I have been looking for that perfect password database program for quite sometime now. So after I saw Keypass on just about every website and blog on the internet and getting excellent reviews! I decided to download the portable edition and give it a try. I was absolutley impressed its one of those must have programs in my list now! If you are saving your passwords in Firefox that is VERY unsafe! Firefox has an addon that imports all your passwords from Firefox to Keypass in a click of a mouse! A new KeePass plug-in called ClockWork's Firefox to KeePass Importer was since developed specifically for this purpose. All you need to do is install the Firefox to Keepass Converter plug-in and the KeePass XML Import plug-in. It's still a multi-step process, but it's better than the old alternative and the developer has detailed instructions.
Download the newest portable version here:

KeePass database stores all your passwords inside of it in an encrypted state, and uses one master password and/or a key-file to access that database. KeePass has fields for username, password, URL and notes associated with each login, and you can create login groups (like, Windows, web sites, Wifi networks) to organize your passwords. KeePass is highly secure; if you keep it running, it will lock its workspace after a certain amount of idle time and require you enter the master password again to access the database.
Check this post at Lifehacker for several helpfull posts on Keypass! It may seem a bit complicated at first but once you set it up and tune it to your preferences its an amazing tool!
All in all Keypass is the ultimate password database to store all your private information for worry free computing!
