Password management tools such as KeePass [1] are hugely helpful when dealing with access credentials. The secure and encrypted database of the free, open source software lets you store your login credentials, including notes, links, and other information you need for access. To use this information, you only need the password for the password safe itself, making it far easier to manage passwords, especially when complex combinations are used. The benefits KeePass offers are great even if you only run it on a single computer.
However, the tool is not only designed for single-computer use; you can use the database to store your credentials on multiple devices. The associated file is only a few kilobytes in size, even if it contains many entries, and the content is securely encrypted by 256-bit AES. KeePass clients for many operating systems - besides Linux, macOS, and Windows - include Android, iOS, and iPadOS.
In addition to keeping your passwords safe, you'll benefit from more convenient and easier logins to various services, because you'll be able to copy the credentials and passwords to the clipboard.
