TOMMY_B I was so excited when I found KeePassX - a password/secured information manager was the only thing left keeping me from the goal of being at least 95% platform agnostic in my computer use but it was the most crucial piece as I have over 300 entries in my database, all my accounts for everything online and offline, financial data, software reg codes, credit card no.s, voicemail passwords, key punch passwords for the garage door LOL, there is so much stuff in there that I couldn't step away from relying on a specific OS - OS X is my preferred system - without it impacting me daily because there are next to no cross platform password mgrs out there, let alone open source and free. It's still in its infancy - not even yet at v. 1.0 - but in its current incarnation, it's feature-rich, and relatively stable on my Intel and my G5 machines (it did quit out on me once - TIP: CHOOSE THE PREFERENCE FOR SAVE DATABASE AFTER EVERY CHANGE!! and you'll mitigate that inconvenience). It works seamlessly on Linux as well as with KeePass for Windows, the only issue was when I opened a database in Windows, my preferences and whatnot for columns of data to show and some custom entry icons were missing. But the real meat, what I care about, the data in the database, was wholly intact, not a glitch or funky added character or extra line returns. It was great. I've been using it for about 6 months now without a single problem. My data is fully intact no matter which OS I open the database under, always. I've no concern that I'll ever lose anything through any fault of the applications. FOR MAC USERS CONCERNED ABOUT EXPORT FUNCTIONALITY: There IS a way to get your data out should you need it. The text export of KeePassX is basically just a database print out, the XML... well, not sure what use that is in the format it comes out looking like. But since people generally don't hop around from PW manager to PW manager once they find one that works and they trust & really like, this is should be a suitable workaround: KeePass for Windows offers CSV export (KeePass X does not) so ask a buddy to get on his box and use KeePass for Windows Portable (leaves no trace of you ever being there)to export your database to CSV. Or if you have an Intel Mac and access to a copy of a Windows install CD, download Virtual Box, load up a Windows virtual machine, and do as I just described. Just about all other database apps can import CSV. (Version 0.4.1) |
