DESCRIPTION
KeePassX... These days you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your homepage's ftp password, online passwords (like CodeProject member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, homepage, etc. Unimaginable.
KeePass is a free/open-source password manager or safe which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key-disk. So you only have to remember one single master password or insert the key-disk to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).

AJOYCE I was giving KeepassX 0.3.4 a whirl and discovered pretty quickly one of the problems with most password programs that keeps me from switching... and that is the inability to import or export data either into or out of the program in an easy way. I have tried many password programs and because of one thing or another I decided I would simply make my own using FileMaker. I'm obviously not a developer and my creation lacks some things, but it was doing the job and I was able to import or export in many formats. KeePassX limits the import to what I thought was an xml file but when I exported from FileMaker into an xml file I get the message from KeePassX that it's not a recognized file. I will never get stuck again by an inability to import or export. The description talks about the benefit of never having to worry about not being able to use a file created by KeePassX but right out of the box it appears that I'm suppose to reenter hundreds of records... no way! This is a serious shortcoming, in my opinion. | |

THEBRIX2008 Two words on the last review: Ignore. Wrong! KeePassX wins because it is cross-platform and open-source, so the password database format is never going to fade away undocumented; such an event caught me before. I use Dropbox to share a database between three computers (PC, Linux, Mac), and also synchronise it to a PocketPC. I have never had problems - no matter where a change is made the updated database is always readable on the other three platforms. The database format is surprisingly powerful; for example, entries may contain files, which is vital when "entering" serial numbers as some are distributed as binary attachments, and they may be nested in folder structures if needed. My only caveat is that, of the four versions I use, the Mac version has the least native appearance, probably because it is a Qt application. And some of the messages and prompts could do with more work; for example, if you type in a wrong password to access a KeePassX database you are notified that either the password is wrong or the database is corrupt. The second is relatively unlikely, and should not be reflected in a common error message. But the caveats are superficial; the functionality is excellent.

MAC OS X 4EVER WARNING: Absolute garbage (virus???). I was excited at first. Mac & PC would be great! I launched it, selected new database, and tried to enter a password. I immediately got the spinning ball of death, but worse than usual. This application is so bad it locks the computer up beyond recovery. There is no way to force quit it, switch to Activity Viewer, nothing! Don't even think of trying this garbage! I am running a MacBook Pro 2.6GHZ, 4GB RAM, Leopard with ALL OS updates. I was even brave enough to try again after the reboot. This time it took a password, the main screen came up, but then everything was dead. And I do mean everything! No spinning ball, but mouse clicks have no effect. I cannot use the keyboard, everything except for being able to move the mouse is totally frozen! This is a virus/trojan, or just the worst untested POS ever developed. It's not even Alpha quality! Consider yourselves warned. I would love to see an app like this cross platform working, but it was obviously written on another platform and is a poor attempt at porting it over. I will be sticking with 1Password.

FOLLEREC Have you ever thought that it may be that there's something wrong with your computer? Have you ever attempted to ask for support in their forums? If there was a serious problem with this, and, as you accuse, that it is a virus/trojan, a lot more people would be complaining. Considering that you get the software for free, you seriously should consider helping out by troubleshooting your issues and see if it's really KeePassX's issues or simply your computer. Considering that the software is open source, I highly doubt it is a virus/trojan as you accuse. Running on a MacBook with Leopard 10.5.5, all latest updates. No issues whatsoever. Happily using my password file with both a Windows machine and a Linux machine. While the interface could be better on a Mac, this is probably the most secure you can get in a password manager.

NEO979 You are not running the current version of KeePassX. This is a known issue that was fixed a very long time ago.

COPILOTO An awesome program. I use it for storing and creating passwords and it works like a charm. For a password program to work, several things have to be there: (1) it must be cross-platform (since you have to carry your passwords with you); (2) it cannot prevent you from exporting your data; (3) it has to be open-source, so the crypto can be analyzed, and finally (IMHO) (4) it needs to have a easy to use interface. KeePassX does it all.

IDJSTER I use the PC version in my office at work and the OS X version here at home. It works like a charm in both versions and does what it says it will. The price can't be beat either. Great app!
