KeePassX

KeePassX

KeePassX is a password manager or safe which helps you
to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your
passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk.

This means that you only have to remember one single master password or insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the algorithms AES or Twofish.

KeePassX also provides a little utility for secure password generation. The password generator is very customizable, fast and easy to use.
