KeePassXC is a free and open-source password manager. It started as a community fork of KeePassX [3] [4] (itself a cross-platform port of KeePass).

Contents

It is built using Qt5 libraries, making it a multi-platform application which can be run on Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD. [5] [6] [7]

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]
