Vrijdag is versie 2.11 van KeePass Password Safe verschenen. Met deze opensource-passwordmanager kunnen accounts worden opgeslagen inclusief de bijbehorende gegevens, zoals gebruikersnaam, wachtwoord en url. Alle gegevens worden veilig in een met het Rijndael-algoritme versleutelde database opgeslagen. Verder kan het programma ook automatisch wachtwoorden genereren en lijsten in- en exporteren. Door het toevoegen van dit taalbestand kan het programma ook in het Nederlands worden gebruikt.
Van KeePass Password Safe bestaan twee verschillende uitvoeringen. Versie 1.x heeft geen andere programma's nodig en werkt alleen onder Windows. Versie 2 maakt intern gebruik van xml en heeft verder minimaal versie 2.0 van het .Net Framework of versie 2.6 van Mono nodig, waardoor het programma onder Linux, Mac OS X of FreeBSD kan worden gebruikt. Een volledig overzicht van de verschillen tussen versie 1 en 2 is op deze pagina te vinden. Hieronder zijn alle veranderingen te vinden die sinds versie 2.10 zijn aangebracht.
