keepassx.org shows the latest release as October 2016 (and the main page shows "2005-2017" so someone is updating it), if I found the right keepass 2 (keepass.info) it was updated in June 2017. I do remember receiving a security alert to upgrade keepassx (since I use it) quite some time back (but not years ago). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Valeri Galtsev" <galtsev at kicp.uchicago.edu> To: "centos" <centos at centos.org> Sent: Monday, September 18, 2017 10:54:05 AM Subject: Re: [CentOS] KeePassX replacement On Sat, September 16, 2017 1:45 pm, Yves Bellefeuille wrote:> H <agents at meddatainc.com> wrote: > >> I have been using the KeePassX password manager on CentOS 6 and 7 for >> some time and it works pretty well.

A cloud enabled manager would be okay I guess if I could move the password database to say my own private cloud and be able to access it from there from all platforms. KeepassX seemed like a good choice until I found out it didn't do Android. Suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks. -- //Sorin

Big annoyance for me since I need to make sure to always switch back to the US English keyboard when using AutoFill.
