I looked back, and perhaps Bev misread my comment (I dunno, some
clarification would be nice).

In MID <stmcsl$vgs$1@dont-email.me>; the question posed was:
  | Does it put a text file containing the passwords on your computer
  | or are you completely reliant on the thing ALWAYS working forever?

I responded in MID <slrnsvtigk.5ru.dan@djph.net>:
  | No.  You're reliant on the software continuing to work -- the
  | "database" file is encrypted.

To be perfectly clear - KeePass does password storage in an ENCRYPTED
file on your machine's local filesystem.  There is no "plain text" copy
of your passwords (unless explicitly created by the user).
