Keypass questions

[Amit Nepal]

I use keepass with  Key and Master password combination. I store the 
password database on the dropbox/SFTP  and carry my key with myself on 
my cell phone, laptop etc. and then the master password is in my mind :) 
. So with this , even if my password database gets compromised or 
dropbox gets hacked, My password database is still encrypted and the 
keys/password is not with the password database file.
