Some use Excel, Others simply use text files to keep track of their passwords, but I use keepass .
It is simply a vault for your logins and passwords which you can unlock with a single password. However I use it also for auto-piloting my login procedure.
keepass main window
The whole idea is not to have to use a pool of passwords for all systems and also to auto-start you log-in procedure and save waring off your precious fingers in typing useless usernames and passwords.
In this article I will show how to use keepass to auto-login to:
- Putty
- WinScp
- Toad
- SQLPLUS
- SiebelTools
- FieZilla
And from the examples above you would be able to use it with any command line tool as well.
You could also use it for keeping track of your web site usernames ,passwords and URL’s
It is available on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone.

We Developers, always have a hard-time explaining ourselves in an executive sort of way. One of the biggest mistakes: we start by explaining an approach to a problem only us are aware of. We always assume that everybody is aware with our everyday work problems and challenges.
