It’s already more than a year I’m using a password management called KeePass Password Safe Portable. I am a big fan of Portable Apps, all of those application from Portable Apps is already on my thumb drive plus more application like Opera Portable, Skype Portable, XAMPP and many more. This portable apps always useful when you need to use another PC, but you want to use your application, not using the application on host PC, besides you don’t want to leave your data on another PC. This application help me a lot while working on another PC. Unfortunately, Portable Apps only available on windows. All of application coming from Portable Apps is on FOSS based.

One of those application that I want to share is KeePass Password Safe. This application is free. I’m using KeePass Password Safe Portable version. I am already storing more than 120 passwords. This is useful when you usually forgot password or you are rarely used the account and password or you always use different/switch browser. Maybe you have dual-boot OS, then you need to remember the password when we switch to different OS. Off course, you don’t need this application if you can remember all off your password.

The good thing of this application is this is multi platform application. So you can open, storing and editing the same database file from any OS (Cross Platform Password Management). To open this application on Linux (Ubuntu), you need to install KeepassX.

$ sudo apt-get install keepassx

After the installation, you can open, store, edit, create and manage your password.

Manage you password carefully, don’t let anyone get your password database file.
