I was using Keepass on Windows XP to store my passwords. But I have moved to another place and now my only option is Mac OS. So my question is can you recommend software like Keepass on Mac OS?

P.S: Keepass doesn't support Mac OS and I couldn't find software like Keepass on Mac.

I also had issues running keepass2.16 on Lion. However, it turned out the issue was with mono not being installed. After installing mono everything worked great. – Eric Blue Mar 8 at 4:35

Keepass does support Mac OS, according to their website:

http://keepass.info/download.html

KeepassX - http://keepassx.sourceforge.net/

The newer version of Keepass also runs under Mac OS via Mono - more information is on the download page I've linked to above.

Earlier I saw only mono information. I didn't know about it. Now I know about it. Thank you. – Enkhbat Apr 27 '11 at 10:38
No worries! The page is a bit confusing. – jayp Apr 27 '11 at 10:39
Only KeePass 1.x unfortunately. – Daniel Beck May 3 '11 at 6:09

The mono version looks terrible and has huge UI problem, not only with looks but it's sometimes not even possible to read the password. It also fails to copy the password to the clipboard for me. – Jonas Elfström Jan 12 at 21:17
KeePassX does not support KeePass 2.0 databases. KeePass is in a sad state on Mac OS X. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KeePass#Portability – Jonas Elfström Jan 12 at 21:19

You can use KeePass 2 under Mac OS X too:

Some password and secure note management is integrated system-wide as Keychain. Use Keychain Access to manage it.

While not as powerful as some of the other solutions, it's available on every Mac without installing anything, free, and most Mac software supports it for password storage (in fact, pretty much everything except cross-platform programs).

It's great to e.g. switch FTP clients and have the new one use the keychain entries from the previous one. I also use some encrypted file containers created using Disk Utility, and store their passwords in a separate keychain. I only ever need to remember the keychain password to open these containers and am automatically queried for it.

LastPass is free if you don't indend to use it on mobile devices (it's very cheap and is worth the money in my opinion).

It didn't work for me on Lion - faily silently. – ipavlic Dec 1 '11 at 10:22
@ipavlic: There was a bug, one of the packaged files, it pointed to a nonexistent v2.16, but they have fixed it now. You should try it again. – santiagoIT Jan 7 at 12:12
