KeePassXC seems to have been forked from KeePassX because of the slow development of KeePassX (it's last update was v2.0.2 on ) while KeePassXC started with v2.1.0 on. After KeePass/L became a cross platform application the name was not appropriate anymore and therefore, on 22 March 2006 it has been changed. Originally KeePassX was called KeePass/L for Linux since it was a port of Windows password manager Keepass Password Safe.
It is now available as a native program for Linux, Windows, OS X, and others. KeePassX is an "Contributed/Unofficial KeePass Port" of KeePass that was started in 2005 (if the copyright notice on the bottom of their webpages is accurate) to run KeePass on Linux. KeePass was started about 2003, originally for Windows only, but now uses Mono to run on anything that Mono supports, like Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD. user names, passwords, urls, attachments and comments. Version as of this writing: 1.31 and 2.You probably already know, but both KeePass and KeePassX (& now KeePassXC, a fork of KeePassX) are open source (published under the GNU General Purpose Licence 2) secure (using AES or Twofish) data storage programs, using a single database file to store (mainly) passwords, or pretty much any data you'd like e.g. KeePassDroid is available for Android, and MiniKeepPass for iOS. Independent code audit: "None that we know of"Ĭompatibility: KeepassX available for Linux, MacOS and Windows. Open source: Yes, GNU General Public License, version 2Įncryption support: Yes, KeePass database files are encrypted using AES and Twofish (not available on version 2.x)īenefits: Generates strong passwords and saves all your passwords in an encrypted database file. Easy in use, but requires regular backup of database file and application update for effective and worry-free use. InfoĮase of use: Requires some practice and patience to install and configure. You can store your existing passwords in KeePass or have it generate new ones for you. This password is also used to encrypt all the contents of the database. The database is protected by a 'master password' that you create. You can put both that database and the KeePass program on a USB memory stick and carry it with you. KeePass is a powerful, easy-to-use tool that helps you store and manage all your passwords in a highly secure database.
