I have been using the KeePassX password manager on CentOS 6 and 7 for

units where I use keepass2android. Database compatibility is thus
required.
Are you aware that KeePass 2 works under Linux, with mono? There are
also ports for Android, but I've never tried them.

You may have reasons to prefer KeePassX over KeePass 2, though.
I for one use keepassx. My password database is synchronized between
variety of systems, and I can view/edit it on: CentOS, FreeBSD, MS
Windows, Android (and should be able on any derivatives of those). I
didn't try iOS as currently I don't have a need in that.

Incidentally, does anybody know if there is any necessity in keepassx to
be patched? Did I read the original post correctly: there is no activity
on the development site for long time? Should there be any? (As, I would
say for comparison: cvs is so established software that there is no
development to expect, only if there are any security holes found those
need to be patched). Any insight on KeePassX anybody?

I found KeePassX for Linux lacking compared to KeePass on Windows, specifically:

- It does not support references; and

- When switching keyboards, characters in the password (possibly even userid) are switched, almost like it is storing key codes rather than characters. Big annoyance for me since I need to make sure to always switch back to the US English keyboard when using AutoFill.
