message: I know nothing about this software, and the article does read like advocacy.  However, most if not all of the statements that it makes are empirically verifiable or falsifiable claims.  Unless there's clear evidence that some of the material is untrue, it merits rewriting more than deletion.  kraemer 05:16, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cryptanalysis? 

message: This may be a well-written program or not, but I have no personal knowledge either way.  However, in order to have/maintain NPOV and following on the comment in "Cryptanalysis?" above, I think there should be a section included about known or potential issues with this software.  Two items come to mind: (1) someone only needs to crack a single password to have access to 50 or so others, and; (2) if the password file has a fixed (or even default) filename, it would be a logical target for code crackers.  It seems like the latter is indirectly addressed in the current version of the article, but it could be clearer IMHO.
: Even if you have the actual file sent to you for cracking, if it is secured by a reasonably long master password (like 12 random characters) it will do you no good. A firsthand report of such a failed attempt can be found at http://www.excivity.com/ComputeCycle/cracking-keepass-passwords/ -  the reason why this is so is explained in the KeePass documentation - the file is encrypted many times over so that it actually takes a real amount of time for each try.

thread_title:  Flaws, Drawbacks, Shortcomings or Criticism? 

message: I would be interested on how this compares to e.g. Apple Keychain in terms of encryption / hackability. The same holds for any Windows-own password storage if there is any. Perhaps this information should also onto the appropriate pages for OS-included password databases.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.176.183.231 (talk) 05:48, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comparison with built-in OS solutions? 

message: In my current task of evaluating different Password keeper/manager programs for both Mac and Windows, I would like to add a section which lists the data items that KeePass (and KeePassX) store.
Any objections to my adding that as a new section?

message: The article KeePassX was merged into this one, and now redirects here, however, there is almost no mention of KeePassX; just one sentance that links to KeePassX, which redirects here.

text: KeePassX is not KeePass! It started as a KeePass clone, KeePass/L for Linux, but since long is a software on its own, also available for Windows. It shouldn't be merged with KeePass. You don't merge other password managers too... JaKi143 (talk) 14:52, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Security issue? 

message: I feel one of the biggest threats in a password manager is simply that it has a back door.   A password manager written by a small company or private individual could in theory become popular through a good interface design and other facilities - only to be "harvested" via internet of everyone's bank account details a few years further down the road.   Consequently there are only two forms of password manager worthy of trust and they are 1) Those promoted by multinationals of some intrinsic standing (Microsoft, Apple, IBM, HP...) who would have so much to lose from such a product going rogue it can then be assumed trusted if it carries their name 2) Programs that are managed by an open source community where the code can be freely inspected - which does not undo the security as that still needs the password - it just makes plain there is nowhere for malicious code to hide.
Not only should this article make plain this is the case with KeyPass - all such articles about open source should mention it prominently.
I feel sorry about small independents making such software re my comment, but frankly they should not be coding and promoting such things.

message: Without being too technical there should be a mention of the user configurable key derivation function. Notably Argon2 is now available which is indeed very interesting.

message: :I do not see a problem in that, because a big part of the list you deleted had references and the title was much more open minded then what you made out of it. You try to decide for others what‘s notable in Wikipedia but that‘s not my mindset and will never be when I come here because by that I would try to push my opinion into the mind of others which is far to close to censorship for me.
