KeePassX uses the KeePass2.x file format. It's supposed to be compatable.<br>
<br>
I haven't ever used KeePass2 directly, so can't speak to actual usage vs<br>
theory.<br>
<br>
I did just try KeePassXC ( I was recently reminded about it from an EFF<br>
guide ). The KeePassXC fork is getting better maintenance than KeePassX<br>
and has added some excellent features.<br>
<br>
It allows generating a random string from anywhere in the UI, so it's now<br>
easier to have random strings for email addresses and security questions.<br>
<br>
The random generator also has a multi-word passphrase option, which will<br>
be much easier for security questions that might have to be answered over<br>
the phone.<br>
<br>
KeePassXC has a merge option for merging in changes from another database<br>
file.<br>
<br>
I still don't see a way to sync out or export a sub-set of keys, but you<br>
can drag and drop accounts from one DB to another. Drag and drop moves it,<br>
but <ctrl><shift> drag and drop copies.<br>
<br>
Still not near as functional as it should be, but makes it much easier to<br>
keep files in sync.<br>
<br>

I just tried to open my KeePass2 database with KeePassX, and got the error<br>
message - Wrong signature.<br>
<br>
I keep my database on Dropbox and a key file on my hard drive. When I used<br>
KeePassX to access the database on Dropbox, it did not show up in the file<br>
finder until I selected all files. The database is .kdbx. I entered the<br>
location of the database key file when prompted, and then entered my<br>
password. That is when I go the error message.<br>
<br>
Are these two programs compatible, or am I stuck with the Windows/wine for<br>
my existing password repository?<br>
<br>
I looked at the import options for KeePassX, and all I see are KeePassX<br>
(xml), PWManager (pwm), or KWallwet (xml). Nothing for KeepPass2.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

I use KeePassXC (via the snap) and KeePass2Android. On my Ubuntu Desktop I<br>
have the file saved in the directory that NextCloud syncs and then have<br>
KeePass2Android also grab it from Nextcloud. Works great.<br>

I sync my files manually. Last I looked KeePassX still didn't have a<br>
viable sync option. A sync tool was probably the plugin I considered.<br>
<br>
Missing features include a tool for syncing files, a tool for exporting<br>
password sets and a use anywhere random stringerator.<br>
<br>
All easy to work around for an individual, but the sync features would<br>
help a lot of team use.<br>

I forgot to add that I also use KeePass2Android, and I forget how the two<br>
stay synchronized. But it works well.<br>
<br>
Maybe I will download the two, KeePassX and KeePassDroid, and see if they<br>
can read my KeePass2 database.<br>

My only interaction with the KeePas* suite resulted in not being able to<br>
read the database after an upgrade/update/something.<br>

I don’t remember which it was (2, x, whatever). The machine is at home.<br>
I’ll have to look, but I’m hoping we’ll get some reaction and info that<br>
maybe will point to a solution for me as well…<br>

There is an action in the database menu to import a keepass 1 format<br>
database. Perhaps the issue was that. I have a vague recollection of<br>
running into that at some point.<br>

Subject: KeePass2 versus KeePassX<br>
<br>
Happy New Year to everyone!!<br>
<br>
I have been using KeePass2 on my Ubuntu machine for over 10 years<br>
(through wine), and I just discovered KeePassX as a native application. I<br>
use Keepass2 primarily as a password backup, as I also use LastPass with<br>
the chrome extension for my day to day password manager.<br>
<br>
I have a couple of questions about moving from KeePass2/wine to KeePassX.<br>
<br>
I found in one post that the differences that the database files are<br>
binary compatible. (<a href="https://superuser.com/questio" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://superuser.com/questio</a><br>
ns/878902/whats-the-difference<wbr>-between-keepass-and-keepassx)<wbr>. Can anyone<br>
confirm this?<br>
<br>
The only other difference (other that GUI related stuff) is that KeePass2<br>
has plugins and KeePassX does not. I am not using any plugins now. Are<br>
there any that you think are really valuable to have, and would be a<br>
reason<br>
not to switch?<br>
<br>
Should I switch to KeePassX? I am assuming I can get rid of wine and save<br>
some disk space, and run a native application instead of a wine<br>
application.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Mark<br>
