KeePassXC is an open-source Web App / Server that stores and manages sensitive information. It operates as a cross-platform desktop application available for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, providing a local environment for managing credentials and private notes.

The software stores usernames, passwords, URLs, attachments, and notes in an offline, encrypted file. This database can be kept on a local drive or stored in private and public cloud solutions for synchronization. Users organize entries into customizable groups and use an integrated search function with advanced patterns to locate specific data quickly. User-defined titles and icons can be specified for each entry to improve identification and management.

Key features

  • Database storage in KDBX format compatible with KDBX3 and KDBX4
  • Integrated password generator for characters and passphrases
  • TOTP storage and generation for two-factor authentication
  • Browser integration for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Chromium, Vivaldi, Brave, and Tor
  • YubiKey and OnlyKey challenge-response support
  • Auto-Type functionality to enter passwords into other applications
  • Import options for CSV, Bitwarden, and KeePass1
  • SSH Agent integration and FreeDesktop.org Secret Service support

KeePassXC includes a command line interface via keepassxc-cli for advanced users and automation. It provides database reports to monitor password health, check against Have I Been Pwned, and view general statistics. The software allows for field references between entries, file attachments, and custom attributes to store additional metadata. The architecture ensures all information is encrypted at rest and remains within the program unless explicitly shared via browser integration or Auto-Type. It also supports passkeys through its browser extensions.

This tool is designed for users with high demands for secure personal data management who prefer offline storage and full control over their database over cloud-based services.
