KeePassX Forked
From the project site's FAQ:
KeePassX is an amazing password manager, but hasn't seen much active development for quite a while. Many good pull requests were never merged and the original project is missing some features which users can expect from a modern password manager. Hence, we decided to fork KeePassX to continue its development and provide you with everything you love about KeePassX plus many new features and bugfixes.
KeePassXC is not currently available in the Debian repos.

Re: KeePassX Forked
I've used KeePassX for a number of years. I haven't tried KeePassXC. I'm just sharing the news about the fork.
The statement about there not being much active development on KeePassX is true, though. Other than the 2.x release, there hasn't been much development. It does work fairly well, so I'm not complaining. There is one minor annoyance. KeePassX seems to think the database has changed when nothing really has changed, so you frequently get prompted whether you want to save changes when exiting the program. This issue appeared with the 2.x release.

Re: KeePassX Forked
Well, that's just a little pimple on a bug really, if it doesn't change the database that is. 
OH MY: Repos show Version: 0.4.3+dfsg-0.1+deb8u1. Where did you get version 2.x?
Debian keepassx is REALLY OLD!

Re: KeePassX Forked
The Stretch 2.X keepassx is backported in jessie-backports.
I found a github repo where the maintainer has debianized the source for keepassxc and provided 64-bit debs for Jessie, Stretch, and Sid. https://github.com/magkopian/keepassxc-debian/releases
I could build and host the resulting debs on the openSUSE Build Service for Jessie i386 and amd64, if anyone is interested.

Re: KeePassX Forked
Since I with Linux can think, I use keepassx.
Because of my multiboot system, I have both in use. Of course it is somewhat difficult to keep the databases (which are not compatible with each other) on the computers up to date. With *unison* it goes however well.
In v2 I miss the individual settings.
That's why I'm very curious about the keepassXC. Thanks KrunchTime for your reference!

Re: KeePassX Forked
Nice find! I installed it from Here (the link mentioned above) and I am pleased thus far. It does what it should no problems. I will be back to kvetch for all of you if I encounter any thing remarkable.
I may be slow, but I have the best of intentions.

Re: KeePassX Forked
^ thanks for the info.
i never felt like using the actual keepass on linux. keepassx has served me well enough (it's 0.4.4 on archlinux, but keepassxc is in [community], and it's 2.1.2) - but i'll try keepassxc.

As stevep stated, I got it via the Debian Backports repo. And don't be mislead by the 0.4.3 to 2.x versions; there was no 1.x version.
@unklar: You're welcome.
