Everybody has a new password for every site he or she has to register on, right? Well you can try to remember all of these passwords or you can store them in a password manager application like KeePass. The principal of these kind of applications is that they store all of your passwords in one file. This file has a so called master password which will unlock all of your passwords. This is quite handy so have enough RAM left in your brain to memorize other useless stuff :-). The problem most password manager application have is that they don't have any synchronisation options between your phone and PC. Well let us take a look into that problem.

First of all I would like to say that this little tutorial also applies to other password manager applications other then KeePass. As long as they use a password key file this trick will suit you. Only thing you have to look out for is that your password manager application needs to have a version that runs on your PC operating system and a version for your smartphone. This is way I like KeePass. KeePass runs on several operating systems for your PC and for your smartphone. It is also totally free (if you can please donate to them).

1. Download and install KeePass on your Android phone. You can download it from the Android Market or download a version from http://keepass.info/download.html
2. Download and install KeePass on your PC. You can download a version from http://keepass.info/download.html
3. Download and install DropBox on your Android phone. You can download it from the Android Market or download a version from https://www.dropbox.com/android
4. Download and install DropBox on your PC. You can download a version from https://www.dropbox.com
5. Once you installed DropBox on your PC, it has a folder created by default in your own "Documents". The folder is called "My DropBox". Open this folder or open the folder where you located this folder during install.
6. Create a folder called "KeePass" in the folder "My DropBox".
7. Now open KeePass on your PC and create a new password key file. If you want you can fill this file with all your passwords at this moment. Store this file in the folder created in step 6.
8. Now to open this file on your Android there are 2 ways to go:
   1. Open DropBox on your Android phone. Open the folder "KeePass" and click on the password key file you saved earlier in step 7.
   2. Open KeePass on your Android phone. If it asks you to enter a database filename, click on it and browse to "/mnt/sdcard/dropbox/KeePass/<your password key file>.kdbx
9. Now you file is always synchronized between your PC and phone.

Please notice that as the moment of writing the Android version of KeePass only alows you to view the KeePass file created on your 2.x version on PC. But this will be fixed later on.
