KeePassC

Actual stable release from May 16, 2018: v1.8.0

My main focus has switched to reimplement this project in Rust as it allows me to realize my vision of a secure password manager which is not possible with Python. However I will publish bug fixes and answer bug reports if there are any. As KeePassC is stable and feature-complete this shouldn't be a reason for not using it anymore.

Features:

KeePassC is a password manager fully compatible to KeePass v.1.x and KeePassX. That is, your password database is fully encrypted with AES.

KeePassC is written in Python 3 and comes with a curses-interface. It is completely controlled with the keyboard (vim-like keys are supported).

Some features are:

• AES encryption of the database with password and/or keyfile
• Included customizable password generator
• KeePassX and KeePass v.1.x compatible (KeePass v2.x planned)
• Database entries are sorted in alphabetically sorted groups
• Subgroups of groups
• Entries are identified by a title
• Search entries by this title and show matches in an own group
• Set expiration dates to remind you that a new password is needed
• Unicode support
• Copy username and password to clipboard
• Auto-locking workspace and self-deleting clipboard with adjustable delays
• Options to remember last database and last keyfile
• Open URLs directly in your standard browser
• Optional use of vim/ranger-like keys
• Simple command line interface
• Network functionality including multiuser support
• The last can be used to omit password entering, too

An introduction can be found here.

Install:

If all dependencies are fulfilled type 'python setup.py install' in the root directory of KeePassC.

There are packages in the ArchLinux User Repository:

• Stable
• Development

Usage:

Start the program with 'keepassc'. To get help type 'F1' while KeePassC is executed and you will see usage information to the current window (not in main menu).

A small commandline interface is available, too. Type 'keepassc -h'.

Dependencies:

• Python 3 (>=3.3)
• kppy http://raymontag.github.com/kppy
• xsel (optional but necessary if you want to copy usernames and passwords to clipboard) http://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/software/xsel/
