KeePassXC overview

KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX, a native cross-platform port of KeePass Password Safe, with the goal of extending and improving it with new features and bugfixes to provide a feature-rich, fully cross-platform, and modern open-source password manager.

Features:
  • Encrypted - The complete database is always encrypted with the industry-standard AES (alias Rijndael) encryption algorithm using a 256 bit key. KeePassXC uses a database format that is compatible with KeePass Password Safe. Your wallet works offline and requires no Internet connection.
  • Cross-Platform - KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX, the cross-platform port of KeePass for Windows. Every feature works cross-platform and was thoroughly tested on multiple systems to provide users with the same look and feel on every supported operating system. This includes the beloved Auto-Type feature.
  • Open Source - The full source code is published under the terms of the GNU General Public License. We see open source as a vital prerequisite for any security-critical software product. For that reason, KeePassXC is and always will be free as in freedom (and in beer). Contributions by everyone are welcome!

By anonymous-stingray-2711119 on Sep 15 2023 for v.2.7.6

Value: 5.0

Amazing software. After using 1Password for the longest time, then looking for alternatives as venture capital moved in in early 2022, when Iconiq Growth invested 620 million dollars. After briefly testing Bitwarded, made the mvoe to migrate to KeePassXC. The imported via CSV worked fine and I am now very happy to have made the switch. KeePassXC keeps evolving - unlock via TouchID works and I now can't wait for their upcoming Passkey support which I am very excited about. Donated a small amount to the effort.

Customer support: 5.0

Developer team is very responsive in their matrix chat as well as on GitHub. Suggestions and Merge Requests are considered and implemented. This is how it should be ❤️
