Unfortunately, the developer of Keepass has made the choice of using .NET for development, which means it's pretty much Windows only. There are some non-official clients for Mac OS X and Linux but they don't work great (missing features like auto-completion or browser integration). I'm still using Keepass on these platforms though, but I can see how a truly cross-platform solution like 1Password is appealing.

Does 1Password have a Linux client? Looking at their page, they appear to only support Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.

  No, but it runs fine using Wine. I created a shell script to launch it with a key-stroke. If you want browser integration, you can run Firefox in Wine as well (or Chrome).

    Just opening the 1PasswordAnywhere html file in Firefox doesn't work. Something about Firefox's local file access policy. I serve the HTML file with `python -m SimpleHTTPServer` and visit localhost:8000 to use it.

I use KeepassX on Linux, Windows and Android.

  I have been using KeepassX for years on Linux, Android and OSX. No problems anywhere. Yes, the interface isn't the most '2013 flat UI webapps' whatever, but it's simple, and works. We're currently moving our office over to KeepassX for our lists, also iOS clients, Windows and for a while I had it quite happily on my java feature-phone. (Entering the master password on the feature-phone was a bit fiddly though...)

Keepass runs reasonably well using mono. There are some bugs that would cause problems for real power users - for example, opening multiple databases with the same instance of 2.x is bad - but for basic use it's more than good enough. If you're on an ubuntu or debian, I use jtaylor's PPA: https://launchpad.net/~jtaylor/+archive/keepass https://launchpad.net/~jtaylor/+archive/keepass

There are Keepass ports for every major OS. Since it's open source, anybody can implement the client.

KeepPass2 is actually built on Mono, the open source multi-platform .net clone. It just happens to work with M$ .net. I have it running on OS X, Linux, Android and Windows, all at the same time, while singing changed across platforms with secure Web Dav based cloud storage. Took me 20 min to set up on all four devices. As someone who had their passwords leaked by an attack against one of the largest commercial password safes just a few years ago (heard of pwnedlist or the LastPass beaches?) I have been happily using KeePass as amuch more secure FOSS alternative with equal (if not more) functionality ever since, without any hangups to speak of.

As other said, Keepass2 works under Mono. Even better, Keepass2 is included in the Ubuntu official repos. And it runs pretty well. Autotyping your password into other programs also works. I really like Keepass2. sudo apt-get install keepass2 Good luck!
