My Initial message from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1433765

Fedora seems to use `KeePassX` as password manager.

But `KeePassX` development seems to be stoped sinc KeePassX 2.0.2 release
(2016-02-02). See website [changelog](https://www.keepassx.org/changelog) or
[PR](https://github.com/keepassx/keepassx/pulls).

Hopefully `KeePassXC` takes over. See [website](https://keepassxc.org/project)
or [Github](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc).

They added some new features : 

> Auto-Type on all three major platforms (Linux, Windows, OS X)
> Stand-alone password generator
> Password strength meter
> YubiKey HMAC-SHA1 authentication for unlocking databases
> Using website favicons as entry icons
> Merging of databases
> Automatic reload when the database was changed externally
> KeePassHTTP support for use with PassIFox in Mozilla Firefox and chromeIPass in Google Chrome and Chromium.
> Many bug fixes
>  For a full list of new features and changes, have a look at the [full KeePassXC changelog](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/wiki/KeePassXC-Changelog).

They also plan to add [support for KDBX4 file
format](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/148).

I think it's a good perspective to switch from KeePassX to KeePassXC in the
next major fedora release.

Actually Fedora Package db haven't `KeePassXC` but it is available into Fedora
Copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bugzy/keepassxc/

So this issue is not only about adding KeePassXC into next Fedora templates but
also to remove KeePassX from them. That's why I didn't add KeePassX on the
Package maintainers wishlist on the wiki for now.

PS: I previously created an issue on Qubes OS issue tracker (for their Fedora
template): https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2717.

Why KeePassXC instead of KeePassX? https://keepassxc.org/docs#faq-keepassx
