I am very pleased to see that people are still invested in this project!<p>I&#x27;d really like love products like lastpass and the like, but a local only, self administered solution is, at least to me, the obvious way to go.<p>Also, they have a &quot;donate&quot; button on their site, just donated a tad, and I encourage others to do the same!

If there was one thing that ought to be improved, that I haven&#x27;t seen any improvement in thus far, it&#x27;s the UI.<p>It&#x27;s hideous and uses a completely wrong metaphor. It&#x27;s like an MFC wizard app from 1996. Toolbar buttons for creating new password databases? Requiring manual saves, so that it loses your password if you accidentally close without saving? The way it&#x27;s currently set up, it thinks it&#x27;s an editor for password databases, you know, for all those password databases you edit on a daily basis, email around the company, etc.<p>It ought to have a search-oriented interface, perhaps bound to a hotkey, perhaps with pinning of commonly used passwords - almost anything would be better than the treeview &#x2F; listview combo. Auto-save should be the default, as well as versioning, and it should be damn hard to lose passwords even when your database is stored on dropbox and has conflicting updates from multiple locations.<p>It makes me angry every time I have to use it.

I currently use KeePass on Windows, Linux, and Android. Can anyone explain what KeePassX is and what its relationship with KeePass is? All I can seem to find is that it&#x27;s a cross platform version of KeePass (which KeePass is for my needs) and only supports the older database format.

I use both KeePass and KeePassX (and KeePassDroid on my phone) -- I should make some donations tonight.<p>I&#x27;ll be really, really, REALLY happy when KeePassX works with browser plugins like regular KeePass does, so you don&#x27;t have to always copy and paste things.

Does anyone know where to submit a bug report (or a pull request even) for this?<p>I noticed that you can&#x27;t hold down a key on OS X to view the special characters menu. (Does KeePassX not support non-ascii chars?)

I updated last night by pure chance (from 2.0 alpha 3)! I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it now works great with Retina screens. The only feature I miss is xml import&#x2F;export (there&#x27;s an undocumented utility for export, but I had to compile from sources to find it). It works great for my usecase anyway (lots of separate databases for different clients, saving files from both OSX and Win). A little gem! Shame I don&#x27;t really know C++ or I&#x27;d contribute.

Seriously happy about this software - lastpass and its commercial ilk: why would I trust my life (ok passwords) to a car where I&#x27;m not allowed to open the hood?

I&#x27;ve used this at two previous jobs as it was the only one that could open the same file from Windows and OS X. Nice to see it&#x27;s still going!

I sync my KBDX database using Dropbox. Is there an option to open the DB file directly in the browser (in RO mode, of course)?

Does somebody know of a self-hosted version of LastPass? I like being able to login anywhere and have my passwords available.

I found keypass four or five years ago, and I&#x27;ve been using it since. It&#x27;s a great little tool, glad to see that people are still working on it.
