KeePass Password Safe Open Source Software Review
Do you have a hard time remembering your passwords?
Do you have the same password for all your applications?
I had a note pad with all my user names and passwords. As a matter of fact I had the same password for a lot of my log-ins. Well actually I had a few passwords with different variations of them for all my log-ins.
I have more than 40 different passwords to remember. I didn’t realize that I had that many. These include email accounts, online bank accounts, credit card accounts, Photobucket, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, auto responders, websites and a number of other types of online accounts.
My son said to me “you really need to get KeePass.” So I decided to check it out to see what it was all about.

thanks for sharing your review
Thanks for your comment Sheena.
I started using this earlier in the week, and I can’t decide if it’s helpful or annoying. I think I’d prefer just created a file on my computer or a Google doc and keep them all in one place on my own. The jury is still out, lol
DrSteve, the purpose is security. But I hear you. All this security stuff is a necessary annoyance. thanks for commenting.
I so need to get this.Never can remember my passwords lol.Thank you.
I never remember mine either Lisa. Thanks for the comment.
