In light of the recent hacks on Steemit, Ubuntu Forums, and more, it's more important than ever to get a password manager. Here are four of the best ones.

Keepass

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). For more information, see the features page.
