KeePass is very easy to setup. First off download either edition and install/run KeePass. If you are using Windows then proceed to the step after this.
Linux Install
This is pretty simple. Simply just run this as Root and Bingo!
Code:
sudo apt-get install keepass2
From here you will need to open KeePass and it will prompt to open or create a new database file where everything is stored.
It will first ask for a new Master Key, this can be anything you want but do remember it because if you do not have a key file you will probably be locked out of you're KeePass database.
Re-Enter the Master Key again to confirm. Then you are presented with this screen.
To add a account/login/etc. Click on the Green Arrow Down Key button, this will prompt a new entry to be added.
As you can also see it generates a password automatically for you and you can manually edit the settings by clicking the box right next to the repeat bar.
You can also set a Expires on to help remember to keep fresh new passwords on you're accounts. The Edit tab allows you to do most things editing wise for example adding a new entry or organizing the groups. My favorite feature is the auto-type, it types in the login for you quickly. You can also use plugins with KeePass which can be found You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now..
