Main PageI hereby announce the latest alpha release of KeePassX: 2.0 Alpha 6.
It fixes a security issue that allows you to use global auto-type even when the database is locked.
Thanks to Dmitry Medvinsky for reporting this.
The most important changes are:
- Add option to lock databases after user inactivity [#62]
- Add compatibility with libgcrypt 1.6 [#129]
- Display passwords in monospace font [#51]
- Use an icon for the button that shows/masks passwords [#38]
- Add an option to show passwords by default [#93]
- Improve password generator design [#122]
- On Linux link .kdbx files with KeePassX
- Remember window size [#154]
- Disallow global auto-typing when the database is locked
Special thanks to Albert Weichselbraun and Michael Curtis for their contributions to this release.
Please test the new version and report any issues at https://www.keepassx.org/dev/.
Download:
- Source code
- Mac OS X bundle
- Windows binaries
- Full list of files includes GPG signatures (signed by 0x83135D45)
You can also checkout the latest source code from our git repository at https://github.com/keepassx/keepassx.
Beware: this is an alpha release. While I believe the code base is already rather stable make sure to regularly backup your database.
I wish to compile KeePassX 2.0 Alpha 6 myself for Debian Wheezy using the source code.
Could someone here please help me by providing instructions on how to do it?
Hi,
I tried the DEB from https://launchpad.net/~keepassx/+archive/ubuntu/daily/+packages for ubuntu 10.04 under Wheezy and its working fine.
Nice!
Has anyone already tried to build it for OSX PowerPC ? Will it be supported?
Not working on my G5… PPC not supported 🙁
Yes, I think us PPC users had better get used to it.
Auto-type causing keyboard malfuntion on firefox and chromium (linux mint 17-64bit).
Is there a way to make it show your password as a column (where it shows username, link, etc.) like the old version of KPX? I would go in the application, click the password, and it would copy to my clipboard…I’d like to be able to still do this.
This changelog implies there is global auto-type. I don’t see a setting. What is the default shortcut key combination for mac?
Can’t download.It always 0kb/s
The Import function doesn’t include the Notes from each entry, you might want to look into that 🙂
Username and password of the last opened entry in the last opened and ACTUALLY CLOSED database is still available for copy to clipboard via the two “copy to clipboard”-buttons in KeePassX 2.0 Alpha 6. This is possible as long as KeePassX is open and also – as I wrote – if the database is closed (manually or automatically).
Hi,
I have a question regarding KeepassX 2.0. Does it support synchronization to handle multiple copy DB changes to be merged back safely ?
If not, is it under the consideration ?
Thanks,
Tarkan
Hi All,
Kindly consider my request to create proper documentation to install keepassx on Redhat 6…
Documentation for working with redhat: http://ubuntu.com/download
Hi,
thanks for your great work. But while alpha is able to open my password file, alpha 6 sais “wrong signature”
All on Mac
Hi DEV:
thanks for great work. i would like point one issue on this version which is can not auto type. it is not work for this version.
2.0a6: When closing keepassx with unsaved changes all changes are lost when the file can’t be found (eg lost network share). A dialog to save to a new location and/or abort close button would be very nice.
I validated that auto-type feature for 2.0a6 is broken on OSX
Should keepassx 2.0 alpha 5 (or 6) be able to open a KeePass 1.26 KDB? I’m getting errors on open, say “Not a kee pass database”.
I’ve also tried V1.26 XML and Text Exports with similar results.
Thanks
You’ll need to use the “import keepass 1 database” option in the File Menu.
Hi,
Many thanks and “props” to you all.
You have many fans around the grid who really appreciate and are users of your contributions.
My ultimate “props” to this release contributors Mr. Albert Weichselbraun and Mr. Michael Curtis; and the rest of the team.
I do really wish I had a job or at least money to get me through the next two months. I know it is under the Open Source (OSI) but your team of creators and programmers deserve some positive feedback from the community; hence (URL: https://flattr.com/thing/49794/KeePassX).
But… glad I could deliver this positive feedback in message (at least).
Cheers!
Please, add the functionality to remember the column size.
I have long Titels for my entries, and everytime I open KeePassX, I need to expand the “Title” column.
This is annoying!
Hi,
Thanks for a great program.
It would be great if you could watch attachments on the desktop without having to download them first.
how to install russian translation on Alpha 6?
Thanks for great program. I no longer have to use Parallels/Windows to use keepass.
Since copying data from KeePass to KeePassx does not work on my Linux and I tried fromat: kdb. kdbx, would it be possoble for KeePassx to include CSV. Yes I am aware of security issues, but all is needed for the user to delete cvs when done transfering. Right now I am unable to move to KeePass bc can’t import from KeePass .kdbx and can’t generate .kdb on Linux bc it is using MS library.
-thank you

Indeed in alpha 6 autotype is not working anymore on OsX. Would be very nice to have this back in alpha 7!
Thanks!
I had an odd problem on my Mac with KeePassX 2.0a6, it would not open my KeePassX 2.0a5 database, neither automatically or manually. When I tried a manual open, I could navigate to the directory and see the file but it would be greyed out even though the *.kbdx filter was selected. The way I finally got around this problem was to run from the command line: ‘open KeePassDatabase2.kbdx’. The program launched and the database loaded, awaiting my password and key file inputs. Other than that, it all appears to be working as normal. Thanks for your work on this!
Would it be possible to have more options in the variety of characters used in creating the random passwords? I would like options similar to the options available in Keepass 2 like checking off and leaving off individual special characters like -_@%, etc. The option to “create new password based on existing password” in Keepass 2 is also a lifesaver, because I don’t have to guess what pattern a certain website requires every time I want to change a password. I can just create a new one off the old pattern that I figured out before.
All websites seem to have different, picky password length and character requirements that conflict.
(Yes I realize and am grateful that KeepassX is being developed for free, but I think feedback for requested features is useful. And I would consider using Keepass 2 instead for its extra features, except that KeepassX 2 Alpha is stable in Linux whereas Keepass 2 is not.)
Hy all,
Do you think this version is enought stable for a daylly usage.
