How secure is KeePassX?
- by Uli
I have hundreds of passwords, since I use a different random one for each website/service.
They are all generated & stored with KeePassX, which can be synced to different computers and my android phone via dropbox (or ubuntuone).
I know the database of KeePassX is secure (at least with a good passphrase).
But what about when I am copying the password into the clipboard (where it is stored for 5 seconds)? Can any program running in user-space access the clipboard and store the password? If so, how big of a security risk is this?
