SourceForge Summary: "KeePass is a free, open-source, light-weight and
easy-to-use password safe for Windows. You can store your passwords in
a highly-encrypted database locked with one master key or key-disk."

For several page description and some screenshots:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/KeePass.asp
For latest version:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/keepass/

Some features:
* Stores group, title, username, URL, password, and note.
* Show/hide password.
* Group passwords (one level heirarchy).
* Database is a single file so it is easy to move.
* Print groups and export groups to HTML, XML and CSV files. (Only
XML implemented?)
* Imports from CSV, maybe others. (Unimplemented?)
* Add, modify/view, move and delete entries.
* Search in the complete database or only in the current group view.
* Clipboard automatically cleared a few seconds after you copy the
username or password.
* Context menu for copying username or password, and for visiting the
associated URL.
* Under active development.

Encryption features:
* Contains security functions like securely erasing a buffer by
overwriting it several times before setting it to zero.
* DB is always encrypted to maintain security even in virtual memory.
* DB encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES/Rijndael),
a 128-bit block cipher, using a 256-bit key.
* User key (passphrase or binary key) plus a random salt is hashed
using SHA-256 to generate the 256-bit key for AES. A new 128-bit
initialization vector is generated randomly each time the db is saved.
* Random passwords and keys are created by hashing standard
pseudo-random sources like current mouse position, tick counter, time
and date, etc., optionally supplemented by sampling arbitrary points
during a scribble over a chaos field and/or arbitrary user-entered
text.
