All your passwords are kept in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. You only have to remember one single master password or insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database.

Databases are encrypted using very secure encryption algorithms (AES and Twofish).

A new version, 1.06, is available. (Thanks to the update alert built into the program.)

    File > Export To > Plain Text
  2. Import the text file into KeePass
    File > Import From> PWSafe v2 TXT file

The mistake I made was to import the encrypted datafile which produces garbage. You need to export to plain text and import the text file.
