Looks like KeyPass, is named KeyPass, but is not... oops, I can't read... sorry

[Hirudin]

What gives with this:
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/KeyPass/1027267716/1

When I saw this I thought the worst. Something along the lines of: they make some program that looks like keypass, pass it off as the real maccoy, and steal all our sh*t...

Anyone have any alternate theories?

Similar but not quite the same:


KeyPass (shareware):


KeePass (free open source):


When the look is similar and so is the name, it is easy to become confused.

They're not the same at all. I use KeyPass and it's much better than KeePass. Not sure how anyone could confuse them...although I often see people mistakenly referring to the latter as KeyPass too often. It's kind of like how no one on the internet seems to know how to spell definitely.

Nighted,

I use KeyPass and it's much better than KeePass.

Please, could you expand on that?

Hirudin,

Did you see that KeePass has just been updated to 1.07?

Correction: KeePass has just been updated to 4.5.4...

You meant KeyPass right??

I'll just quote myself here:

OK I'll really try to get this right...

Keepass - the free, open-source, light-weight and easy-to-use password manager
Current version is 1.07 or 2.02 alpha

KeyPass - a shareware versatile password manager that types your passwords for you!
Is at version 4.5.4 and costs $29.95


Part of the confusion is that a Google search for Keypass brings up KeePass as result 1!


Also a Google for Keep Ass finds this useful "Hidden Camera Detector, which Helps Keep Your Naked Ass Off The Internet"

[Hirudin]

They're both KeyPass though aren't they?

The free one will also insert usernames and passwords for you. Setup your passwords like this:

Put the cursor into the first field you want filled out, "Username" in this case, and hit the Auto-Type Hotkey (Ctrl + Alt + A by default) and it'll fill in the form and hit enter.

I use this at least 10 times a day...

They're both KeyPass though aren't they?

No, they are 2 entirely different applications.

[Hirudin]

I can't tell what is hilarious sarcasm and what's suppose to be serious.

What I mean, is they are both spelled the same, with the same case. Capital "K" and "P" lowercase "ey" and "ass".

[Josh]

spelled the same? KeePass != KeyPass last I checked.

[Hirudin]

Oh wow...

I'm not smart... 

So, it takes me 6 people telling me that they're not spelled the same, sue me.

[mitzevo]

They're not the same at all. I use KeyPass and it's much better than KeePass.

I too, would like to know why you think KeyPass is better than KeePass 

[Lashiec]

mitzevo, stop doing thread necromancy of password managers threads!

And what is a "Kee"?
