Unlike the original KeePass program for Windows, which was also available as a Linux port, KeePassX is a complete rewrite. It&#8217;s advantage is that is does not rely on <a href=\"https:\/\/wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mono_(Software)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mono<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since KeePassX seems not really actively maintained, its fork <a href=\"https:\/\/keepassxc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KeePassXC<\/a> is the recommended alternative to go for. It even introduces a new browser plugin called KeePassXC-Browser that integrates with Chrome\/Chromium, Firefox and Vivaldi, providing improved security for the exchange of login data compared to its predecessor KeePassHTTP.<\/p>\n<h3>Storage location und backup<\/h3>\n<p>KeePassXC stores the entire database in one file with the extension *.kbdx at a location of your choice. This file should be backed up, for example to a thumbdrive or into the cloud. Since version 2, *.kbdx files are used. The previous version (*.kdb) may still be imported.<\/p>\n<p>While KeePassXC remembers all stored passwords, one should not forget the master password to unlock the safe. Alternatively it is possible to use a certificate or authenticate with a JubiKey, allthough <a href=\"https:\/\/keepassxc.org\/docs\/#faq-yubikey-2fa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">no real two factor authentification<\/a> is possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Documentation<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/keepassxc.org\/docs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dokumentation<\/a> for KeePassXC is available online. The quickstart instructions are not up to date as far as browser plugins are concerned, the FAQ does better. The Wiki is geared towards developers.<\/p>\n<h3>How to install KeePassXC<\/h3>\n<p>While KeePassXC is available from Ubuntu&#8217;s Universe repository, as a Snap or AppImage, the latest version is always available in the official Ubuntu PPA:<\/p>\n<pre id=\"yui_3_10_3_1_1529662318120_70\" class=\"command subordinate\">sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phoerious\/keepassxc\r\nsudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt install keepassxc<\/pre>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KeePassX is an open-source password safe for Linux, Windows and OS-X.
