I tested KeePassXC for the first time today on Linux. OS X and Windows users might prefer KeePassXC over KeePassX as autotype works there: https://keepassxc.org/docs#faq-autotype
I can’t say anything about security or how many hidden bugs it has, but the GUI is much better than KeePassX which has had unfixed GUI-bugs for a few years. Only disadvantage I could find was that it has a function to talk with web browsers through plugins which I don’t think I will use and therefore offers no advantage to me but might possibly be a security threat if accidentally left on in settings. I don’t know, but it should’ve been put in an optional plugin not in the main program.
The original KeePass for Windows/.Net has more functionality and is probably more secure in Windows than both KeePassX and KeePassXC and works great on Win7, 8.x and 10. .Net lowers the risk for security related bugs created by programmers compared to C++. But on Linux the GUI isn’t appealing, has bugs and requires mono so X and XC are better there in my opinion.
On my Linux machines I think I might switch from X to XC, but I’ll test XC a few weeks first and look for bugs before the switch. In Windows I’ll probably use the original KeePass.
You’ve also got Keeweb which is a single HTML file which can read and edit KeePass compatible databases on any platform with a web browser.
It’s a bit more clunky but it provides true cross-platform capability.

Great review, thanks!
On Debian Buster, the GUI look a lot better with keepassX than with KeepassXC. In fact, it look almost like a native GTK app. Anyway in my mind, a password manager just need to be simple, stable ans secure! Thank you to everybody behind KeePassX!
Also want to say thank you to the developer(s) and contributor(s) of KeePassX. I’ve used it for several years and I really appreciate your work. Tanks!
Thank you already publish this article, it is very useful for us.

First, thanks for the great free software, really appreciate it. Please can I add a feature request for KeePassX? If possible please can you look into adding the ability to import version 2 databases on Linux. I regularly use multiple Windows and Linux workstations and I can open a v2 database from Windows on Linux but I cannot merge one, which means that any new Linux entries must be imported into KeePass on Windows first before re-opening on Linux, this is a bit of a pain as my Linux machine is air gapped from my Windows one by a few hundred miles!
Keep up the good work!

The article is interesting and useful. I tried it and found it really useful. Thank you very much.
Hi,
Could you provide the latest package for Ubuntu 16.04?
The repository contains only 2.0.2.
Thanks!
Awesome. just what I was looking for. Re-blogging to https://goo.gl/xYx1nG
Excellent! Thanks for the release.
Thank you for this great tool, I am just new to Mac and used to use Keepass 2 on Windows, I was really embarassed when I found out that it did not work as expected with mono.
Having a compatibility between DB with Keepass 2 is just so powerful and time saving.
Do you plan new features or having plugins for 2018 ?
All the Best

Hello,
I have a few versions of Keepass. I was trying to backup KeepassX 2, and was looking for the database.
I had a few of them, now I don’t know the exact location keepassdata.kdbx should be, as I was opening and moving them 😉
Right now I have this database on the desktop.
Any help please ?
Thanks!
I can’t say anything about security or how many hidden bugs it has, but thanks for sharing
Can’t get it to open my database anymore since I updated to macOS High Sierra.
Unfortunately I can’t open a keystroke (kdbx 2) I had in Linux (RHEL 7.4) in Mac OS X Sierra.
Tested KeePassXC today on Linux. Gotta say, I’m impressed.
Great job. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been using KeePassX for several years and I really appreciate your work. Thank you guys.
KeepassX 2.0.3 is a tool that have proven to be reliable, simple, light. Keep it up like this !
It’s something I rarely say but “You should add a donation link to this website”. Thanks for this app.
