And? Any comments on this? I used Authpass on my iPhone and saved the database. Now I can't open it with Keepass 2.5 on my company PC. I am not allowed to install Authpass on this PC. What should I do now?

I have been able to open it with keepassx. Then move all credentials in into a new database. I think I did this by exporting my data and then importing that into a new kdbx file, but do not know for sure. Then, save it and replace your corrupted file.

Doesn't work for me. Also KeepassX can't open my file. Only AuthPass can open it. This incompatibility is bad. Luckily I have an older version of my file so I can use this and update it manually with all missing entries. No other way. Goodbye Authpass.
