When asked, choose Enable to have KeePass check for updates automatically.When the install is done, make sure Launch KeePass is done, then click Finish.Run the installer, accept the agreement, and choose the default options.Make sure you have administrative rights on your computer.Once you enter the database master password, you can then access all your keys and see the passwords unencrypted. The database has a strong password (master password) to protect it. Using KeePass, you create an encrypted password database, in which you store your keys (passwords), organised into folders. It is available for all major platforms, such as Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. KeePass is a free tool that can create, store and organise passwords. Support for troubleshooting KeePass issues is minimal and should be directed to the vendor. If your KeePass password is lost or forgotten, IT Services can not restore it. Please exercise caution when using this tool.
