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