I have been using the KeePassX password manager on CentOS 6 and 7 for some time and it works pretty well. On my Windows machine I use KeePass which offers a number of features missing from KeePassX, I also sync the database between several machines, including Android units where I use keepass2android. Database compatibility is thus required. KeePassX, however, does not seem to be maintained any more, the last update was just a bit less than a year ago. It also has some annoying bugs, including where switching keyboards on the computer corrupts the username and the password if they include any character outside the ASCII range. There seems to be a community fork called KeePassXC and I would like to ask if anyone is using this password manager? It is not in EPEL, nor in any other standard repository, only through an unofficial repository at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bugzy/keepassxc/,
I have been using KeePassXC (though mostly on Debian) for quite a while now and am happy to report it works well. Nothing springs to mind that annoys me and it's a decent drop in replacement. My setup sounds pretty similar to your own (also use keepass2android, though not KeePass on Windows). I would be inclined to compile from source yourself rather than use an unofficial repo you have no reason to trust for such a sensitive application. I'm not trying to besmirch the good name of copr.fedorainfracloud.org/bugzy but I've never heard of them and if you hadn't either that would give me pause for thought before I let their binaries at my passwords.

I replaced KeePassX 1.x with this with a extra step of upgrading to KeePassX 2.x first. //Zdenek

I briefly installed the above package to evaluate and also intend to rebuild it for my own use. Another concern for me was the use of the 'centos' dist tag when the package clearly isn't a 'centos' package. I've got as far as confirming the validity of the source tarball in the SRPM and checking the SPEC file. Everything looks fine, but as previously mentioned I would still rebuild such a sensitive package for my own use. The only other potential issue I see is that the latest KeePassXC requires a newer version of libgcrypt, which the repo above packages as libgcrypt16 (libgcrypt version 1.6.6) on el7. The release of 1.6 broke ABI compatibility with version 1.5 in el7. I have not tried building KeePassXC against libgcrypt-1.5 in el7 to know if that is viable.> On Fri 15 Sep 2017 @ 21:43, H wrote: >> I have been using the KeePassX password manager on CentOS 6 and 7 for >> some time and it works pretty well.

You may have reasons to prefer KeePassX over KeePass 2, though. -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan at storm.ca>

My password database is synchronized between variety of systems, and I can view/edit it on: CentOS, FreeBSD, MS Windows, Android (and should be able on any derivatives of those). I didn't try iOS as currently I don't have a need in that. Incidentally, does anybody know if there is any necessity in keepassx to be patched? Did I read the original post correctly: there is no activity on the development site for long time? Should there be any? (As, I would say for comparison: cvs is so established software that there is no development to expect, only if there are any security holes found those need to be patched). Any insight on KeePassX anybody?

How does it compare feature wise with KeePass on Windows?
