KeePass 2.43 password manager released. Install KeePass password manager on Ubuntu Linux Systems. KeePass 2.43 mainly features user interface and integration enhancements, and various other minor new features and improvements. Hashes and signatures for integrity checking are available, and program binaries are digitally signed (Authenticode). New translations are available, too.
KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX, the cross-platform port of KeePass for Windows. Every feature works cross-platform and was thoroughly tested on multiple systems to provide users with the same look and feel on every supported operating system. This includes the beloved Auto-Type feature.
The complete database is always encrypted with the industry-standard AES (alias Rijndael) encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. KeePassXC uses a database format that is compatible with KeePass Password Safe. Your wallet works offline and requires no Internet connection.
