In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS & 16.10, using the KeePass v2.x database - AES/Rijndael only. Opening an entry to view/edit opens a new window: You can customize the columns & see the preview panel. This is basically the same font & sizes as other windows, looks great & fits in. This version's in Ubuntu 'Trusty Tahr' 14.04 LTS, and uses the KeePass v1.x database - AES/Rijndael or Twofish See this Ubuntu package search for keepass for what version's currently in what release: KeePassX 0.4.3 (version 1.x compatible) These are on a Linux Mint 17 XFCE (Ubuntu 14.04 based) system. Screenshots of KeePassX '1.x'/(0.4.x) & '2.x', and KeePass2 And, KeePassX's version 0.4.x & 2.x display issues.Īlso, KeePassX/XC doesn't support plugins (there are several plugins for KeePass), as the user Grief points out in their answer so do upvote it too. Ĭurrently, the biggest difference between KeePass & KeePassX seems to be the appearance and 'feel' of each program, especially on Linux or Mac OS X where KeePassX doesn't rely on Mono, so matches the look of other native programs closer. 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. 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.
