There should be a keepass2 option for your OS, that is what I install and use on Kubuntu, and I know it is fully compatible with the windows keepass2.

Never mind...I found this project which converts KeePass2 files to KeePassX files. https://github.com/dvorka/keepass2-to-keepassx

Not sure I want to trust the process, as I would have no idea how to make sure "something wasn't lost in the translation."

I just tried to open my KeePass2 database with KeePassX, and got the error message - Wrong signature. 

I keep my database on Dropbox and a key file on my hard drive. When I used KeePassX to access the database on Dropbox, it did not show up in the file finder until I selected all files. The database is .kdbx. I entered the location of the database key file when prompted, and then entered my password. That is when I go the error message. 

Are these two programs compatible, or am I stuck with the Windows/wine for my existing password repository?

I looked at the import options for KeePassX, and all I see are KeePassX (xml), PWManager (pwm), or KWallwet (xml). Nothing for KeepPass2.

Thanks!

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

moin moin Mark,

I sync my files manually. Last I looked KeePassX still didn't have a
viable sync option. A sync tool was probably the plugin I considered.

Missing features include a tool for syncing files, a tool for exporting
password sets and a use anywhere random stringerator.

All easy to work around for an individual, but the sync features would
help a lot of team use.

ciao,

I forgot to add that I also use KeePass2Android, and I forget how the two
stay synchronized. But it works well.

Maybe I will download the two, KeePassX and KeePassDroid, and see if they
can read my KeePass2 database.

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

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



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

Subject: KeePass2 versus KeePassX

Happy New Year to everyone!!

I have been using KeePass2 on my Ubuntu machine for over 10 years
(through wine), and I just discovered KeePassX as a native application. I
use Keepass2 primarily as a password backup, as I also use LastPass with
the chrome extension for my day to day password manager.

I have a couple of questions about moving from KeePass2/wine to KeePassX.

I found in one post that the differences that the database files are
binary compatible. (https://superuser.com/questio
ns/878902/whats-the-difference-between-keepass-and-keepassx). Can anyone
confirm this?

The only other difference (other that GUI related stuff) is that KeePass2
has plugins and KeePassX does not. I am not using any plugins now. Are
there any that you think are really valuable to have, and would be a reason
not to switch?

Should I switch to KeePassX? I am assuming I can get rid of wine and save
some disk space, and run a native application instead of a wine application.

Thanks!

Mark
