Support the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format

Not sure how simple this would be, but it'd be a great feature.

I was like minded, and much annoyed that none of the CLI programs offered support for KeePassV2.

But I then found out about a neat little feature in KeePassV2 and since then joined the dark side: http://keepass.info/help/kb/trigger_examples.html

It allows you to automagically export your V2 database to V1 format whenever you save your changes, and with a simple sync (e.g. dropbox) you can then use it whenever, wherever.

Cheers.

KeePass 2.x support is planned but actually I don't know anything about this database version. I'll figure this out when I've the time for this.

Nice trick iwfmp. Wish keepassc supported 2.x though.

Glad there's a workaround. Haven't made the move into KeePass yet, but this utility adds weight to the intent :)

@raymontag have you looked more at this? It seems a major undertaking, as the db is a complete swap in formats (and XML parsing is...unfun) Are you still on KeePass 1.x for your use, or are you employing this workaround?

[raymontag]

Honestly I've not found the time , yet, to look at the KeePass 2-code. But I will updare you if I havr an idea in which direction this project will go. All I can say that there will not be big changes in the next time but maybe some new, smaller features.

If it's of any help, this library is able to read kdbx files

[chrisberkhout]

Would be great to have this. In the mean time there's http://kpcli.sourceforge.net/

Any chance there will ever be v2 support?

[raymontag]

Not in the python version but it's planned for the rewrite in Rust.

[cloudlena]

@raymontag, where can I find the Rust rewrite?

[dcorking]

Mini feature request: It would be great to have advice on startup that this doesn't recognise KeePass 2 databases (or even better, when you browse a directory containing a kdbx file).

@mastertinner raymontag wrote this: https://github.com/raymontag/rust-keepass and there are other Rust projects here https://crates.io/search?page=1&per_page=10&q=keepass (I haven't tried any of them)

[raymontag]

@dcorking Hey, thanks for your interest in this old piece of code :) Unfortunately, I have not the time nor interest to improve the project at the moment. The Rust rewrite is dead as well.

Feel free to fork.

It is still the only formula returned by brew search keepass so some people must find it useful. I am afraid I switched to kpcli (whose UI is more crude) but thanks for your code and for your speedy reply.
