How well does KeePass support having multiple open databases? And ideally one would also want something like GPG where every sysadmin has his own password to the same shared file, which I do not think it supports.


In my experience, Keepass works great with 2 databases open.

On my work computer, I have my own personal DB and my Work DB open at all time. I mainly use the passwords for the web, and the Kee extension in Firefox and Chrome finds the right password without any problem, from both DB. I have my personal ssh keys stored in my DB as well, and Putty can access them without problem.

I can't speak for shared DB though, as I've never used it in that way.


Quite well, I always have my webdev, sysops and business kdbx open simultaneously.
