Subject: Re: Keypass questions
I have been using KeepassX2 for several months now. you can use several
DB's as needed.
nothing is 100% safe but at least I can use long and difficult and
different passwords/urls/notes/contacts and I do move my
database to different locations owncloud ssh and local even on my phone for
while. I use it on many pc's so I have not found a great single place to
keep it. ever loose a usb drive or phone? Todd
