically.

KeePass For Password Management

Comments: It is my go-to password manager and rolling out to our entire organization. I've used it for years, and in my newest position have certain responsibilities over cybersecurity, so distributing a password manager to help encourage users to maintain complex passwords is essential.

Pros:

It's easy to use, simple to install, you can share a key database across devices so that you can get to your list from anywhere.

Cons:

It's really difficult to find flaws in a free tool that offers extensive functionality for storing and managing passwords. I honestly ycan't think of anything I like least.

Once you use KeePass, there's no going back!

Comments: KeePass makes it possible to store the passwords (database) in-premise. This makes it possible for us to secure our passwords with the present infrastructure without second guessing the levels of security that is offered. Since we can implement our own cloud storage, all passwords are always a click away whether online or offline; desktop or mobile. We are never going back to another password manager ever!

Pros:

It has never been easier to use a password manager before we started using KeePass. On the closed-source platforms, the per-user fee kept going up with each additional user. Over time, we've even lost access to one of our accounts. This is where KeePass has shined for us. Keeping the database local has helped solve so many of the issues that we otherwise have to deal with while using other password managers. All of this while being completely open source? Easily the best decision that we've ever made.

Cons:

While using a single database in a multi-user, there is always a chance that one user could over the changes made by another user. But, there are plenty of extensions available to add/remove functionality. In our environment, we regularly save versions, thereby securing our own data.
