KDBX (KeePass Database Exchange File) is a secure file format native to KeePass, a popular password management software. It's used as a storage format for databases which contain sensitive information such as login usernames, passwords, or other credentials. The database is secured using strong AES encryption, helping protect user data from unauthorized access. The KDBX format was introduced in KeePass version 2.0 and is currently the default format used by the software.
How to open KDBX file?
KDBX files can be opened using KeePass, an open source, cross-platform password manager designed to securely store and manage multiple sets of credentials. It is also possible to use a standalone reader for KDBX files, such as KeePassXC.
The same program can also export the content of a KDBX database to other formats, such as text, XML, and .CSV. Additionally, programs like PasswordSafe, KeePassDroid, and KeeWeb might be able to open .KDBX files on different platforms. Similar file extensions include:
- KBDX
- KEYPASS
- KEEPASS2
- KPASS
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .KDBX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .KDBX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .KDBX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .KDBX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .KDBX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .KDBX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .KDBX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .KDBX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .KDBX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .KDBX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
