Keychain For My Passwords

>> Keychain For My Passwords

I have many passwords and user names for open my software and internet services. From Yahoo until Google. Sure, I make them different from one to another to make them more secure. And I guess, it is very impossible if I have to remember them all. So, I was search the application that can help me to keep my entire of confidential information for me.

Finally, I found it yesterday. Because I want to save my money (I think everybody has the same way with me today), I want to find a freeware password manager application but it has a secure system and ease to use. Hmm, I almost forget, I want the application can run without install it first because I want to bring it in my USB drive so that I can open it everywhere. And I found Keepass Password Safe.

This application can fulfill my need to manage my passwords. You can download it on their download page. Their are providing 2 versions, version 1.xx and 2.xx. Although version 2.xx is a newer version but you need .NET Framework to run it. And each version is provide 2 model, Windows Installer EXE and ZIP Package.

If you plan to bring it in your USB drive, choose the ZIP Package because you don’t need to install it first. Just unzip it and run the keepass.exe file. To use this application is very easy (I am using the ZIP Package but the Installation mode has a same screen).

• For the first time,  you need to set your master password. Then you need to remember your master password only. You can also create your Key File, but I did not create it because I worry if the key file is damage, I can’t open it.
  
• After you create the password, you can entry your password and user name now. By default, Keepass gives you some default groups. But you can add it as your need. I suggest you to put your entries as its group, so you’re not confusing to find it later.
  
• To entry your user and password in Keepass is very easy, just click Edit -> Add Entry menu and type your entry in each field that asked. In the entry form, you can use the password generator to help you to create a new strong password (you can see at Quality bar to check your password quality).

I have a favorite feature that Keepass has, Keepass can help you to enter your user and password to current web form that you want filled. To make it happens just click Tools button in Entry form and then choose Auto-Type: Customize Sequence menu. Beside it you’ll get so many great features on Tools menu.
