- SadWebDeveloper 10y agoYou will probably get tons of bad comments on KeePass security (specially for 2.x the "Professional" version, since its developed with .NET C#) but KeePass threat model is way more easy to handle/secure than any of those cloud based password providers. Just remember to keep it updated and use password and key to protect your database. Plus remember to read the Security section for clarification on "ways to pwn you": http://keepass.info/help/base/security.html http://keepass.info/help/base/security.html
