KeePass Password Safe 1.22
Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your homepage`s FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, homepage, etc. Unimaginable.
KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish). For more information, see the features page.
Is it really free?
Yes, KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source and check whether the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.

Update history of KeePass Password Safe
v1.22 (May, 24. 2012)
New Features:
- New generic CSV importer (now supports multi-line fields, '\' as escape character, field & record separators and the text qualifier can be specified, white space characters can be removed from the beginning/end of fields, the fields and their order can be defined, supported fields now are group name & standard fields like e.g. title & custom strings & times & ignore column, the first row can be ignored, KeePass initially tries to guess the fields and their order based on the first row).
- Native master key transformations are now computed in two threads on 64-bit systems, too; on dual/multi core processors this results in almost twice the performance as before (by doubling the amount of rounds you'll get the same waiting time as in 2.18, but the protection against dictionary and guessing attacks is doubled).
- New XML configuration and translation deserializer to improve the startup performance.
- Added option to require a password repetition only when hiding using asterisks is enabled (enabled by default).
- Entry attachments can now be renamed using in-place label editing (click on an already selected item to show an edit box).
- Empty entry attachments can now be created using 'Attach' -> 'Create Empty Attachment'.
- Sizes of entry attachments are now shown in a column of the attachments list in the entry editing dialog.
- Added {ENV_PROGRAMFILES_X86} placeholder (this is %ProgramFiles(x86)%, if it exists, otherwise %ProgramFiles%).

- Added support for loading key files from URLs.
