I’ve been using some simple translation techniques to manage passwords that I’m forced to change on a regular basis. As well, I have the beginnings of an application I wrote to store my passwords. As with anything I’d much rather use something already written than building something from scratch but to this point I’ve never found anything I’ve been willing to use fulltime.

I’ve been testing KeePass and I think I like it. It has every feature I could want plus a few I hadn’t thought of AND it’s open source. Why does it matter to me if it’s open source? Basically I know it either has a future through it’s main developer keeping it moving. If that isn’t the case then someone else can take it over or I can manage it myself. I don’t have to worry about a company closing up shop or jacking up fees etc.
