Keeping User Name / Password Safely

How many username + password do you have?

My answer is over 180 items. Of course, I cannot memorize all these usernames + passwords. However, I don't want to store these important data in unsafe file and paper. Most of the usernames + passwords were   forgotten if I hadn't used for a long time. Sometimes I have to reset the password before login the account. I was struggling on how to keep them until I found Password Safe and KeePass.

Password Safe and KeePass are a secure and easy to use software for keeping username + password in a file. The benefit are;
  • open source (free software)
  • run on PC or USB drive (no installation required)
  • file encrypted and protected by password
  • separated items by group
  • record item from simple data liked username + password to expiry data and password policy
  • easy to use
