Main PageDespite the seeming lack of activity KeePassX is alive and we are proud to announce
the first 2.0 Alpha release.
This is the first release of KeePassX 2, which supports the KeePass 2 file format.
There are still lots of features missing, but the basic functionality is there.
Most importantly you can’t import databases from KeePassX 0.4 yet.
Feel free to test the new release and report any issues at http://www.keepassx.org/dev.
You can get the source code from http://www.keepassx.org/dev/projects/keepassx/files
or checkout the git repository at http://gitorious.org/keepassx.
Beware, this is an alpha release and not intended to be used in a production environment.
So far the release has only been tested on Linux, so any feedback from other platforms is appreciated.
At last some screenshots:
Finally!
Great! Thank you for your work!
More of the same, please! π
Compiled and tested successfully on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. Used qt4 and cmake provided with macports.
Great! I incorrectly thought the project was dead. Glad to be wrong.
thanks for your work here. a fully functional keepass 2 port to *nix environments will be an enormous benefit to the community
Hey! Thanks for the update! Can someone post a small how to compile. I managed an installation, but I don`t see icons in it.
What I did is:
sudo port install cmake
cd /Users/tom/Desktop/down/keepassx-2.0-alpha1/
mkdir app
mkdir build
cd build
sudo cmake ..
sudo make
sudo make install DESTDIR=/Users/tom/Desktop/down/keepassx-2.0-alpha1/app/
Thanks
I had to install from macports qt4-mac-devel, cmake, and libgcrypt & then followed Tom’s instructions… worked fine
right, thanks! It`s bulding completely now but I still don`t have an app icon or icons inside the app…
you should see the program here:
/Users/tom/Desktop/down/keepassx-2.0-alpha1/app/usr/local/KeePassX – with just a generic intel executable icon on the KeePassX file… copy that program – it’s the executable… move it to your apps folder or wherever… find the application that has the icon you want to use, e.g., keepassx 1.x … get info on it, select the icon in upper left of the get info window and copy it. get info on the new keepassx app you moved to wherever. select the icon in upper left and choose paste from edit menu… you should now have a KeePassX 2 program with the KeePassX icon from KeePassX 1.x…
Can someone please put some binaries for mac on a file server. Sorry, but compiling even with the instructions is still something to difficult for me.
I would like to test this new version, since i user keepass on multiple enviroments…
If I can help

Thank you!!!
But, how do I get my password?
edit an entry, then select and copy it from the edit box???
YEAH keep it coming, I live with KeePassX DAILY in Linux! π
THANKS
Fantastic work, glad to see the project’s still going! Don’t know where I’d be without KeePassX. A quick suggestion (if it’s not already been thought about): how about a feature for generating memorable passwords out of combinations of dictionary words (perhaps interspersed with other symbols), in the spirit of XKCD? https://xkcd.com/936/
Maybe it would be better to go a different route. It would be nice to have a plug-in architecture to add different types of password generators. This would be more flexible.
But in truly XKCD spirit, you should create the password based on a sort of story you make up. It’s easier to remember the password if you make it up. Usually I take an animal, a colour, a place and a number. For example, “Three red camels gamble in Las Vegas”. The password could be 3redcamelsLasVegas. Weird sentece but easy to remember (for me). Much easier than three random words chosen by Keepassx.
I am donating right now – this is great news. We use Keepass on a Windows+Mac network – keep the database file on our file server and each computer has the application installed. Obviously we’re looking forward to the “2” version of Keepass X for the Mac.
OMG! I like it. Downloading now!
Really great news! I’ll test it and report any bugs.. Thx!
Copy&Paste doesnt seems to be working on Os X (Lion)
Is it not supported yet, or am I missing anything?
Not supported in Alpha 1 but I have just committed the feature to master.
Thank god. I’ll test it out after I install the dependencies.
Sweet, will be checking this out for sure.
Awesome work! Got it running in 2 minutes from source on osx lion..
no more running mono on mac, that was bad
Can you describe the steps you took to get it running on Lion? I’m a newbie at compiling and keep hitting a wall. Thanks.
Thanks for continuing development on this! I am just a regular user of KeePassX — not a programmer or anything. I just wanted to let you know that there are those of us out there who use KeePassX who are not computer geniuses but who are fans of open source (and live in a cross-platform household :). I use KeePassX every day, and I’ll be downloading this new version once it’s stable and can open my 0.4.3 database.
Search feature suggestion: Make the search more intelligent. For example, I can type “yahoo” and get all yahoo accounts. I can type “john” and get all accounts with john as the user. However, if I type “john yahoo” I get zero results. Correct behavior should return all entries that mention both john AND yahoo.
I would love to see this feature in the original version too. This is my biggest gripe with keepassx. Otherwise I love it!
Got it working with brew (installed qt, libgcrypt and cmake) + Lion. π
Btw, are there any efforts moving this project to Github?
+1 for github
No, I prefer to use free software web services.
I’m a user not a programmer…

Go Go Go Go Guys. I am looking forward for stable version π
Nice!
Have yo think in add MD6 cipher algorithm or any of the ciphers from the SHA-3 contest?
Nice work,
I am looking forward, to see the same options like in the win version like Autofill
Mac OS X 10.7.4 – had some trouble to install qt4-mac-devel, here i found the resolution https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29449
Hi all – really looking forward to KeePassX 2.0 on Mac OS X. Thanks for all your efforts.
If this helps – here’s how I built and installed from source on Mac OS X 10.7.4 using Homebrew for the dependancies.
I also have the full Xcode 4.3.2 installed and have also installed the command lines tools from Xcode Preferences -> Downloads -> Command Line Tools (installed).
(Note: if Homebrew is setup correctly – you shouldn’t need to ‘sudo’ any of this)
brew install qt
brew install libgcrypt
(I didn’t need to install zlib via brew as was already present in Mac OS X installation).
git clone git://gitorious.org/keepassx/keepassx.git
cd keepassx
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make package
Done – mount the .dmg file and dragged the KeePassX.app into my Applications folder and KeePassX is working fine.
Guys, could anyone of you please upload the compiled app in dropbox or somewhere …
I followed these instructions but on my two Macs with 10.6.7 and 10.6.8 the resulting binary refuses to run, saying:
Incompatible library version: QtGui requires version 47.0.0 or later, but libpng12.0.dylib provides version 45.0.0
Any idea?
Works great on OS X Lion with dependencies installed from homebrew π keep up the good work.
Rowan,
May I ask what steps you went through to build KeePassX 2.0 on a Mac?
Thanks,
Andy
1. Install Homebrew
2. Run the following commands in Terminal:
– brew install qt
– brew install cmake
– brew install libgcrypt
3. Follow the instructions in the ‘INSTALL’ file
Thanks for working on this. Been using another OS X Mono port, but it’s functionality is severely limited. Looking forward to testing a binary. I don’t have any dev tools on my Macbook.
