After KeePass/L became a cross platform application the name was not appropriate anymore and therefore, on 22 March 2006 it has been changed. Originally KeePassX was called KeePass/L for Linux since it was a port of Windows password manager Keepass Password Safe.

This makes the use of that application even more favourable. KeePassX uses a database format that is compatible with KeePass Password Safe. Therefore the saved information can be considered as quite safe.

The complete database is always encrypted either with AES (alias Rijndael) or Twofish encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. Especially someone who generates passwords frequently will appreciate this feature. The password generator is very customizable, fast and easy to use. KeePassX offers a little utility for secure password generation. The integrated search function allows to search in a single group or the complete database.

Furthermore the entries are sorted in groups, which are customizable as well. For a better management user-defined titles and icons can be specified for each single entry. user names, passwords, urls, attachments and comments in one single database. KeePassX saves many different information e.g. It has a light interface, is cross platform and published under the terms of the GNU General Public License. KeePassX is an application for people with extremly high demands on secure personal data management. Just in case you do not know what KeePassX is, here is a short description…
