KeePass: Manage your passwords safely and freely.

At present, we have to remember too many passwords, due to registration on any page, social network, mail, bank accounts, desktop applications, mobile phones, etc. in short, there are many keys for our head to remember them all.

Perhaps you are one of those who think that the best solution is to set the same password for all accounts and case closed, but the truth is that this could be a serious serious mistake. If you use a single password, and someone manages to hack it, you are exposed to third parties accessing all your accounts (mail, social networks, applications) just knowing a key, and what seemed like a solution before, actually became a big problem. That is why a strong and unique password is recommended to maintain the security of each account in which you register.
