How To Manage Passwords | KeePass

http://pc-addicts.com - If you are like me, you have way too many different passwords to remember. I have used KeePass for years, and the nice thing about it, is it works cross-platform in my environments (Windows & Linux).

I'm weary of using this after my database got corrupted within a week. Is this a rare occurrence? I am using Efficient Password Manager at the moment which has been solid but willing to give this a try again.

@TwoLeggedTriceratops Oh wow, I never had any probs with my database. The good news is... I back everything up nightly, so I can always revert back to one of the backups in case something happens.

[TwoLeggedTriceratops]

@PCAddictsLive Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try it again and good call on backing up the db, something I should've done.

@TwoLeggedTriceratops No problem... check out a recent video I just put out not long ago on backups, etc... shows how I have all my desktops and servers backing up nightly, automatically (I don't have to mess with it).

Your master password is too short :/

[PCAddictsLive]

@Jarzka1990 Nah... it's complicated so that sort of makes up for it lol... I should probably change it though.

Thx

@mettta88 I use KeePass 2.15 (Installer EXE for Windows) - the classic is for the older versions, but I think the Pro version can now connect to the old versions as well as the new ones.

Hi, how do you know which version to download, professional or classic? Appreciate your opinion.

Does KeePass work on Mac? If not can you tell me one that works for Mac?
