# KeePassX User Guide

For version 0.4.0.

## KeePassX project in short

KeePassX (KPX) is a cross-platform password manager program. It is mainly designed to be used on *nix platforms, such as Linux and Mac OS X.

KeePassX currently uses same the database file format as the KeePass 1.x (Classic) password manager software for Windows. Although a Windows build for KPX exists, it is recommended to use the original KeePass on Windows, as it has more features and is more matured on the platform.

Please note that KeePassX and KeePass are entirely separate projects, maintained by two separate groups of people and consequently, share no common codebase.

Thank you for using KeePassX!
