| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 1 KeePassX is an application for people with extremly high demands on |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 2 secure personal data management. It has a light interface, is cross |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 3 platform and published under the terms of the GNU General Public License. |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 4 |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 5 KeePassX saves many different information e.g. user names, passwords, |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 6 urls, attachments and comments in one single database. For a better |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 7 management user-defined titles and icons can be specified for each |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 8 single entry. Furthermore the entries are sorted in groups, which |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 9 are customizable as well. The integrated search function allows to |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 10 search in a single group or the complete database. |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 11 KeePassX offers a little utility for secure password generation. |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 12 The password generator is very customizable, fast and easy to use. |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 13 Especially someone who generates passwords frequently will appreciate |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 14 this feature. |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 15 |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 16 The complete database is always encrypted either with AES (alias Rijndael) |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 17 or Twofish encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. Therefore the saved |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 18 information can be considered as quite safe. KeePassX uses a database |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 19 format that is compatible with KeePass Password Safe. This makes the use |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 20 of that application even more favourable. |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 21 |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 22 Originally KeePassX was called KeePass/L for Linux since it was a port |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 23 of Windows password manager Keepass Password Safe. After KeePass/L became |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 24 a cross platform application the name was not appropriate anymore and |
| Hans-G?nter@22987 | 25 therefore, on 22 March 2006 it has been changed. |
