Main PageKeePassX 0.4.3 has just been released.
It fixes a serious regression introduced in 0.4.2:
Editing groups doesn’t work and might crash the application.
Please Download the new version if you have already upgraded to 0.4.2.
A Mac OS build will follow shortly.
Update:
Mac OS build is available, Windows build is on my todo list.
Update 2:
Windows build is available, Mac OS build has been updated to fix the wrong version number.
Speaking of Mac OS X, could you please add version 10.6 to the download page? KeePassX works with Mac OS X 10.6 but some users get confused if 10.6 is not explicitly mentioned.
Do you plan to compile a Windows version of KeePassX?
@eugenez KeePass is the original version of this, originally for windows. Just download the 1.X version program and it should work flawlessly with your KeePassX databases.
Please add a feature to open/minimize KeePassX window by hot keys. It would be very handy.
@eugenez there is a windows version already, go to http://keepass.info
Yeah i know that there is also KeePass version which you can use, but i don’t want to! I just want to use the same program i use on Linux and on Mac, on Windows and that is KeePassX. So please make stop making Windows version of it.
What is up with the missing builds for this version?
Thanks for building a Mac version! When you unpack the .dmg though, it’s v0.4.2 instead of 3. Could you repack?
Guys, thanks for the advice, of course, but I’m not asking about that. I want to use the same program in different systems (I have computers with Windows, and with Linux too). KeePaasX 0.4.1 for Win exists (http://sourceforge.net/projects/keepassx/files/KeePassX/0.4.1/KeePassX-0.4.1-win32.zip/download), why not compile latest version for Windows?
@Niko – totally agree
Oh sorry i just saw, that the last sentence in my other post, means not what i wanted it to mean. I wanted to say, please don’t stop making Windows version of KeePassX.
I’ve been using the 0.4.0 for the last year to keep my passwords in sync between my Mac and my PC (yep, saving the KeePassX file in my DropBox folder!).
I have to agree with Niko and Eugenez: please keep the Windows builds coming! I know I’ve recommended this to several users like myself that use both Macs and PC’s, and this is by FAR the best way to have a clean and simple password management solution that works across both platforms.
I’m not sure what point people are making, but as I understand it, KeePass for Windows and Linux are developed by two different teams. So raising questions over the Windows version in the KeePassX site is like going to General Motors to talk about your Ford. They both get you to the same place, but they are two different vehicles.
(I also use both builds interchangeably.)
@Stephen Mikesell
See /src/main_win32.cpp in sources archive (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/keepassx/keepassx-0.4.3.tar.gz). It is cross-platform software, and comparison of GM and Ford have nothing to do with it. IMHO.
I am another person who would like to use the Windows binary versions of the latest KeepassX. I know there is Keepass which is more suitable for Windows, but Keepass 1.x doesn’t have support giving icons to individual entries and Keepass 2.x relies on .NET (I sometimes need to access my passwords on public computers where .NET is not available. KeepassX is the best solution for me in that case.
Please keep the compiled Windows versions coming.
When opening the KeePassX-0.4.3.dmg is displayed the KeePassX-0.4.2 not KeePassX-0.4.3, is this normal?
Really, why is there still no 0.4.3 for Windows? I know that this question has been asked and I am aware of some answers. But, I am also one of those that want to use completely the same program from Linux and from Windows. I do not want to care about possible future inconsistencies between the DB formats and the like. I simply want the KeePassX and I want to be able to install the last version of it both under Linux and under Windows. So, where is the problem, why is there still no KeePassX 0.4.3 for Windows? Thank you.
forget it! i dont think there will be a windows version in next time… you should switch to another PW manager on win machines… i dont use keepassx anymore… sorry, but, thats the downside of free open source development: the developers can do what they want! please dont misunderstand me, this fact is completely okay! its another development method… but here you can see what problems can occur for the users.
I also am looking for KeePassX for Windows.
I know all about KeePass for Windows, but I depend heavily on the XML import in KeePassX and, whether in principle the XML import is identical or not to that of KeePass (and I can find no information on this point) to import data which does not originate in a KeePass/KeePassX export; it originates from another program that was designed some time ago to produce KeePassX-compatible XML. I don’t want to take the risk of using some other XML import; I’d much rather continue to use KeePassX on Windows.
This is not a complaint; I acknowledge all the excellent work done by the volunteers who produce this excellent code. It is simply a message of support for maintaining a Windows build of the lastest KeePassX. Obviously a lot of people use it and like it.
Thank you
we want KeepassX 0.4.3 for Windows…
we need KeepassX 0.4.3 for Windows…
we love KeepassX…
do not abandon us…
please…
make it.
Please cool down.
Just because there is a new version doesn’t mean the old one suddenly stopped working.
I will provide a windows build soon.
The version in OS X is wrong simply because I misunderstood sniperbeamer when I built it. We released 0.4.2 and due to a regression we had to fix and repackage. I assumed we were going to release it as 0.4.2 again but I guess he decided to release it as 0.4.3 instead.
I will repackage as 0.4.3 and upload the new build — it just requires an update to 2 different source files so it is a very simple change to make.
Thanks for build for Windows!
THANK YOU so much for the win build!!!
Thank you for the Windows build; we appreciate it.
thank you! but it crashes very often doing “sort groups”. os x 10.5.8
Check out the Mac thread http://keepassx.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1920 for an unofficial build of 0.4.3 for Mac OS X with Auto-Type.
A patch has been submitted for inclusion in the official build as well.
Hello, how can I sync my keepassx db between win and linux?
Thanks.
@moderators: this looks like a good FAQ Q&A.
@Moises
I don’t sync, I carry a USB key containing the db (between home and work) and make a backup once in a while. You decide if the special pw file is on the USB key (defeats purpose) or *only* on your machines. On Mac I use KeePassX and on win I currently use KeePass 1.x (not 2.x) so the same db works as long as your shortcuts are set up correctly.
Maybe you ask because you want to “electronically” keep them sync’d ?
I just found out about the win version of KeePassX today and I got used to the auto-type (which was part of KeePass already) but the team uses KeePass and as long as they talk to each other…
Really appreciate the Windows build! I like the interface conformity while having this on all of my machines (Windows 7, Max OS X and Ubuntu). I am used to not having the auto type working, so doesn’t bother me.
To those looking to sync their kdb’s, give DropBox a try! Secure it with a strong cryptic password from KeePass (ironic almost) and download the client on all machines. Files are not available publically and they encrypt connections and the DropBox itself. Since the files are synced across all machines, you are literally also “backing” it up to multiple sources. Should you for some reason lose access to DropBox, they fubar it up somehow (which has never happened) if you don’t have an internet connection, the last updated version is still physically on each device.
Love Keepassx, I use it across multiple platforms as well. An iphone app to at a minimum to read the database file would be spectacular…
Keep up the great work.
I love your app. I use it on Win and Linux and have used it on OSX. Thanks for an awesome app.
Is it possible to open a .KDBX file with KeePassX yet? Unfortunately I started using the new version of KeePass on Windows and haven’t yet found a way to open my .KDBX database file on my Macs… Any ideas? Suggestions? Solutions?
It awesome having this on OSX however whats with the windows not being modal and staying on top when you unlock the workspace, I find its always hidden under my other apps when I try to access it, kotkeys would be awesome but also an option to keep the window always on top when given focus.
I recently switched from Windows to MAC and have been using KeePass 2.1 on Windows for some time. The windows version seems to have more features that are quite nice. (history of files opened, allows you to open more than one db at the same time, concurrent read/write access). Are there plans to incorporate some of these features into the MAC version or am I still a MAC newb who hasn’t figured this version out?
Thanks, its a great product.
I appreciate the program, but sadly, it doesn’t fit my needs.
I wanted it to open my Windows Keepass 2 .kdbx files, but it doesn’t open them.
I repeat:
THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR .KDBX FILES (KeePass 2 databases)
Hopefully, a solution will soon be provided; as this is really troublesome.
Nonetheless, a big thanks so far!
No harsh feelings, just mentioning
Hello,
Just dual booted a Netbook with Windows 7 & Ubuntu Lucid, needless to Ubuntu is now the preferred OS!
I use Keepass 2 on windows PCs which is great – I removed Mono so can’t use Keepass 2 in Lucid.
I converted my database to Keepass 1 from Windows and it runs smoothly with KeepassX but Keepass 2 database support would be great as some of the more advanced entries do not work.
Just downloaded and tried KeepassX on my Win7 64 bit machine. Doesn’t work well repeated mouse clicks on the menu get nothing. Can’t enter anything in the search box. I use KeePass 2 and it works fine. Was wanting something I can use on both Win and Ubuntu sharing the same database. Was willing to move everything back to .KDB but it will have to do better than this!
