It encrypts passwords to ensure their safety and stores them in a database that is locked with a master key. The security of KeePass is reinforced by the use of reputable encryption algorithms such as AES-256, ChaCha20, and Twofish.
Additional functionality can be achieved through various plugins and extensions designed for KeePass. It supports important operations such as importing and exporting passwords, as well as backing up the password database, making it a comprehensive tool for password security management.
