Your master password is hashed using this algorithm and its output is used as key for the encryption algorithms.

SHA-256 is a 256-bit cryptographically secure one-way hash function. The complete database is encrypted, not only the password fields.The algorithms are symmetric so its complexity would be reduced a bit, anyway, the sun will go nova before you have decrypted the database. Even quantum computers won’t help that much.Even if you would use all computers in the world to attack one database, decrypting it would take longer than the age of the universe.Banks are using these algorithms for example, too.

Both of these ciphers are regarded as very secure by the cryptography community.

KeePass supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, Rijndael) and the Twofish algorithms to encrypt its password databases.

KeePass is a free, open-source, light-weight and easy-to-use password manager, which offers strong security:
