KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX, a native cross-platform port of KeePass Password Safe, with the goal to extend and improve it with new features and bugfixes to provide a feature-rich, fully cross-platform and modern open-source password manager.
KeePassXC currently uses the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format as its native file format in versions 3.1 and 4. Database files in version 2 can be opened, but will be upgraded to a newer format. KeePass 1.x (.kdb) databases can be imported into a .kdbx file, but this process is one-way.
- 2 points 1 month ago edited 1 month ago I've was looking for this for a while too. Some self hosted tool that you could create user accounts with certain access, and flags to change passwords in those areas when you remove a user.
- Cross platform (not KeePassXC specific) 2.3 is the first major release since the split from KeePassX. 2020-08-18 4 minutes #self-hosting #security #containers.

KeePassX 0.4.4 Security Update released
Two security flaws have been discovered in KeePassX 0.4.3.
Version 2.0 has a different codebase and is not affected.
- CVE-2015-8359: DLL Preloading vulnerability on Windows
The version of Qt bundled with KeePassX 0.4.3 is vulnerable to a DDL preloading attack.
This vulnerability only affects KeePassX on Windows.
If successfully exploited, arbitrary code can be executed in the context of KeePassX.
KeePassX 0.4.4 ships with Qt 4.8.7 and employs additional hardening measures.
Thanks to Trenton Ivey from SecureWorks for reporting this vulnerability to us. - CVE-2015-8378: Canceling XML export function creates export as '.xml' file
When canceling the 'Export to > KeePassX XML file' function the cleartext passwords were still exported.
In this case the password database was exported as the file '.xml' in the current working directory (often $HOME or the directory of the database).
Originally reported as Debian bug #791858
KeePassX 0.4.4 fixes both vulnerabilities.
It is available as a source tarball and Windows / Mac OS X binaries: Download
The OS X bundle contains only a 64bit binary (compared to 0.4.3 which shipped as i386 and powerpc).
The fix for CVE-2015-8378 is also available as a patch: CVE-2015-8378.patch
Keepassxc 2 5 18 Esv
We will still provide security support for the 0.4 series for some time but please consider updating to version 2.0 instead.
KeePassX 2.0 has arrived
We're proud to announce the first stable release of the KeePassX 2 series after several years of development.
KeePassX 2.0 is using the new .kdbx (same as KeePass 2) database format.
You can import your .kdb database from 0.4 from the Database > Import KeePass 1 database.
This is a one-way process though. You can't migrate back to the .kdb format.
New features include:
- Multiple attachments per entry
- Add custom key/value pairs to entries
- Open multiple database in one window
KeePassX 2.0 has been rewritten from scratch so some features (like showing expired passwords) are still missing.
The important changes compared to beta 2 are:
- Improve UI of the search edit.
- Clear clipboard when locking databases. [#342]
- Enable Ctrl+M shortcut to minimize the window on all platforms. [#329]
- Show a better message when trying to open an old database format. [#338]
- Fix global auto-type behavior with some window managers.
- Show global auto-type window on the active desktop. [#359]
- Disable systray on OS X. [#326]
- Restore main window when clicking on the OS X docker icon. [#326]
You can fetch the new release from the downloads page.
KeePassX 2.0 Beta 2 released
Due to some important bugfixes we are releasing another beta.
Hopefully this will be the last before the final release.
The most important changes are: Everweb 2 90 degree.
- Fix crash when locking with search UI open [#309]
- Fix file locking on Mac OS X [#327]
- Set default extension when saving a database [#79, #308]
Please test the new version and report any issues at https://www.keepassx.org/dev/.
Download:
- Full list of files includes GPG signatures (signed by 0x83135D45)
You can also checkout the latest source code from our git repository at https://github.com/keepassx/keepassx.
Beware: this is a beta release. While I believe the code base is already rather stable make sure to regularly backup your database.
First 2.0 Beta released
We are proud to announce the first beta release of version 2.0.
The most important changes are:
- Remember entry column sizes [#159]
- Add translations
- Support opening attachments directly
- Support cmd:// URLs [#244]
- Protect opened databases with a file lock [#18]
- Export to csv files [#57]
- Add optional tray icon [#153]
- Allow setting the default auto-type sequence for groups [#175]
- Make the kdbx parser more lenient
- Remove –password command line option [#285]
Special thanks to all the contributers who reported bugs, translated KeePassX and submitted pull requests.
I hope to keep this release cycle much shorter than the previous ones. Only bugfixes and translation updates
will make it into 2.0 at this point.
The development of version 2.1 will start in the master branch while 2.0 will be maintained in it's own branch.
As Qt 4 will be EOL soon KeePassX 2.1 will only support Qt 5.
Please test the new version and report any issues at https://www.keepassx.org/dev/.

Beta slowly approaching
Several people asked us by mail or in the comments if the project is still alive.
I can assure you that we haven't abandoned it!
It is progressing slower than I would like but it is just a hobby project with only few developers after all.
You can follow the development on our tracker or on Github.
That said I hope to be able to release the first beta in the not too distant future.
The main blockers are two features: CSV export and file locking (so you can't accidentally overwrite a database that has been opened by another user).
After the beta release we will focus on bugfixes in preparation for the final version 2.0.
That's it for now. I'll try to post updates about the development progress more regularly from now on.
Thanks for sticking with us!
