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?

hello

using keepassx probably for 10 years or so across linux,win,mac,ios

in late 2015 there was a security issue found and folks @ keepassx.org
patched it fairly  quickly and patch propagated
up to epel quickly as well ...

passwd manager {non-cloud ones} , in my opinion,
is a "static"  concept ...
unless no issues with the underlying frameworks,
what's there to patch ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

OT-sidetrack:

What is/are a good cloud-less password manager if I'd need it in a
cross-platform scenario;  Windows, CentOS, Ubuntu and Android?

A cloud enabled manager would be okay I guess if I could move the password
database to say my own private cloud and be able to access it from there
from all platforms.

KeepassX seemed like a good choice until I found out it didn't do Android.

Suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I have installed keypass2android on my phones which should be able to use the same database but have not tried it to see how to actually use a password manager on a touchscreen device... Apparently there are also concerns about apps having "unlimited" access to the clipboard so one should use the keepass2android keyboard. Sounds like a hassle...
