Description

KeePassX is a tool to store and manage passwords. It is freely available for Linux/MacOS/Windows from http://www.keepassx.org/.

How KeePassX works

  • KeePassX can create/open/edit/save password-databases.
  • A password-database is basically an encrypted file, where you can store your various usernames/passwords/URLs.
  • A password-database can only be opened if you know the Master-Password. The Master Password is the key to all your stored passwords.
  • If you forgot your Master-Password, you cannot access your stored passwords anymore.

Creating a Password Database

  • open KeePassX.

  • click on "File" --> "New Database..."

  • you will be prompted to set a master key. Input your master password (the master password for all your other stored passwords). Then click "OK"
  • repeat your master password. click "OK"
