If you can't remember more than one password, then a password manager is definitely something you should look for, because using the same password for multiple accounts is never a good idea. KeeWeb is a good example when it comes to password managers. It lets you store login credentials in one or more highly secure databases. You can have hundreds of passwords, all composed of random characters, and you will only need to remember one master password.

KeeWeb is free and open source. What's more, the application is also cross-platform, so you can use it on Windows, Mac or Linux and you can also find it as a web app for your favorite browsers. Downloading and installing the software won't present a challenge, even for novice users. Also, the hardware requirements are modest and there is no need to install any supplementary tools or services.

The user interface displays a start screen before anything else. Here you can decide to create a new database, open an existing one and provide a password for the selected database. Alternatively, you can choose to protect a database with a key file. Once you create a new database, going to the general settings menu is the first thing you should do, because it is there that you need to create a password for your new database. Additionally, you can choose to save it on the hard drive or in the cloud.

The software lets you sort your entries in groups and sub-groups. It is also possible to assign custom tags and to color code your entries. Creating an entry involves filling in a series of input fields with relevant information, like usernames, passwords and so on. This is where KeeWeb's built-in password manager will help you create long and complex passwords, without thinking about it too much.

Another aspect you will appreciate is the fact that KeeWeb lets you choose what kind of information an entry should include. To be more clear, the software lets you create the input fields you actually need to fill in.

Thanks to KeeWeb's smart functionality and strong protection capabilities, a single password is all you will have to remember for any number of accounts.


Pros

You can manage multiple databases. The software lets you create your own input fields. It comes with a built-in password generator, so you may create long and complex passwords instantly.

Cons

Some fonts on the interface are a bit too dark, which makes certain things difficult to read, especially on sunny days.
