Keepas 1.24 Portable by Evan

KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).
KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source and check whether the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.
What's new:# New Features:
- Header data in KDB files is now authenticated (to prevent silent data removal attacks; thanks to P. Gasti and K. B. Rasmussen).
- The content part of a KDB file now contains 32 random bytes (generated each time the file is saved, by a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator using system entropy) to prevent content guessing attacks using the content hash.
- When closing the entry editing dialog by closing the window (using [X], Esc, ...) and there are unsaved changes, KeePass now asks whether to save or discard the changes; only when explicitly clicking the 'Cancel' button, KeePass doesn't prompt.
- Added '-pw-stdin' command line option to make KeePass read the master password from the StdIn stream.
# Improvements:
- Improved update check.
- Upgraded and improved installer (now uses Unicode, LZMA2 compression, ...).
- Upgraded to Boost libraries version 1.51.0.
- Various code optimizations.
- Minor other improvements.
