It's important to use different passwords for your digital accounts to keep them secure. But that means you have a lot of different passwords to remember: your University Computing Account password, your online banking password, the passwords for your social media sites, and so on. It's easy to forget them or mix them up along the way.
You need a way to manage those passwords securely.
Try KeePass. It's free. You can put all of your passwords in one database and lock that database with one ‘master key' --- a favorite phrase, for instance.
KeePass is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. There is even a mobile app for it!
This software is available at no cost to all members of the University through the Software Download Service at My Pitt. Faculty should be aware that students can also acquire this software; however, it's not available in the campus computing labs. Visit the KeePass web site for additonal product information.
