I 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.
- alyandon 10y agoOften enough that I don't want to have to rely on a separate script or service to generate the passwords for me and save the profiles and then copy the result into KeePass entries.
