KeePass

I know what you do. All those different passwords you need to register for those websites? You use the same one, don't you? Your mom's middle name, right?

It's really hard to keep track of all the passwords and PIN numbers we need today. A password manager saves them all with a master password, so you only have to remember one. Then you can use a different one when registering at that cat-fanciers website.

I used to recommend PINs for this category, and I still believe it's a great piece of software. However, KeePass is open source, meaning that anyone can view its source code to verify that the algorithms that encrypt your data are implemented correctly. For any type of encryption software, this is a big plus.

thanks to Kai Duebbert for the lead!
