Main PageThis is the first beta release of the upcoming KeePassX 0.4.
It contains a bunch of new features such as a pronounceable password generator, a “Tools” menu in the entry dialog to ease the use of auto-type, automatic backup of changed entries and of course some bugfixes.
Hopefully we can provide more translations of KeePassX in the final release. So if you’re able to speak a language that is not yet supported or the translation is incomplete, please have a look at the translating page.
Warning: This version is experimental. Don’t use it in productive environments and backup all your databases.

How about adding patch 2022607 to quickly open an attached file and securely delete it after closing it?

KeePassX still won’t open Windows Keepass kdbx files, says “wrong signature”.
I had to convert kdbx to kdb format in Windows to make it work on Mac. Ugly bug!
Same here, glad I wasn’t the only one to have the problem, can we get this fixed please? 🙂
kdbx is the database format of KeePass 2, which is still in BETA stage.
You really shouldn’t use unfinished software for something important as your passwords.
So please stop complaining about the lack of KeePass 2 database support.
Thomas,
Thank you for your patch…I have to admit I haven’t looked at it until now. It looks like it was a diff against version 0.3.1 code, so it’s probably going to need some tweaking. I am incredibly busy right now with well, life, but I’ll discuss with SniperBeamer to see if it’s something we would like to include. It sounds pretty good, assuming I can get it working and mold it into whatever the current SVN release is at the time. Perhaps it will be included in a future release? 🙂
Thanks for your hard work!
My recommendation for anyone wanting to use KeepassX ( OSX ) and Keepass WINDOWS is to make sure you DO NOT use version 2.0 on windows. The databases are different and you will have issues when trying to open the file under OSX.
Personally, I only keep one database copy under my windows bootcamp partition and I access that database from OSX with read/ write permissions by using NTFS3G.
Works very well for me and my database is always up to date no matter which OS I use.
Thanks again for a great product!
I am eagerly awaiting a port of this for the iphone 3g. ( ikeepass )

hey there, what about a rss feed from this site… so i can get my information direct to my apple mail programm.
please port it to iphone and make auto type availible for mac!
thx and best regards
There is a rss feed available: http://www.keepassx.org/feed
For an iPhone port, have a look at: http://ikeepass.de/
Can you add option to change visibility of Username in main window of groups?
sorry, i have found it
autotype for OS X is on my todo list, it’s just that it’s a large enhancement, I don’t have a whole lot of time right now, and to be perfectly honest — I don’t have an idea yet for how to accomplish it. It’s just not something I have looked into thoroughly yet. I hope to have it finished for a future release, but I cannot offer any particular delivery date.
I’m using a HTC Touch SmartPhone with Windows Mobile 6. So I need to use version 2 of KeePass. Seemed that this version here is still not able to work with the databse of the version 2. So I still need to start my PC from time to time with Windows only to manage new entrys in KeepPass and export the database there into version 1 for the Linux version….
I hope there will be any solution for that.
Frank,
please read comment #4 from SniperBeamer.
Sorry, but I can’t see any other solution for my HTC as to use Version 2. Version 1 is not running on Windows Mobile 6 Prof. Or am I wrong?
Great product guys. I was using a password protected Excel file for all my passwords, till I heard my buddies talking about this software. Word of mouth is so powerful these days.
People really need to learn how to request something instead of complaining. If they think they can do better, why dont they make their own software? LoL…
What I would use a lot would be the Perform AutoType like Linux has in Windows. Its not really a big thing though since I can copy to clipboard.
Well keep up the good work guys. I look forward to seeing future upgrades.
I don’t think there is any need for the hostility towards requests for the 2.x database. People are not complaining, and I think a question can be legitimate.
Yes, both I and more people with me understand the danger of using beta software. And instead of doing anything that can be considered as a complaint, here is a request:
I would love to see support of the 2.x database in Keepassx. I love the KeePass programs and as I have a dual boot laptop with WindowsXP and Kubuntu, it would make my life a lot easier.
What would be nice is an indication to when we can expect you guys to start looking at this. I expect you have a lot to do, so it might be some time in the future. That is totally understandable. It is just nice to know when we should start looking for a new version 🙂
In the mean time – thank you for a great product. It is very valuable and I am trying to find a way to communicate with the kwallet people to request a way of active syncing or direct use of database.
SniperBeamer, KeePass 2.08 FINAL was released today, so you can’t use the beta excuse anymore as a reason to not support the 2.0 database format.
In any case, the beta period is when the 2.0 database format SHOULD have been integrated, so that when the software was out of beta the support would be near complete. Targeting an old DB format versus the newer one was never a good idea to begin with.
I second number_one. Please, please please add the 2.0 database support. And a feature to convert databases automatically…
Thanks.

i downloaded 0.4.01 and drag-n-drop works fine.
But Global Auto Type and plain Auto-Type does not work . Using Ubunty latest ver
Any suggestions?
I also second supporting the 2.0 db structure in Linux… Just tried to open the windows file on here. Never realised I was using Beta, not until I looked this up. However in all fairness, the solution does seem quite simple (caveat: haven’t tried it yet!)
Thanks for all the work on this, it really is much appreciated 🙂
