KPXC is currently my favorite password manager. Much more portable than Keepass itself (Mono, lots of plugins just don't work).
I do recommend that anyone without PW manager atm either try KPXC or Keepass itself. It's worth it for your security.

I highly recommend
https://keeweb.info/ if you're looking for an attractive, easy to use, cross-platform and Open Source solution. I've been using it on Windows and MacOS for years without any major issues. It's by far the best looking front-end for keepass databases I've seen.

Since it got a lot of positive attention last time, here's a rough guide on getting started with password management, aimed at readers here who are not currently using a password manager:

TLDR: Download KeepassXC and start using it. :)

The best UX improvement in this release (IMHO) is pretty buried in the changelog, and I don't see it mentioned here: no more lock files!
If you use Keepass on something like Dropbox it's a blessing.

I currently use KeePass2 + Dropbox + Kee (Firefox) + MiniKeePass (iOS). Can KeePassXC + plugins replace those, and what are the advantages?

Does anyone know what the license is for this software? It looks like there are NINE different license files in the repo:
https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxcDid they just copy paste every different license they could find into the repo?

> Add support for KDBX 4.0, Argon2 and ChaCha20 [#148, #1179, #1230, #1494]
I can finally give this a shot without having to use the weird custom AES-based KDF Keepass used to use. Awesome.
Congrats on the release.

Is it worth to migrate from Keepass2 to this? Any interesting user experiences?
by awill on 2/28/18, 6:13 PM
I was a longtime user of KeePassX. The UI was terrible, but it was free, open source and most importantly cross platform.
After KeePass2 made the DB incompatible and rewrote everything in C# it stopped being a proper cross platform product and I investigated aternatices. I've since moved to enpass and I'm very happy. Enpass is a great, native app on Win/Mac/Linux and has native Android/iOS apps (with fingerprint support etc..). Great UI, no subscription fees, no cloud hosting (though it syncs to your personal dropbox, gDrive, OwnCLoud etc..). I couldn't ask for more.

Remove lock file [#1231] is a good one for the ones who sync their KPXC databases between devices

Anybody use this along with a non-tech significant other? How does it compare to commercial password managers in terms of usability?

Great replacement for keepassx which got stuck with Qt 4 forever.

I really wanted to switch to using KeePassXC instead of the original one, as it's definitely a better user experience for the most part when you're flipping between OSes (Windows 10 and various Linux distros in my case). But my workflow requires I keep my kdbx in a git repo in order to sync between work and home, and I cannot get used to the missing "Synchronise with File" feature, which the original Keepass has, but KeePassXC omits.

Does anyone know of an iOS client that supports Argon2? The amazing Keepass2Android already supports it, but I can't move to it until there is also an iOS solution…

Anybody have thoughts about where to store the encrypted database for backup? Would it be foolish to keep the database somewhere publicly accessible?
by eikenberry on 2/28/18, 10:04 PM
I always find it interesting to see which of the new distro agnostic packages these applications provide. In this case AppImage and Snap.
It really looks like AppImage is taking the lead among these new packaging technologies. When the project does provide these sorts of packages you always see AppImages, but rarely see Snap or Flatpak based images.

Is it worth moving to this from 1Password? I mean I don't have any problems at all tho I use an old version (6 on Mac, 4 on Win), the permanent license version not this new subscription.
I was thinking to use this with Dropbox, Chrome, and iOS client (MiniKeePass?)
by teilo on 3/1/18, 1:03 AM
The thing that keeps me in 1Password is its Team Vault support. Nothing works quite so well for maintaining a shared password vault. If I didn't need that, I'd drop 1Password for KeePass in a heartbeat.
by kertis on 3/2/18, 8:11 PM
Actually it's cool that it was forked. But qt5 apps have pretty bad fonts view on my xfce desktop especially with black themes like Ark dark. That's why I am on KeepassX so far.
by znpy on 2/28/18, 7:28 PM
Serious question: why should I leave KeePassX ?
by diimdeep on 2/28/18, 8:16 PM
UI/UX is terrible, I suggest try MacPass or KeeWeb
by therealmarv on 2/28/18, 4:32 PM
is it stable again? Last version was constantly crashing when modifying a new passwort entry again. This is something which is unacceptable for a password manager IMHO.
