Local password managers run on the local device and store the data on the device by default and not the cloud. LastPass is a typical example of an online service. Online password managers use cloud storage to sync data. Password managers can be divided into three groups: online, local, or mixed. Users may install browser extensions to improve the core functionality and use desktop programs or applications for that as well. Some Internet programs, web browsers for instance, come with password saving functionality. Passwords are used nearly everywhere on today's Internet and even on local devices you log in on your devices using a password, pin or other authentication options, and need passwords for nearly any service on the Internet. The review focuses on the Windows version of KeePass, and here in particular version 2.x as it offers more features.
