KeePassX uses the KeePass2.x file format. It's supposed to be compatable. I haven't ever used KeePass2 directly, so can't speak to actual usage vs theory. I did just try KeePassXC ( I was recently reminded about it from an EFF guide ). The KeePassXC fork is getting better maintenance than KeePassX and has added some excellent features. It allows generating a random string from anywhere in the UI, so it's now easier to have random strings for email addresses and security questions. The random generator also has a multi-word passphrase option, which will be much easier for security questions that might have to be answered over the phone. KeePassXC has a merge option for merging in changes from another database file. I still don't see a way to sync out or export a sub-set of keys, but you can drag and drop accounts from one DB to another. Drag and drop moves it, but <ctrl><shift> drag and drop copies. Still not near as functional as it should be, but makes it much easier to keep files in sync. ciao, der.hans
I just tried to open my KeePass2 database with KeePassX, and got the error message - Wrong signature. I keep my database on Dropbox and a key file on my hard drive. When I used KeePassX to access the database on Dropbox, it did not show up in the file finder until I selected all files. The database is .kdbx. I entered the location of the database key file when prompted, and then entered my password. That is when I go the error message. Are these two programs compatible, or am I stuck with the Windows/wine for my existing password repository? I looked at the import options for KeePassX, and all I see are KeePassX (xml), PWManager (pwm), or KWallwet (xml). Nothing for KeepPass2. Thanks!

On my Ubuntu Desktop I have the file saved in the directory that NextCloud syncs and then have KeePass2Android also grab it from Nextcloud. Works great.

A sync tool was probably the plugin I considered. Missing features include a tool for syncing files, a tool for exporting password sets and a use anywhere random stringerator. All easy to work around for an individual, but the sync features would help a lot of team use. ciao, der.hans I forgot to add that I also use KeePass2Android, and I forget how the two stay synchronized. But it works well. Maybe I will download the two, KeePassX and KeePassDroid, and see if they can read my KeePass2 database.

I don’t remember which it was (2, x, whatever). The machine is at home. I’ll have to look, but I’m hoping we’ll get some reaction and info that maybe will point to a solution for me as well… There is an action in the database menu to import a keepass 1 format database. Perhaps the issue was that. I have a vague recollection of running into that at some point.

I have been using KeePass2 on my Ubuntu machine for over 10 years (through wine), and I just discovered KeePassX as a native application. I use Keepass2 primarily as a password backup, as I also use LastPass with the chrome extension for my day to day password manager. I have a couple of questions about moving from KeePass2/wine to KeePassX. I found in one post that the differences that the database files are binary compatible. (https://superuser.com/questio ns/878902/whats-the-difference-between-keepass-and-keepassx). Can anyone confirm this? The only other difference (other that GUI related stuff) is that KeePass2 has plugins and KeePassX does not. I am not using any plugins now. Are there any that you think are really valuable to have, and would be a reason not to switch? Should I switch to KeePassX? I am assuming I can get rid of wine and save some disk space, and run a native application instead of a wine application. Thanks!
