Data protection is a critical aspect of today's information environment, as the number of threats, both from attackers and as a result of human error, is constantly increasing, putting the confidentiality and integrity of information at risk. Basic data protection principles include access control, encryption, backup and activity monitoring. A multi-level approach to security, including physical, administrative and technical measures, reduces the risks of unauthorized access and data loss. The article examines the importance of password security in today's digital environment. Given the growing number of cyber threats, maintaining privacy and protecting personal data has become a priority. One of the effective password management tools is KeePass, a password storage program that provides a high level of encryption and security. This paper analyzes the key features of KeePass, its advantages and disadvantages compared to other password managers. The article also draws attention to the need to choose a reliable password manager to ensure multi-level protection of user data. The use of such tools becomes especially relevant in the context of the growing number of cyber attacks and the need to preserve confidentiality in various industries, including business and government institutions.
