KeePass and the variance
KeePass is my favourite for password manager. In Linux, there are KeePassX and KeePass 2. There are several differences.
KeePass has two versions, they are KeePass version 1 and Keepass version 2, namely KeePass 2. They are using different file formats: kdb and kdbx. KeePass is natively runnable in Windows; KeePass 2 requires .NET Framework 2.0 (andĀ above) or Mono (and above). That is why, KeePass 2 is able to run in Linux. Then, KeePassX is a port of KeePass, so that it works as cross-platform, including Windows. However, KeePassX is not based on KeePass 2. Thus, it cannot read/write kdbx. But, there is KeePassX version 2 in the alpha stage, which is available in GitHub.
