KeePassXC 2.3.4 released with numerous bug fixes and improvements

KeePassXC on Ubuntu

KeePassXC is a free password manager and open source licensed under the GNU Public License. This application started as a fork of the KeePassX community (itself a KeePass port) due to what was considered to be very slow development of KeePassX, and the lack of response from its maintainer.

This fork is built from the QT5 libraries, so it is a cross-platform application, which can be run on different platforms such as Linux Windows and macOS.

KeePassXC uses the KeePass 2.x password data format (.kdbx) as native format. You can also import and convert the databases from this. KeepassXC has support for key files and Yubikey for added security.

Stores all passwords in an encrypted database that comes with AES encryption algorithm industry standard using a 256-bit key.

It works as a standalone software and does not require any internet connection.

How to install KeePassXC 2.3.4 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?

Si want to install this application on their system, you must follow the steps that we share with you below.

In Ubuntu and derivatives we have several methods to obtain this application.

The first of them It is with the help of the official repository of the application, which we can add by opening a terminal and executing the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phoerious/keepassxc

We update the list of packages and repositories with:

sudo apt-get update

And finally we install with:

sudo apt-get install keepassxc

Other method to be able to install this application if you don't want to add any repository to the system, It is by installing the application from the official repositories.

Just type:

sudo apt-get install keepassxc

The only drawback is that at the moment the application has not yet been updated in the official Ubuntu repositories, although this does not take long.

On the other hand yeah They like Snap packages that work independently and totally isolated from the system.

They should only have the support to be able to install applications of this type. PYou can install this application with the following command:

sudo snap install keepassxc

Finally the last method we have to obtain this application and which does not require you to install anything. It is with the help of an appimage package.

Only they must download the package with this command:

wget https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/releases/download/2.3.4/KeePassXC-2.3.4-x86_64.AppImage -O KeePassxc.appimage

Le We give execution permissions to the file with this command:

sudo chmo a+x KeePassxc.appimage

Finally, we only have to execute the application by double clicking on it or also if you prefer from the terminal you can execute it with:

./KeePassxc.appimage

When doing this for the first time, they will be asked if they allow a direct access to the file to be integrated into their application menu with which they can later search and launch it from here.

In case they don't want this, they will have to run the application from the downloaded file every time they want to open this application on their systems.
