KeePassXC (originally KeePassX [3] [4] ) is a free and open-source cross-platform password manager. It is built using the Qt toolkit, which allows it to run on Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD, [5] [6] [7] unlike the original KeePass software.

Contents

KeePassXC uses the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format natively. [8] It can also import (and convert) version 2 and the older KeePass 1 (.kdb) databases. KeePassXC supports having key files and YubiKey challenge-response for additional security. [3]

The Electronic Frontier Foundation mentions KeePassXC as "easy-to-use [and] robust software". [9] A security review of KeePassXC version 2.7.4 was completed in late 2022. [10]

An accompanying browser extension [11] is available for Firefox, [12] Tor-Browser, Google Chrome, [13] Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge, [14] and Chromium. Extensions can be linked by enabling browser integration in the desktop application. [15]
