.KDB File

The kdb file extension is nowadays mainly associated with the KeePass, a password management software available for Microsoft Windows, Mac, Linux etc.

The .kdb file from KeePass represents an encrypted passwords database used in first versions of the program. The latest versions use kdbx databases instead.

KeePass databases are typically made up by two things:

• a header (not encrypted) containing various information on how to decrypt the database and information on the database

• the database, in XML and encrypted (normally).

Files with kdb file extension be found as encrypted password stashes from earlier version of KeePass password manager.

How to open:

The only programs capable of working with .kdb files are the original KeePass and its ports like KeePassX.

How to convert:

Latest versions of KeePass still support older .kdb files and can possible export them to newer version should the user need it.
