Keepass for Blackberry Security Freeware



Keepass is an open source password manager that runs in windows and also several mobile devices. I’m happy to say Blackberry is one of them. Keepass uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) this is the standard of encryption chosen by the American National Institute of Standards and Technology (Government Agency). It currently use 128bit encryption, which I is sufficient to protect sensitive information inside your phone.

Since the addition of the Blackberry version you can just encode information using the windows version of keepass and keep another copy inside your phone. With the keepass explorer you just which database you want to open SD card or phone memory.

I’m a firm believer of having several passwords, keeping track off all of them is hard but having keepass around solves that problem.

We have mentioned KeePass for BlackBerry a few times in the past year as a free alternative for storing passwords and sensitive information on your Berry. It even syncs with the KeyPass desktop client.

There have been quite a few small releases since we last mentioned it so I thought it would be worth bringing it up again.
