I use this to keep a record of all my logins/ passwords. It's handy for travelling cos it works off a USB key. From what I can tell the encryption is very strong and my master password is 11 characters. How safe is it really? Also was thinking of keeping a backup copy of the database here at Digital Bucket so I can access it from anywhere in case I loose or break my USB key. How safe is online data storage if the file being stored is encrypted?

thanks for the info

Get an IronKey - they rock and have online backup integrated. I have tried to break/exploit one and it wiped itself... For software I use PGP / GPG to encrypt anything - text file of passwords, email, any file type etc - should work off a usb. This is public key crytpo and unlike a symmetric cipher an attacker needs your private key file plus the passphrase to access your data. I have no idea whether KeePass is secure... For online storage of crypto files just make sure you have used a strong algorithm and any passwords you use to access crytpo need to be complex - greater than 10 characters, contain lowercase, uppercase, number sand special characters. For personal storage of small amounts of data use public key crypto rather than a symmetric cipher - background reading
