It's relatively simple to install and use, but I seem to recall it used to be even much simpler: I recall that it used to be just an executable that you copied to your system and ran. You could put it on a USB stick along with the database to insure you'd be able to quickly access you passwords in an emergency on another system.
Now you have run an installer which creates a keepass directory under "C:\Program Files\" which is full of.dll files and lots of other stuff. Just another hassel.
Does anybody know of a really simple password manager or encrypting notepad? I've looked at a number of them and they use Java or Javascript, or they involve an external web site, or they have way too many features, or they use an installation program, or windows defender objects to them.
