KeePass 2.21 released

Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your website's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, website, etc. Unimaginable.

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). For more information, see the features page

Is it really free?
Yes, KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source and check whether the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.

KeePass 2.21 has been released !


You can get it here: Download KeePass 2.21.

This is a stable release. It is recommended to upgrade from any previous 2.x version to 2.21.

KeePass 2.21 mainly features auto-type enhancements, support for more character encodings in various areas, many user interface improvements, and various other minor new features and improvements.

If you are using KeePass together with a port of KeePass and the port has problems with opening database files saved by KeePass 2.21, please read the page KeePass 1.24 and 2.20 Header Authentication.

Some LNGX translation files are now named differently. If you do not have to overwrite an existing file during updating your translation (i.e. the file name of the translation has changed), you have to select the new translation in 'View' -> 'Change Language'.

Hash sums and OpenPGP signatures for integrity checking are available. The .NET assemblies are signed, public keys for verifying are available.

For a comparison of the current KeePass 1.25 and 2.21, see: Editions Comparison.
