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!
Mark
