KeePass is an easy-to-use, powerful tool that helps you store and manage all your passwords in a highly secure database. You can put both that database and the KeePass program on a USB memory stick and carry it with you. The database is protected by a 'master password' that you create. This password is also used to encrypt the entire contents of the database. You can store your existing passwords in KeePass or have it generate one for you. KeePass doesn't require any prior configuration or specific installation instructions. It's ready to go when you are!
