Trying to open a .kdbx database with correct password gives the following error "Unable to open the database. Wrong key or database file is corrupt". However, it does work on OSX. Repairing does not fix the issue. I remember also having few random successes before but that's about it.

Are you sure you have the proper password? Do you use a keyfile? You should compare the hashes on both machines, or copy again. Also check keyboard layout. – davidbaumann Mar 02 '18 at 09:58

Also Note: Be sure you are coping over the Key file as well. 2 Factor Protection so just anyone can't open your database. – EODCraft Staff Mar 02 '18 at 11:41

I had the same error. This answer on GitHub was the solution for me:
You always need to use ALL keys you used for creating the database. When you create a database with password and key file, you need to use both to unlock it. Make sure the corresponding checkboxes are ticked on the unlock screen.

3oh my god lol. So I had the wrong checkbox set :) (I had to uncheck the keyfile) – Ced Mar 18 '19 at 10:04
