KeePass works better is you set it up to use Auto-Type, which sends keystrokes to the window manager to type the passwords into the fields.

I've used keepass ona a daily basis. Auto type failed with my usage patterns - essentially I have multiple entry points per site (enterprise app) and each has a different titlebar text.

 I've switched from OS X a few months ago and I'm actually happier with KeePassX than with 1Password. I hated AgileBits for the 4.0 bloat redesign which made everything slower (this is a constant on OS X it seems). I have a pretty simple use case with KeePassX (no sync) and here are the solutions I've found to problems mentioned in this thread. Hope they're helpful! Hide KeePassX's window: Just open the settings, click the first two checkboxes ("system tray icon", "minimize to tray instead of taskbar") and add `keepassx -min` to your login script. It'll ask for your password and disappear. Title bar: KeePassX does use the browser title bar and it's sometimes not reliable. It's easily fixable, though. Install a Greasemonkey plugin to your browser and add scripts such as this one: // ==UserScript== // @name Google // @namespace google // @include https://accounts.google.com/* // https://accounts.google.com/* // @grant none // ==/UserScript== document.title += " | Google"; Browser plugin: I like how I could type "gmail" in Alfred and have 1Password do everything for me. I was able to reproduce that with a bash script that I call from my own launcher and it works just as well, if not faster. #!/bin/bash nohup xdg-open "https://example.com/" https://example.com/" >&/dev/null & wmctrl -a Opera sleep 1 xte 'keydown Hyper_R' 'key dollar' 'keyup Hyper_R' Last line simply simulates my KeePassX Auto-Type shortcut (which I got from OS X, yes). Update: are newlines, can't believe it's this hard to post code snippets here.

I do use that, but I like having the fields pre-filled, like Firefox does, so I can just press login.
