Keep And Use Your Passwords Safe And Effectively Using KeyPass

KeyPass - icon We nowadays have many accounts and storing them needs to be safe and handy. Some usually use the same password for all accounts, it’s so dangerous and all hackers love it. While others keep these confidential data in a text file and it could be easily caught by strangers. The smart way is to use a password manager which can keep all your passwords and secret information in one safe place. Give it a shot and use it for some days, you might love KeyPass. You may store, generate randomly, encrypt, backup your passwords easily. The impressive feature of KeyPass is that you can get your passwords via a popup menu (I believe it is a safer way instead of coping the password onto Clipboard which might be captured by vicious keyloggers).
