KeeWeb is a free and open-source password manager compatible with KeePass, available as a web version and desktop apps. The underlying file format is KDBX (KeePass database file). [2]

Technology

KeeWeb is written in JavaScript and uses WebCrypto and WebAssembly to process password files in the browser, without uploading them to a server. It can synchronize files with popular file hosting services, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. [3]

KeeWeb is also available as an Electron bundle which resembles a desktop app. The desktop version adds some features not available on web: [4]

KeeWeb can also be deployed as a standalone server, or installed as a Nextcloud app. [5]

Reception

KeeWeb was praised by Ghacks Technology News in 2016 as "brand-new" fixing the "shortcoming of a web-based version" of KeePass, and by Tech Advisor in 2020 as "well-designed cross-platform password manager". [6] [7]
