The kdbx files can now be opened with KeePassXC and the attachments can be opened again. To install ~ $ sudo apt install keepassxc And it is part of the official Ubuntu repositories as well. It is fully compatible with the kdbx password database files. The biggest advantage with KeePassXC however is that this fork does not rely on Mono, instead it's built on Qt.

There are a lot of forks of the original KeePass project around. However with the Ubuntu repositories, there is no newer KeePass 2 version available (yet).

And the Mono project also merged a bug fix a month ago (in February 2021). This bug was also reported in the Keepass discussion forums and on the Red Hat bugzilla (bugs 18486410).Īccording to an information in the latter bug description, a workaround was published in KeePass 2.47. Issue 17204 mentions these exact two errors (Access denied and Cannot find the specified file). It turns out that the source of the problem is a bug in Mono, a cross-platform open source dot net framework on which Keepass 2 is built. So you only have to remember one single master key to unlock the whole database. You have to download the plugin yourself and drop it into a particular folder wherever you installed it to. A plugin is required for communicating with the browser extensions to perform functions such as autofilling fields. And this works, but maybe not as you may expect. You can store all your passwords in one database, which is locked with a master key. You can install KeePass on Ubuntu using the keepass2 package. So something internally for all kinds of links (file paths and web URLs) seems to be broken since the upgrade. KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way.
