Keepass Or Free Password Manager ?

The password manager I'm currently using has one drawback I would like to shed.

 

Previously someone recommended KeePass. I looked to download it and it is $29.95 - one machine, two, five? I don't know.

 

So I looked to CNET for recommendations and they give Free Password Manager 5 stars. Anyone use it? What do you think?

 

Thanks... Gaw Guy

 

CNET says...

 

"The built-in Help file provides surprisingly comprehensive documentation, but most users will be able to figure out Free Password Manager on their own; it's quite intuitive. We liked the fact that unlike similar programs we've seen, Free Password Manager is specific about the kind of encryption it uses, stating in the Help file that it's AES encryption with a 256-bit key. We also liked it that Free Password Manager can be used either on your computer or on a portable device, as it comes with an installation wizard specifically for use with USB drives and other portable media. Overall, Free Password Manager is a versatile and easy-to-use tool, and we recommend it.

 

Free Password Manager installs and uninstalls without issues.

Keepass is open source and free. Make sure you download it from the correct site:

http://keepass.info/

I use the 1.x version rather than the 2.x version of Keepass. It works ok, but I found it a bit of a learning curve to get to grips with initially and it's not particularly intuitive, but it's free so can't complain.

Haven't tried the other password manager you ask about.
