Ok... You got me convinced!
I have just changed all my important passwords to secure passwords, generated by KeePass.
I'm very happy with KeePass. When i use it, i get that good vibe, as when i can notice that things were thought through and nothing as left at chance.
I specially like the fact that it has clickable fields for each entry. In the main view, where you can see the several entries, the fields "username", "password" and "notes" can be clicked and will copy their contents to the clipboard,
cleaning the clipboard 10 seconds after. The "URL" field is also clickable, and will open the specified url.
Another important feature: when you change the password for something, that entry is copied, and stored under "backup", so that you won't loose the previous password.
I also like how it has extensive options on security behaviour, so that you can be as paranoid as you like!
(i mean, having it lock itself on each 5 seconds of use looks like a bit of overkill to me, but.. oh, well...)
Now, for the missing features:
Passwords on the move! This method allows you to have secure passwords for everything, and stil be able to access them really fast. BUT, this way you won't have access to them when you aren't on your computer.
So, i think it misses a fSekrit + uploader kind of thing. There should be a way to upload all your passwords (or only some selected ones) to an internet server, in an encrypted way, but such that won't need any special program to access it, which means... fSekrit!!
Still, 9.9 out of 10
(it'd get 11 out of 10 if it had that last mentioned feature
)
Thanks josh, for this great finding!
