The rule for ellipsis is simple: If the described action requires interruption (typically by a dialog) which requires user input, then ellipsis should be used to indicate that triggering the menu will not immediately trigger the desired action. Examples: "Save" does not need an ellipsis in general (when the file name is known) "Open..." needs an ellipsis, as one must select a file to open. "Save as..." needs an ellipsis, as in order to save the file as something, one must select a file name. "About" does not need an ellipsis, while it may open a dialog, that dialog is the desired result. |

KeePassXC 
KeePass Cross-platform Community Edition
About
KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX with the goal to extend and improve it with new features and bugfixes to provide a feature-rich, fully cross-platform and modern open-source password manager.
Additional features compared to KeePassX
- Auto-Type on all three major platforms (Linux, Windows, OS X)
- Stand-alone password generator
- Password strength meter
- YubiKey HMAC-SHA1 authentication for unlocking databases
- Using website favicons as entry icons
- Merging of databases
- Automatic reload when the database changed on disk
- KeePassHTTP support for use with PassIFox in Mozilla Firefox and chromeIPass in Google Chrome or Chromium, and passafari in Safari.
- Many bug fixes
For a full list of features and changes, read the CHANGELOG document.
Note about KeePassHTTP
KeePassHTTP is not a highly secure protocol and has certain flaw which allow an attacker to decrypt your passwords when they manage to intercept communication between a KeePassHTTP server and PassIFox/chromeIPass over a network connection (see here and here). KeePassXC therefore strictly limits communication between itself and the browser plugin to your local computer. As long as your computer is not compromised, your passwords are fairly safe that way, but use it at your own risk!
Installation
Pre-compiled binaries can be found on the downloads page. Additionally, individual Linux distributions may ship their own versions, so please check out your distribution's package list to see if KeePassXC is available.
Building KeePassXC
More detailed instructions are available in the INSTALL file or on the Wiki page.
First, you must download the KeePassXC source tarball or check out the latest version from our Git repository.
To clone the project from Git, cd to a suitable location and run
git clone https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc.git
This will clone the entire contents of the repository and check out the current develop branch.
To update the project from within the project's folder, you can run the following command:
git pull
Once you have downloaded the source code, you can cd into the source code directory, build and install KeePassXC:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DWITH_TESTS=OFF ..
make -j8
sudo make install
cmake accepts the following options:
-DWITH_XC_AUTOTYPE=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable Auto-Type (default: ON)
