What type of database is KeePass?

How does KeePass generate passwords?

When you create a new entry, KeePass will automatically generate a random password for it. The properties of these generated passwords can be configured in the password generator dialog.

How does a KeePass work?

KeePass automatically keeps a history of your passwords if you change them in the program so you can check for previous passwords and utilize them on systems, which may not be configured with your current ones. Once you've set up your entries, make sure to click the Floppy Disk icon in the toolbar to save the database.
