1. Unlocking the database takes much longer than it should. Linux Keepass2 is much slower at unlocking than Windows Keepass2 on the same machine.

2. On Linux, after entering the password the windows disappears, giving no UI feedback during the lengthy unlocking process. When you type the password wrong, it takes even longer for some reason, and there's no tray icon when you type the password wrong, so you'd have to minimize all your windows to find the dialog box all the way in the back.

3. Lacking Unicode support in 2017 is simply unacceptable: https://i.imgur.com/X0T46bY.png

None of this is the fault of the Keepass developers, since all three problems are absent in the Windows build. As far as I can tell the problem lies with Mono.




Yeah I just downloaded. This seems like a good native drop-in replacement. Even the menus et all seem to be in the same place.

And Unicode works, yeah!

I have a really old computer and keepass2 opens stuff instantly so I'm guessing I'm probably not using good enough security.


It might take slightly longer, sure, but just slightly (instant vs maybe 0.5s at most). Maybe my database isn't big enough (~200 passwords) for this to be annoying, but it's certainly not that bad.
