KeePassX Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Auto-Type supported on Mac OS X or Windows?

A: No, Auto-Type is currently supported on Linux only.

Q: What password database formats are compatible with KeePassX?

A: KeePassX currently uses the KeePass 1.x (Classic) password database format as the native format. It can also import KeePassX 1.x XML exports, PwManager databases and KWallet XML databases. KeePass 2.x database format is not supported.

Q: Can I open KeePass 2.x password databases with KeePassX?

A: No, KeePassX does not support the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format currently. However, you can create an export in KeePass 1.x database format (.kdb) from KeePass 2.x, which KeePassX can read (and use as the native password database).
