KeePass is great but there are some differences

* PassPilot is simpler (if that is what you are looking for)

* You can store and access your encrypted vault online after logging in to access it anywhere.

* PassPilot if used offline from local file (like KeePass) is much lighter (only one file about 250KB) and you can move it easily, send it in email copy to cloud, it is HTML file not EXE so it is more transparent.

* everything in PassPilot is straightforward, your records are kept in JSON format then they are encrypted with AES, you have full freedom about what you want to do with either, you can even manipulate that JSON manually encrypt that and save it to file and it will work, full flexibility, you can copy the encrypted text and save it elsewhere then paste it back and decrypt in PassPilot.

It really depends on what you are looking for. I actually created this password manager for myself as I didn't like any other :), I like the save to file feature as it gives me confidence that if all internet goes dark I have my backup copies stored in several places, but for everyday use I like to login and use it online, if you like such model I recommend PassPilot ;)
