Keypass For Mac
KeePass can be used via Mono on macOS but lacks vital functionality and feels sluggish and simply out of place. MacPass is an attempt to create a native macOS port of KeePass on a solid open source foundation with a vibrant community pushing it further to become the best KeePass client for macOS. KeePass is a Windows program so, as sarov found, installation and operation of KeePass on the Mac is not as simple or refined as on Windows.
A free, open-source, KeePass-compatible password manager for macOS.

Most professionals use multiple highly complex passwords for every purpose so the only problem usually occurs is saving password somewhere safe and accessible. There are few good choices for storing passwords, some are online such as LastPass and some are off-line in which the passwords will be encrypted and stored in files. The best password manager application I know and ever tested is KeePass.
The main reason why KeePass 2.x is not so popular in Linux base operating system community is because this software does not have Linux or Mac version, but it is easy to run it on Linux. Mind that there are some native Linux applications such as KeePassX that can handle .kdb files which is used for KeePass 1.x but the KeePass2.x uses another file format which is .kdbx
In this tutorial, I’m going to write the best way to install KeePass on Mac OSX. Also you can find how to install KeePass on Linux in this website.
The following installation procedure is tested on Mac OSX Lion, but basically it should be applicable on most unix-base operating systems if you can install mono on them.
You should go through the following steps to get this done:
- Download and install mono
- Download and extract KeePass 2.x
- Run the KeePass executable file
1. Download and install mono
In order to download Mono, you should go to the following website and download the stable version that suites your OS (There is one version for Mac OSX):
install the Mono on your Mac (or what ever Unix distribution you have).

2. Download and extract KeePass 2.x
Download the KeePass from the official website and then download the “Portable KeePass 2.x (ZIP Package)” from the right column as the image below shows:
then simply extract the ZIP file on your hard drive in what ever folder you want.

3. Run the KeePass executable file
after extracting, open the terminal and go to the folder where you extracted the zip file in, and simply use the command below to set the proper permission: Best task manager for mac.
finally you are good to go and run the KeePass with the following command:
This way has a simple problem, you can not double click on the keepass to run it, so if you want to open it with double click, you can use a small shell script to load the keepass in mono. to do that, copy and paste the following lines of code to a file named ” KeePass.command ” and then save the file. later on you can run the keepass with double clicking on the shell script you just created 😉

remember that the {PATH} should be replaced with the actual path the you extracted your keepass zip file in it.

Update (20.Jul.2014): Felix Geyer who is working on KeePassX on 22.Sep.2010 announced that he is writing KeePassX2 from scratch and in this new version which will be similar to keepass 2.x, he is going to support .kdbx files. At the moment he released his 6th alpha version which has Mac OSx bundle, so you can easily install it via drag and drop into your Application folder. Remember that KeePassX is not official version of famous KeePass and is just a port and it tries to mimic the same functionality.
