I was always skeptical of KeePass which is why I've been using KeePassX. It is just a simple Qt app.
Unfortunately there is no KeePassHttp support yet, so you can't hook it up to your browser, but there is a fork available with full support.

- alyandon 10y agoI'd probably switch to KeePassX instead of running KeePass in wine if the password generator were as flexible.

- the_af 10y agoWhy are you running KeePass in wine?
- Zuider 10y agoThat could make sense OP dual-booted and the KeePass app and database were installed on the NTFS partition.
- zokier 10y agoHow exactly is that supposed to make sense?
- Zuider 10y agoThe advantage is that you get to keep your passwords on a single database rather than having a separate copy of the database for each operating system. Synchronizing two separate copies of the database would be painful. An alternate solution is to keep a single password database on a FAT32 formatted partition or thumbdrive which is readable from both Operating systems.
- alyandon 10y agoCurrently, no - but I have actually used a setup like that before.
- alyandon 10y agoI have very complex password generation requirements for some of the services I need to access and KeePassX does not: 1) have nearly the same level of support for defining complex password generation rules 2) have support for saving said custom password generation as a profile So, KeePass + wine it is until I have a better alternative. :)
- zokier 10y agoBut why Wine? http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/keepass2 http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/keepass2
- alyandon 10y agoInertia. I've been using KeePass for years and I'm still on v1 because at the time the v1 database format was more well supported across all the "keepass" compatible apps on iOS, OS X, Android, etc. What I have works for me very well although I will admit that the v2 database format is supported well enough these days that I could migrate.
- zokier 10y agoOh right, I didn't realize that people were still hanging on the legacy version. Then I suppose Wine does actually make sense
- Pyramids 10y agoUnfortunately, the package is just a mono-wrapped version of keepass2, and in my experience runs equally as bad, if not worse, than keepass2 under WINE. Having used both for several months, I found the only workable option for myself was converting the database to KDB 1.x and using KeePassX.
- distances 10y agoDo you have to change those passwords so frequently? You could just use an external service for creating these when needed.
- RRRA 10y agoAnd KeepassX also supports version 2 and is MUCH lighter. :)
- SignalsFromBob 10y agoWhy have you always been skeptical of KeePass? What is it about KeePassX that reassured you? I looked at KeePassX several years ago but it didn't have as many security features as KeePass. For example, KeePass supports entering the password via secure desktop where KeePassX didn't.
- nwah1 10y agoKeePassX doesn't do auto-updating, for one. I am kind of a purist when it comes to software, and anything that feels clunky and bloated I'm just going to assume is made by people with insufficient competence. And truly, nobody is competent enough on their own, it requires a community. And it is much easier to collaborate through github than through... however it is that KeePass does it.
- SignalsFromBob 10y agoKeePass doesn't do auto-updating either, fwiw.
