KeePass works better is you set it up to use Auto-Type, which sends keystrokes to the window manager to type the passwords into the fields.

I've used keepass ona a daily basis. Auto type failed with my usage patterns - essentially I have multiple entry points per site (enterprise app) and each has a different titlebar text.

I've switched from OS X a few months ago and I'm actually happier with KeePassX than with 1Password. I hated AgileBits for the 4.0 bloat redesign which made everything slower (this is a constant on OS X it seems). I have a pretty simple use case with KeePassX (no sync) and here are the solutions I've found to problems mentioned in this thread. Hope they're helpful!

Hide KeePassX's window:

Just open the settings, click the first two checkboxes ("system tray icon", "minimize to tray instead of taskbar") and add `keepassx -min` to your login script. It'll ask for your password and disappear.

Title bar:

KeePassX does use the browser title bar and it's sometimes not reliable. It's easily fixable, though. Install a Greasemonkey plugin to your browser and add scripts such as this one:

// ==UserScript==<br>// @name Google<br>// @namespace google<br>// @include https://accounts.google.com/*<br>// @grant none<br>// ==/UserScript==<br>document.title += " | Google";

Browser plugin:

I like how I could type "gmail" in Alfred and have 1Password do everything for me. I was able to reproduce that with a bash script that I call from my own launcher and it works just as well, if not faster.

#!/bin/bash<br>nohup xdg-open "https://example.com/" >&/dev/null &<br>wmctrl -a Opera<br>sleep 1<br>xte 'keydown Hyper_R' 'key dollar' 'keyup Hyper_R'

Last line simply simulates my KeePassX Auto-Type shortcut (which I got from OS X, yes).

Update: <br> are newlines, can't believe it's this hard to post code snippets here.

I do use that, but I like having the fields pre-filled, like Firefox does, so I can just press login.
