What are the risks of KeePass?

KeePass, a popular open-source password manager, has certain risks that users should be aware of. Firstly, since it stores all passwords in a single encrypted database, if the master password is compromised, an attacker could gain access to all stored passwords. Additionally, KeePass relies on the user's ability to create and remember strong master passwords, which can be challenging for some individuals. Furthermore, if the KeePass database file is not adequately protected, it could be vulnerable to unauthorized access or theft. Regularly updating KeePass and being cautious of phishing attacks can mitigate some of these risks.

The KeePass password manager is vulnerable to extracting the master password from the application's memory, allowing attackers who compromise a device to retrieve the password even with the database locked.
