"I usually just create different database files and share them with a Dropbox link, having two different files with two different random keys. I'm using version 2.09.

I have a ""personal.kdbx"" database that has all my personal stuff and a ""company-name.kdbx"". I usually use the ""key file"" option to open the databases since it's easier to the people I share with to copy it to an old USB drive and say ""this drive is needed to open the passwords in the file, DO NOT lose this flash drive"".

I don't know if this approach is a good one to your scenario, I think you're looking for some kind of ""groups permissions"" in a single *.kdbx file. I don't think this is possible. I haven't seen this option on the KeePass website or in the documentation."

"Keep two separate databases (for your Banking passwords and one for your personal passwords).

You can then use use the Windows home sharing feature (in Win7) and share the .kdbx file for your banking passwords with a certain computer at home.

I would usually use a separate (specially created) email account where I would upload my personal .kdbx file as a backup. You can use this method to share your Bank passwords database with a person who knows the username and password for the email service where you uploaded the .kdbx."
