I just installed (with some trepidation about installing Alpha code) KeePassX 2.0 Alpha 3 on OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I can report that KeePassX decrypts and opens my KeePass2 (.kdbx) format database without problems. I’ve needed this for a long time. I can now share the same USB drive hosted KeePass database across Mac and PC systems without the complexity of a Mono installation or the cost / performance issues of vitualisation. Thank you KeePassX Team – your work is very much appreciated.
It’s hard to picture how my life would look without this tool, tons of passwords were clogging my brain – thanks to keepassX i can remember birthdays now
We use keepass as a team with the kdbx file on a shared drive. Just installed alpha but does not lock the file like v0.4 did. This opens the door for overwrites. Are you planning on addressing this for release?
I’ve use KeePass2 on all of my devices everywhere, via dropbox. Windows PC, iPhones, iPad, and my Macs. Until I just found that KeePassX now supports the KeePass2 format, I was forced to use the Java version of KeePass2 on my Mac’s. What a relief! The UX on my Mac was awful with the Java version. I’d happy contribute to KeePassX development for OSX- thanks KeePassX team!
Installed KeePassX 2.0 Alpha 3 on OSX 10.8 after using KeePass on Windows. Despite being an alpha release, the application works very well. I could open and save to all my kdbx databases. There are still a few missing features (auto type, password generator, etc.) but these are minor and are obviously being worked on.
They say with food you eat with your eyes before you eat with your mouth e.g. if it doesn’t look good the chances are you won’t eat it. Same for me with software apps. Downloaded a few password keepers and installed but they’re either buggy, look flimsy, cluttered or un-professional in some way and in every case I’ve ditched them – mostly before using them.

Christmas wouldn’t be the same without keepassx. It is the best password app to use on all operating systems.

Great work! TXS. This calls for a donation.

Our whole team at FT uses keepassX software. It works great on our mac and pc computers.

However this is not the case with KeePassX – liked all I read about it after seeing user recommendations in a UK National newspaper (see – http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/think-your-internet-password-is-safe-think-again-8523105.html). Then read about the product on your website, downloaded and tried and hey-ho – I found a password app I liked. I’m a committed KeePassX user now. Thanks for a great product.
2.0 Alpha 3: basic features work great on 10.8.3! Thanks a huge bunch!
Must be the most useful software in the world for people who forgets passwords (like me)
KeePassX is a great tool. Thanks for all of your hard work.
Don’t leave home without it!
