== 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.
