I'm always wondering, about this sort of software, how good the developers are; security is easily compromised by little accidents. Not to say that PasswordSafe is guaranteed perfect either of course; but it started out as a giveaway from Bruce Schneier's Counterpane Security, so I believe it has been looked at fairly carefully by good security people. I could try to look over keepass myself -- but I'm not a first-class security expert. Still, definitely worth considering the switch. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
